Yes, on Star64 board I see there is one "blue colour" USB-A port and
three "black colour" USB-A port. The product webpage
https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/STAR64 does say "1× USB3.0 Dedicated Host
port / 3× USB2.0 Host port".

For JH7110 is it allowed to have PCIe0 "okay" PCIe1 "okay" and also have
USB 2.0? We disable this PCIe0 here because of JH7110 USB3.0 design on
Mars and on Star64? Can JH7110 have USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 together (does
Star64 do this, or is it USB 2.0 hub attach to JH7110 USB 3.0?)

Minda, I need your help to make a good description of these numbers 0x18
0x148 0x1f4, for the patch to Linux.
First is 'starfive,sys-sycon':
JH7110 Technical Reference Manual, Table 7. "SYS SYSCONSAIF SYSCFG 24
Register Description"
https://doc-en.rvspace.org/JH7110/TRM/JH7110_TRM/sys_syscon.html#sys_syscon__table_c3l_fqs_wsb
Register SYS SYSCONSAIF SYSCFG 24 at offset 0x18 why is this needed?
Your patch series for Linux 6.12 "Fix configuration for on-chip USB 2.0
support"
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241015070444.20972-1-minda.chen@starfivetech.com/
changes u0_pdrstn_split_sw_usbpipe_plugen in the driver and why do we
need this now in the Star64 USB 3.0 dts for Linux 6.13? Is this needed
for USB function only u0_pdrstn_split_sw_usbpipe_plugen or is more from
this register important here ? And, can you make an explanation so I
can learn what is the purpose of "u0_pdrstn_split_sw_usbpipe_plugen" or
any other part of this register we need here (for USB)?
Next is 'stg-syscon':
JH7110 Technical Reference Manual, Table 82. "STG SYSCONSAIF SYSCFG 328
Register Description"
https://doc-en.rvspace.org/JH7110/TRM/JH7110_TRM/stg_syscon.html#stg_syscon__table_mc4_n5s_wsb
Register STG SYSCONSAIF SYSCFG 328 at offset 0x148 what is this?
Something PCIe? Does this have to do with wires on the board going from
USB-A port to PCIe? What is the explanation why we need this for USB?
JH7110 Technical Reference Manual, Table 125. "STG SYSCONSAIF SYSCFG 500
Register Description"
https://doc-en.rvspace.org/JH7110/TRM/JH7110_TRM/stg_syscon.html#stg_syscon__table_njd_45s_wsb
Register STG SYSCONSAIF SYSCFG 500 at offset 0x1f4 is more usb3 bitfield
names, what is a general description why this is needed? Is this "all
the Cadence IP USB3 things" ?
The documentation devicetree/bindings/phy/starfive,jh7110-pcie-phy.yaml
is not enough information to make a good description. "Total 2 registers
offset" is a description of the place where the numbers exist for the
schema but does not say if there is an ordering first,last and the
expected register names in JH7110 TRM. Is there more than one
possibility? or else, will it 100% be exactly STG SYSCONSAIF SYSCFG
registers 328 and 500 at offsets 0x148 and 0x1f4?

For Emil, my patches of Star64 and Mars are limited in scope to do the
work of turning up host mode and adding the necessary vbus GPIO
assignment; so it's not wrong, and given the advice from Minda it's
also not the complete support for all USB-A ports that I would like. I
can extend this series to also include this adjacent USB 3.0
configuration, or follow up in another series that is specific in topic
for USB 3.0? Where I'm at on this is the host mode and GPIO
configuration clearly belongs in dts but I have questions about this
additional (USB 3.0 specific) configuration. And if we do, what do you
think about the addition of syscon register offset values in devicetree,
should they be #define'd somewhere? When it is the vbus GPIO there's
literal sequential number of GPIO's so I did not find it was any problem
to use the value. But, when I read "0x1f4" I think, what is that?
