If the renesas usb 3.0 host controller follows XHCI spec, then EDKII XHCI
driver could be used to manage it.

Thanks

Hello everyone. Just wondering if default builds of ovmf form
http://www.tianocore.org/ovmf/ has support of renesas usb 3.0
controller and if we can enable it in custom build.
First, please don't use the binary from <http://www.tianocore.org/ovmf>.
It is incredibly old (Feb 9 2014). Instead, I recommend <
http://www.kraxel.org/repos/> for anything "bleeding edge".

(Unless you are willing to build your own OVMF, of course, in which case I
recommend that instead).

Second, OVMF includes the "MdeModulePkg/Bus/Pci/XhciDxe" driver. I assume
you assign your Renesas host controller to the virtual machine; is that
right? If your host controller is supported by XhciDxe otherwise (IOW it
would work in a purely physical setup), then I think it should work with
device assignment as well.

CC: Gerd for owning kraxel.org and for USB knowledge
CC: Feng for maintaining XhciDxe
CC: Alex for any possible quirks with USB host controller assignment
