[RFC PATCH] usb: host: Default CONFIG_USB_XHCI_RCAR to module
From: Prabhakar
Date: Thu May 07 2026 - 11:51:59 EST
From: Lad Prabhakar <prabhakar.mahadev-lad.rj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
On R-Car Gen3 and RZ/G2HMNE SoCs, when CONFIG_USB_XHCI_RCAR is built-in
and the system boots with an NFS root filesystem, the xHCI controller
probes before firmware becomes available. As a result, the firmware
request fails:
xhci-renesas-hcd ee000000.usb: Direct firmware load for
r8a779x_usb3_v3.dlmem failed with error -2
Default CONFIG_USB_XHCI_RCAR to module on ARCH_RENESAS so that probing
is deferred until after the root filesystem is mounted, ensuring that
the firmware is accessible.
Configurations explicitly selecting CONFIG_USB_XHCI_RCAR=y are
unaffected.

Say 'Y' to enable the support for the xHCI host controller
found in Renesas R-Car and RZ/G3E alike ARM SoCs.
