It enables qemu USB support which causes a reset
loop currently with u-boot.

I am very worried about merging patches specifically to disable usb
(here and in the selftest) since that is something we expect to work to
allow the graphics images to work properly.

Is there an upstream discussion about why usb causes the hang and/or
any estimate on when it might get fixed? I'm partly tempted to revert
the uboot version instead of this.

Cheers,

Richard

Please allow downstream configurations to override this. They may not
care about USB emulation with qemu/runqemu. Several layers try to
build upon qemuarm64 oe-core machine but may need to tweak things
to get to a working test setup.

With Linux kernel AFAIK qemu USB works well, and qemu itself.
u-boot is a different beast but we have developers working
on improving the situation and I've notified them of this
easy to test scenario. u-boot side needs to sync the USB
stack with Linux kernel side changes and this is not a small
task. Sadly no upstream discussion link currently.

Not a perfect answer but better than nothing I hope.

Cheers,
