Thanks for testing!

I completely forgot that arm32 has all these different defconfigs.

While trying to adjust qcom_defconfig I came across something that confuses
me. The original defconfig results in:

# CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD is not set
CONFIG_USB_DWC3_DUAL_ROLE=y

My assumption was that xHCI support is need for dwc3 dual mode (which is
made explicit by https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1468240/), is
that incorrect? Maybe without xHCI support the controller can still
operate in USB 2.0 dual role mode?
