[PATCH v6 0/4] usb: early: add support for early printk through USB3 debug port

[Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>]

xHCI debug capability (DbC) is an optional but standalone
functionality provided by an xHCI host controller. With DbC
hardware initialized, the system will present a debug device
through the USB3 debug port (normally the first USB3 port).
The debug device is fully compliant with the USB framework
and provides the equivalent of a very high performance (USB3)
full-duplex serial link between the debug host and target.
The DbC functionality is independent of xHCI host. There
isn't any precondition from xHCI host side for DbC to work.

This patch set adds support for early printk functionality
through a USB3 debug port by 1) initializing and enabling
the DbC hardware during early boot; 2) registering a boot
console to the system so that early printk messages can go
through the USB3 debug port. It also includes some lines
of changes in usb_debug driver so that it can be bound when
a USB3 debug device is enumerated.
