[PATCH v2] usb: dwc3: Move GUID programming after PHY initialization
From: Selvarasu Ganesan
Date: Fri Apr 17 2026 - 02:35:21 EST
The Linux Version Code is currently written to the GUID register before
PHY initialization. Certain PHY implementations (such as Synopsys eUSB
PHY performing link_sw_reset) clear the GUID register to its default
value during initialization, causing the kernel version information to
be lost.
Move the GUID register programming to occur after PHY initialization
completes to ensure the Linux version information persists.
