I think I have found a bug in the linux kernel 4.9.79. The problem
is in the performance of the driver for the Renesas Technology Corp.
uPD720201
PCI-e USB host controller.
My system has an Intel I7 960 cpu. The USB controller works when accessed
using the driver in the 4.8.10 kernel. Within the last few days
I compiled the 4.9.79 kernel using the same .config file as for
the 4.8.10 kernel except that I accepted the default for all kernel
options not already contained in the old config file. In other words,
starting with the .config file for the 4.8.10 kernel I did
make oldconfig
and defaulted on every question.
Under the new kernel the system sees the host control via
lspci:
09:00.0 USB controller: Renesas Technology Corp. uPD720201 USB 3.0 Host
Controller (rev 03)
However nothing comes up in dmesg when I plug a device into the controller.
Odds are you might have missed a build option for your system. Can you
go back to your 4.8.y .config file and look at the new options to be
sure that there was not one for the Renesas hardware you have?
Also, 4.9 is really old, it's recommended you use something more modern,
like 4.14 or even better yet, 4.15.
4.9 was the latest kernel when I updated :-( They're coming thick and
fast, aren't they?
I built the 4.15.2 kernel using the .config derived from the 4.8.10 kernel.
I just don't have the energy to respond to every single difference in
the config file
(never had to do that in the past), and just accept the defaults. The
following lines
appeared while booting the 4.15.2 kernel:

This kernel doesn't recognize the Renesas PCIE host controller either.
When I plug a USB device into the input on the controller there is no
dmesg recognition.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep the kernel around in case someone
comes up with an idea for a patch, but I just don't have time to deal
with it any further.

I'm not saying we should kill all the stupid people, I'm just
saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem
sort itself out.
