Nice work, I want to try your patches. But I have only one machine with
debug capability, I think I can use it as debug target. Can I use another
machine with usb 3.0 but no debug capability as the debug host?

BTW, I hacked a cable according to usb 3 spec, cut vbus/d+/d-, cross wired
ss pins.

Thanks
Dave
