March 2025 performance highlights for flipperdevices/u-boot. Delivered a cohesive USB subsystem upgrade for StarFive JH7110-based boards, integrating Cadence USB3 controller support, a new USB2.0 PHY driver, and generic PCIe/USB PHYs. Implemented device-role aware PHY configuration (peripheral, host, OTG) with proper DR mode translation and wrapper DTS alignment (OF_UPSTREAM), and added VisionFive2 cadence USB support. Fixed SPL-stage USB overcurrent handling to stabilize early boot. These changes enable reliable USB host/gadget and USB3 functionality across StarFive and VisionFive2 platforms, accelerating bring-up and broadening board support across deployments.
