Hi,
See USB_SERIAL_DEBUG in drivers/usb/serial/.
That symbol builds usb_debug.c in that same directory.

It may help to read Documentation/x86/earlyprintk.rst.

My own cheat sheet (quick reference) says this: (it may or
may not help you) (it might need some updating for XHCI):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using USB debug port (on a USB EHCI controller)

On the system under test:

CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y

kernel command line:
	earlyprintk=dbgpN,keep

With an XHCI controller, use:
	earlyprintk=xdbcN,keep

Also add:
	console=tty0
or	console=ttyUSB0
for console output to go to the serial port.

Make sure that USB_SERIAL=y, USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y,
and USB_SERIAL_DEBUG=y.

------
On the logging system:
(requires CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_DEBUG=y)

Run minicom and tell it to connect to /dev/ttyUSB#.
Optionally have it log all messages to a file.
