With the upcoming release of Windows 11, Microsoft has introduced a new USB
Device-Specific Method (_DSM) function to enforce 64-bit xHCI registers to
be accessed through two sequential 32-bit requests. The new function (Query
controller register access type - Function 6) is documented at:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/bringup/usb-device-specific-method---dsm-
Support for this feature is required on the raspberry Pi 4 where there is
a bug/limitation in the xHCI stack that prevents full range 64-bit access
from working correctly. It should be noted that an equivalent for this _DSM
is not required on Linux, as 64-bit xHCI register access is already broken
down into 2x32-bit by the drivers there.
With this _DSM, and unlike what is the case for Windows 10, Windows 11 can
now be installed on the Raspberry Pi 4 without having to alter any of the
installation files, as we were able to validate using the latest Windows 11
Build 22000 Insider image.
