Alright, but don't expect any change. The 8250 patches are related to
using DMA for the serial ports (except the console). It may affect
bluetooth, the serial port on the arduino connector, but not the console.

I have a smsc95xx 4p usb hub with 1 eth port continuously plugged. It
has leds on all ports so when it works it lights up like a Christmas tree.

But I also tried plugging a usb stick.

It maybe that lsusb is not enough. Iirc the root hub is there, but the
tusb1210 not and then device plugs are not detected. So in my case none
of the leds on the hub turn on.

You lost me here. With "boot loop" you mean "probe loop" right? Why do
you think the tusb1210 driver is not crucial?

See "phy: ti: tusb1210: Don't check for write errors when powering on"

It should not be failing to probe (and with Andy's "Break-infinite-loop"
patch is doesn't) as without the tusb1210 usb host mode won't work as
device plugs are not detected.

Earlier in this thread we had:

"The effect of the patch is that on Merrifield (I tested with Intel
Edison Arduino board which has a HW switch to select between host and
device mode) device mode works but in host mode USB is completely not
working.

Currently on host mode - when working - superfluous error messages from
tusb1210 appear. When host mode is not working there are no tusb1210
messages in the logs / on the console at all. Seemingly tusb1210 is not
probed, which points in the direction of a relation to extcon."

This is done through configfs only when the switch is set to device mode.

IIRC if have v2022.04 but tested v2021.10 earlier (no difference).
