The topic is about more than one otg controllers and how to tie the right ehci and ohci to the correct otg_dev instance especially in cases where we can't depend on probe order. > Or, does this topic assume an otg controller handles 2 EHCI controllers? > I'm not sure such environment actually exists.

I think OTG core would have to rely on USB core in providing the right companion device, just like we rely on it for the primary vs shared HCD case. cheers, -roger -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
