This breaks all the supported peripheral boot modes. Have you tested
UART/ethernet boot with this patch?

I specifically wanted a separate defconfig for usb_host as it is a
special case and rest of the boot modes can be supported using a single
defconfig. If you don't like this approach, please create separate
defconfigs for peripheral and memory boot modes.

Thanks and regards,
