DSDT: (method from http://bbs.pcbeta.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1690468&page=1&extra=#pid45970789)

check your ports with AIDA64, i got the results. (image: #131)
usb 2.0: port1 port2 port 9
usb 3.0: port17 port19 port20
special port: port4 port5 port7

then open your dsdt.dsl with MaciASL. find RHUB.

then delete other port you will not use(or just documenting it). i left 9 ports(HS01 HS02 HS04 HS05 HS07 SS03 SS05 SS07). careful the address, do not delete your working port.

then find your ssdt(the one define the usb port). the ssdt.dml below is mine.

add the 9 port function to dsdt. Example:
original:
Code:
Device (HS01)
               {
                   Name (_ADR, One)  // _ADR: Address
                }
after:
Code:
Device (HS01)
                {
                    Name (_ADR, One)  // _ADR: Address
                    Method (_UPC, 0, NotSerialized)  // _UPC: USB Port Capabilities
                    {
                        Return (GUPC (One))
                    }

                    Method (_PLD, 0, NotSerialized)  // _PLD: Physical Location of Device
                    {
                        Return (GPLD (One, One))
                    }
                }
Method (_UPC, 0, NotSerialized) and Method (_PLD, 0, NotSerialized) from here.

change the left 8 ports like this. then get your dsdt.aml file. you can remove your usb injector now.
At last, this is my EFI files.

What kind of M.2 device is it?
 
I think just the normal samsung 256 m.2

Not enough details. Samsung makes all three types: PCIe NVMe, PCIe AHCI, and SATA. What you need to do depends on specifically what type it is.

Post output of 'lspci -nn' in Linux Terminal.
