Hi Sarah,

Are you sure about that? Last I heard, xHCI debug support was a logo
requirement from Microsoft for Windows 8 and above, so I would have
thought that most vendors would have implemented it by now. I know
Synopsys put a lot of effort into making sure it works in our IP. Or
did Microsoft relax that requirement at the last minute?
