But unless I've misunderstood, that doesn't sound like a general problem with having one phy, but rather an integration issue on a specific system? Presumably in that case as long as the phy was brought up before poking the rest of the IP, the unit would function correctly. > > I even wrote a patch making USB3 PHY optional, but didn't push it > exactly because it broke some other systems and I can't guarantee users > won't mess up their DTS/pdata. Does that mean that their dts or pdata are wrong at the moment, but they're spared because the driver bails out due to a missing phy? If their pdata's wrong, that should be fixable relatively easily, but if the dt is wrong then I'm not sure how we can support those systems sensibly. That sounds like an ideal candidate for a dt quirks mechanism... > > > You can describe the USB2-only case in the dt by only listing the first > > phy (though the driver won't support it as it expects both to be > > present), but it's impossible to describe that you've wired up a single > > phy that's USB3 capable. > > you might be right there... Would it be possible to have something like (an optional) usb-phy-names? If not present, we assume the current situation, if present then we use it to figure out which phys are present. Maybe I'm missing something that makes that impossible?
