After upgrading my headless Raspberry Pi 2B to Raspbian/Debian Buster (and reboots), the USB mouse stopped writing to /dev/input/mouse0; the follwoing command remains silent when I move the mouse or click a mouse button:
sudo cat /dev/input/mouse0
1) The mouse (hardware) works, tested on another RPi (Raspbian/Debian Stretch).
2) The kernel detects when I unplug and re-plug the mouse:
[64593.590044] usb 1-1.5: USB disconnect, device number 6
[75909.126278] usb 1-1.4: new low-speed USB device number 8 using dwc_otg

3) /dev/input/mouse0 disappears when I unplug the mouse and reappears after re-plug:
$ ls -lA /dev/input

What else should I try to get the mouse back to work? Thanks for hints, where I should look.
