The Raspberry Pi has a PHY defined in device tree ( compatible = "usb-nop-xceiv", bcm283x.dtsi ) and in arm/multi_v7_defconfig the relevant driver is compiled as a module. The dwc2 platform code attempt to find the optional PHY. With fw_devlink=permissive the dwc2 driver seems to fail getting the PHY and proceed. But with fw_devlink=on the dwc2 driver seems to go the EPROBE_DEFER path and wait endlessly for the PHY driver which isn't built into the kernel. This PHY handling was a troublemaker in the past [1] So there are two workarounds to avoid this issue with fw_devlink=on: a) make CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV=y for multi_v7_defconfig b) remove the usb-nop-xceiv PHY from the device tree But it would be nice to have a clean solution.
