apparently, the USB driver initializes the USB controller (so the SoF
interrupts start appearing at the kernel) but it never receives any
interrupt. The issue could be the way of how IRQs are named by Fiasco.OC
and base-hw. Because of the hierarchic way of how the BCM's IRQ
controller works, the OS kernel developer has to come up with an
enumeration scheme. The scheme I introduced for the base-hw kernel is
defined at repos/base/include/platform/rpi/drivers/board_base.h:


https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/repos/base/include/platform/rpi/drivers/board_base.h

/*
 * IRQ numbers 0..7 refer to the basic IRQs.
 * IRQ numbers 8..39 refer to GPU IRQs 0..31.
 * IRQ numbers 40..71 refer to GPU IRQs 32..63.
 */

The DWC-OTG controller uses IRQ 17. So it is not a basic IRQ. Hence, its
number is subjected to the enumeration scheme above. I do not know how
Fiasco.OC's naming scheme for IRQs on the Raspberry Pi looks like but it
may be different. To investigate, I'd recommend you to instrument both
kernels to log the accesses to the interrupt-controller registers. Look
if each of them touch the same bits once the USB driver is started.

Cheers
Norman
