I've now installed this version on one of my BayTrail targets (DFI SoM
based). And yes, I'm now able to detect USB devices connected to
the HSIC ports of the BayTrail only connected to xHCI and not eHCI.
But I have a problem detecting these USB devices after a reset
has occured. Here the log after a power-up:

As you can see, the 2 USB mass storage devices which are connected
to the xHCI HSIC port are only detected after a power-up and not
after a system reset.

Is this something that you can reproduce on your setup? Could you
please check and let me know if this works for you or if you have
an idea on this issue?

Thanks,
Stefan
