>Description:
Recently I performed some NetBSD 8 testing on various hardware including Mac Mini (MGEN2AE/A). The problem I encountered in booting it on this system was that it just freezes without any error message. After some trial and error I found that the freeze occurs on xhci_init, specifically on this line (xhci.c line 1180):
xhci_op_write_4(sc, XHCI_USBCMD, XHCI_CMD_INTE|XHCI_CMD_RS); /* Go! */
Commenting out the line and rebuilding the kernel actually allows system to boot (of course, USB3 fails to work but at least system boot doesn't freeze). Unfortunately my knowledge stops here though I can try to get more info if needed.
Ideally it would be nice to make USB3 work (as mac mini is quite useless without USB) but I believe at least the freeze shouldn't occur on the boot.
Debug messages from boot for xhci (with commented out line above):

Hello NetBSD team,
I performed additional testing the get more information regarding this
issue. I tried to boot different BSDs and compare drivers
(unfortunately all BSDs seem to have their own take on xhci driver).
OpenBSD shares exactly the same issue with the freezing system on
their counterpart of xhci_op_write_4(sc, XHCI_USBCMD,
XHCI_CMD_INTE|XHCI_CMD_RS); call (XOWRITE4(sc, XHCI_USBCMD,
XHCI_CMD_INTE|XHCI_CMD_RS);). FreeBSD boots and identifies USB devices
properly on the other hand. So it can be some kind of reference to
investigate the cause (but I am not sure yet where to look). They
execute it a bit differently (XWRITE4(sc, oper, XHCI_USBCMD,
XHCI_CMD_RS | XHCI_CMD_INTE | XHCI_CMD_HSEE);) but it's not the cause
of the problem. Coincidentally I have same usb3 controller on one
lenovo laptop (or at least identification message is the same up to
revision) but it boots NetBSD and identifies USB devices properly. So
in the end it seems the problem is caused by something before
initialization of the controller (device information/memory?). Any
clues where can I look or what information can I provide? Thank you.
Regards,
Andrius V

Hello again,
I had a chance to continue my testing efforts and I think I came up
with quite a clear reason for this bug and it puts a partial doubt if
it can/needs to be fixed. Long story short that code probably would
work on EFI boot but it fails on BIOS emulation (more details later).
Indirectly I could confirm that with OpenBSD (it has both boot options
in the installation image and it freezes on BIOS boot but successfully
initialize controller attaches USB devices on EFI boot). When I was
trying FreeBSD I was having EFI boot as well. The problem is that
NetBSD EFI boot fails before any log messages appear on the screen
(after loading the kernel system shows cursor in the upper edge of the
screen for some time and then just reboots). I would like to submit a
bug regarding this issue as well but it's hard to do it without having
any details on the failure itself...
To describe my findings in more details I probably should start from
the note that I have a laptop with the same controller I had a chance
to compare boot messages between Mac Mini and the laptop. The main
finding which pointed me to the problem that one of ECR values was
0x00000801 in mac mini instead of 0x00010801 in laptop (in xhci_ecp
function in xhci.c) which in turn makes bios_sem value 0, xHCI
controller never becomes owned by OS. Eventually xhci_op_write_4(sc,
XHCI_USBCMD, XHCI_CMD_INTE|XHCI_CMD_RS) execution freezes at the boot
process (some hardware specifics not to return error/timeout?). I even
tried to do set value to 1 on purpose when I have this ECR value and
NetBSD actually didn't freeze anymore on boot. uhub* devices still
ended up with "device problem, disabling port " messages but I
wouldn't be surprised if it is related. So I am not sure what can be a
solution here. It would be great to either detect this situation
somehow or at least timeout the operation and show warning instead.
Just hope this info will help to come up with some solution. Thank
you.
Regards,
Andrius V

It's hard to tell but likely yes. BIOS boot still freezes on the latest
kernel, but l am not sure if it's still for the same reason which was
related to xhci on BIOS boot only. I would need more time to investigate
and confirm. On another hand, unified installation image defaults to UEFI
boot currently, which boots properly. Thus, I am not sure if it's very
important bug to fix.

Hello,
I am receiving notifications about providing the feedback still. Is it
still something expected from me regarding this bug? In general, I believe
that bug can be closed even if BIOS boot still fails. Since setup image is
combined now, the issue should be much less relevant for new installations,
since efi boot will be chosen by the Mac itself.

Closed the PR because I can't boot with BIOS boot on this specific
device anymore (besides NetBSD, tried OpenBSD, Linux and FreeBSD).
Likely after certain upgrade support for it was removed. UEFI boot
still works, but it wasn't affected by the issue. Likely this bug may
still occur for non upgraded systems but even then uefi boot can be
used to avoid it.
