Hey Marek,

We haven't spoken for great while... I'm glad to hear from you!

Ahh.. Sorry, thought you are collecting all the USB patches or at least
provide your Ack so patches can go through other trees..

Yeah, I haven't looked at it thoroughly... That's why the "right?" in the
end of my sentence. Sorry once again, I did not mean to offend you.

Ahhhhh... First of all thank you Marek! You've done a great job AFAIR.
I really mean it.
And it is a pity, things have gone this way.
May be this can still be fixed? Tom?

Hmmm... I don't really like this approach as it does not help during the board
production, where I'd like to see the bootloader detect as much a it can
during runtime and then flash the board with correct DT...

Ok. I'm fine with this approach.
I'm also fine with if the driver gets fixed and both XHCI instances can be used.

Well, agreed.

I believe we should start fixing things and probably the best time
would be... now? I mean, we can't fix things in the past, right?
