Please keep in mind that the rationale of a patch must always be provided.

In this case the issue is related to the limit of the current that the
host PC USB port can provide.

Please see the following commit for detaisl:

    pico-imx7d: README: Recommend the usage of a USB hub

    Since commit 9e3c0174da842 ("pico-imx7d: Add LCD support") we started to
    notice some hangs in U-Boot.

    There is not an issue on such commit per se, but due to the LCD support
    the current drawn is increased and this may cause issues when powering
    pico-imx7d-pi from USB.

    Some computers may be a bit strict with USB current draw and will
    shut down their ports if the draw is too high.

    The solution for that is to use an externally powered USB hub between the
    board and the host computer.

    Add such recommendation to the README file.
