Fix for this issue
A commit references this bug: Author: nwhitehorn Date: Tue Jan 9 19:41:10 UTC 2018 New revision: 327736 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/327736 Log: Add XHCI support to powerpc64 GENERIC. This is useful to get input devices supported on newer POWER hardware and in graphical VMs run on the same, which are typically XHCI-only. The 32-bit GENERIC kernel, which does not run on hardware made in the last decade and is unlikely to encounter XHCI devices, is left unchanged. PR: kern/224940 Submitted by: Gustavo Romero MFC after: 1 week Changes: head/sys/powerpc/conf/GENERIC64 Appears fixed in all supported releases. |
