[FAQ] J721S2XSOMXEVM: Enable USB 2.0 Hub on J7200/J721S2/J784S4

The J7200/J721S2/J784S4  has only one USB controller and that is muxed between HUB and TYPE C. 

By default, the MUX value is low so only Type C will work.

If you want to enable the HUB instead of Type C you need to change the USB2.0_MUX_SEL value to 1.

In linux you can do so by GPIO hogging.

Below is the dts patch for the J7200 :

3771.0001-Enable-staked-USB2.0.patch

#apply the patch 
cd <linux_sdk>/board-support/linux-*/
git am 0001-Enable-staked-USB2.0.patch

cd ../../

# build the dtb
make linux-dtbs 

#copy the dtb to the sd card
cp board-support/<linux-*>/arch/arm64/boot/dts/ti/k3-j7200-common-proc-board.dtb /media/xyz/rootfs/boot

The above patch is validated on the 8.0 SDK.

Similar changes need to be done for j784s4 and j721s2.
