Doesn't something like that already happen for the companion USB1
controllers for USB2 ports?
Did you mean USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 controllers by USB1 and USB2?
Yes.
Why do you care which USB controller is driving the pins?
That also doesn't sound like you are changing the PHY.
I am changing one of the PHY registers that controls USB port
(Renesas calls it channel) multiplexing.
I'd have thought that would happen if you had a single controller
that select between multiply PHY.
No, it's not the case.
I realised that wasn't what you were doing, but at first it did seem
to be what you were doing.
There is an interesting case, the USB3 shares a PHY with a SATA
and the PCIE and SATA also share a PHY on the R8A7790.
Some of those look like pcb design decisions - so there is no dynamic
changing, just config time plumbing.
OTOH we are carrying PCIe using two SATA cables (the second carries the
clock) so I suspect some SoC system pcbs may be able to support SATA
or PCIe on the same connector).
Yes, which means we will probably want to support the case where
the USB3 is routed out of the PCIe lanes.
