Problem
One of my USB ports (1-4) on my laptop is broken. I am not looking for a fix since it is a hardware issue, I am simply looking for a way to tell the kernel to stop trying to activate it because it is slowing down the activation of my working USB port. It also slows down reboots and shutdowns.
The kernel will try and activate the USB port even when there is no device is connected to it.

More Information
I have attempted bash - How to disable a specific usb port permanently in linux? - Stack Overflow, but the problem port does not show up in lspci and because of that I don't know what the PCI ID is.
I have tried different settings with /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/wakeup and /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/control to no avail. The only effect from the previous commands were disabling my working USB ports which is undesirable.
How do I tell the kernel to stop trying to activate USB port 1-4?
