So a quick look on upstream lists it doesn't look like USB [1] or
either of the PCI controllers [2][3], there's two different ones, have
yet made it upstream as yet. so ATM without a custom kernel I wouldn't
expect it to work for either USB or NVME storage.

The patch set for the USB support isn't upstream yet and it'll only
support the upper USB3 port until they land another driver. On the
plus side it looks like both the pcie patch sets are headed towards
the 6.6 merge window.

Looking at upstream DTs for the Rock5B it looks like it's just the
mSD/eMMC storage that's enabled as of 6.5-rc4, it doesn't look like
even the ethernet works.

I think out of the box we probably won't be usable until F-40 for this
device. I have seen a lot posted upstream, it seems a lot of that
hasn't actually landed yet though.
