So it's a boot issue. I think it would make sense to determine whether
the problem is caused by bootloader actions or the kernel.

Is it possible to configure the bootloader to wait a few seconds before
booting the kernel and connect or disconnect the device during this
time, or to never boot the kernel at all so that the device can be
disconnected and tested on another machine?

If it's the bootloader, and things seem to be going in this direction,
then you will need to sort this out with the vendor, obviously.

Thanks, that's all I wanted to know. It's some other xHCI controller.

(I looked it up, it seems RP1 uses Synopsys IP).
