Description Gustavo Romero 2018-01-05 20:10:07 UTC 
QEMU for PowerPC usually provides the following devices that will be used on a VNC console:

Populating /vdevice methods
Populating /vdevice/l-lan@1000
Populating /vdevice/v-scsi@2000
       SCSI: Looking for devices

          8000000000000000 DISK     : "QEMU     QEMU HARDDISK    2.5+"
Populating /vdevice/vty@30000000

    USB mouse 

If xhci driver is not available as a built-in module login console on VNC will end with no input devices making it impossible to login through the VNC console.

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.
