Definitely great to see some work being done on the USB support, including the PHY initialization. > The reason I send it here and now, is to get some input from the > (Linux) MVEBU guys on the binding and functional tests on Armada XP.

Generally speaking, the Linux support for Armada 370/XP relies a lot on specific initialization done by the Marvell U-Boot, especially in terms of USB PHY, PCIe link initialization or SERDES configuration. One of my goal when starting Armada 370/XP support in Barebox was to start with a pristine state, and see what is missing in Linux. > I decided to just add the new binding style to the three board dts > overlays we have for barebox.

I think I should be able to test USB device on some of the development boards, I'll have to check. Thanks!
