O.K., after cleaning and completely renewing my msdos-partition on the =
uSD again I could not reproduce all the crashes from my last tests
( as long as I don=E2=80=99t touch the msdos-partition with any =
file-changes).
So once beeing in a clean setup: keyboard/mouse works, HDMI works, xorg =
works,=20
Mounting an SSD-drive and copying a file(140MB) to it =
worked.detaching/reattaching all devices/hubs didn`t produce failures.

When I touch the msdos-partition in any way(e.g. overwriting a file), =
the problems come back=20
And it=E2=80=99s unclear to me why it specially affects the =
pcie/usb-functionality and not other functionality=E2=80=A6. but it is =
possible that my uSD is simply damaged and needs reformatting ..

Assuming that users normally  don't change the msdos partition, and we =
could e.g. add=20
invisibility the overlay-folder and other files , I would say:
The driver is ready for review at Phabricator - and then the experts can =
give their mustage ..

although it would be better if we had more pre-testers (anyone here?) : =
I see no heavyweight reason to not give the patch for review on phab....=20=


and thanks Robert for writing  the driver
