Worked on stabilizing USB hardware compatibility in the ImmortalWRT repository for ath79 devices, focusing on resolving a critical regression affecting USB hub detection. Addressed the issue by reverting a recent change in PHY naming, restoring reliable USB hub operation across supported boards. The solution involved a single, well-scoped patch, which improved traceability and minimized deployment risk for future updates. Demonstrated expertise in Linux kernel development, device driver debugging, and embedded systems, utilizing C to implement and test the fix. This work reduced user impact from USB connectivity issues and strengthened the maintainability of the USB subsystem within ImmortalWRT.
