For v6.0 I can get the exacts tonight. But earlier I had this for v5.17:

https://github.com/htot/meta-intel-edison/blob/master/meta-intel-edison-bsp/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_5.17.bb

There are 2 patches referred in #67 and #68. One is related to the
infinite loop. The other is I believe also needed to get dwc3 to work.

All the kernel config are applied as .cfg.

Patches and cfs's here:
