thank you for reviewing the whole series!

OK, I will do that if there are no objections from other developers
I am intending to place the relevant code in xhci-pci-etron.c, similar
to what we already have with xhci-pci-renesas.c

the problem is also the "INIT" register which needs to be set before
writing the registers

I think this won't work in practice because of the EJ1X8_GPIO_CTRL for
which we have to read from bits [7:0] but write to bits [23:16]
due to this (and the INIT register as mentioned above) I did not
consider GPIO_GENERIC any further

will do so, thanks!


Best regards,
