USB hotplugging definitely works as of 5.1-CURRENT; I've swapped my mouse and 
trackball into different ports a number of times, and they work right away.

However, I don't know if this is the case as of 4.8. If you have (other) USB 
peripherals, it might be worth trying a hotplug to see if it works.
