(bcm2837-64-next) USB hub does not get activated/detected

[Yamakuzure]

Hello from Hamburg!

Thank you very much for your awesome work!

I am currently trying to get my Raspberry Pi 3 to boot in 64bit mode using your bcm2837-64-next branch.

While USB works fine using the kernel from https://github.com/Electron752/linux/tree/rpi-4.5.y+rpi364 , it does not work using the most current 4.7 kernel from bcm2837-64-next.

What I get in dmesg is:

---

Unfortunately no other USB events show up, so I have neither ethernet, nor keyboard or mouse.

Do you have any idea, what I am missing? I am using the same configuration as with the Electron752 kernel, updated with your current defconfig.

What information can I provide to help analyzing the problem?

Thank you very much

You should be using the in-tree defconfig; I have no idea what someone else's config would be doing.

[Yamakuzure]

Well, I did use your arch/arm64/configs/defconfig. Sorry for not pointing this out right from the start.

@Yamakuzure In case you still have the problem, try to add dr_mode property in arch/arm64/boot/dts/broadcom/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dts:

&usb {
        dr_mode="host";
};

[anholt]

Do you still have this problem with linux-next?

Closing -- lots of people are using upstream arm64 with USB, so presumably this was just due to using a stale development branch.
