I tested this patchset on top of v6.5-rc2 and I confirm USB detection
is still broken on the Colibri iMX6ULL. With or without the patches
the behavior is the same: USB devices are detected only during boot,
and anything connected after boot are never detected.

For the archives, I'm replying also to the patch series.
