i successful tested this with a CM4 (arm 32 bit,
multi_v7_lpae_defconfig) with eMMC. Before this series the USB devices
(mouse, keyboard) connected to the host interface didn't work. After
comparing vendor DTS with mainline i noticed the missing xHCI block [1].
Unfortunately i wasn't able to get further information from the public
datasheets. I don't know if the VideoCore does some magic tricks on the
xHCI or i missed some downstream xHCI changes.
