Sorry, I always mix up Allwinner with Marvell,
where you changed some things in generic_xhci_fdt. =E2=80=A6
Mo matter, what I wanted to say is that there perhaps could be some need =
to add things
for the bcm-soc what is called ACPi-glue by jmcneill in his sources=E2=80=A6=

`hope you are right that it `ll be only a simple bugfix for you to get =
the right IRQ setup in generic_xhci.c =E2=80=A6

O.K., seems I misunderstood your 'alpha test=E2=80=98- offer=E2=80=A6
I thought you wanted us to test/review your code before you put it to =
phabricator.

Well, jmcneill, where you derived the genet-driver-sources from, has =
already=20
integrated the driver  in UEFI, while it is not yet integrated in =
rpi4-uefi upstream, afaik.
You can dual-boot in UEFI from dt(hangs at gpioregulator at the moment) =
or ACPI(hangs unrelenting at greg`s irq-code at the the moment[.. just =
kidding] .
They are working on netboot at the moment ..=20
I really suggest to track the UEFI - devs to understand what=E2=80=99s =
going on there..=20
it could be the right way to finally get this damned board under =
control..
