well after a few weeks of piddle'n i have a solution
building with libusb-1.0 yielded the same results
system crashes
dwc2 works but restricts usb performance
that was not acceptable for the pi i wanted to connect to
so i set up a raspberry pi zero w with dwc2 just for monitoring the ups
i am guessing this driver is not used enough for the author to update
