No matter I used the 'defconfig + devtmpfs' approach or I used the 'host

For USB devices, there are two ways to do this when not using initramfs:

Inside the kernel source tree's Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt:

rootdelay=
rootwait=

Those are two options you can use. 5 seconds is usually good for rootdelay.

So you could pass rootdelay=5 to the kernel when using usb devices.

rootwait will wait indefinitely.
