After looking at the code it seems we don't need this special binding as we are already linking the EHCI controller and companion controller to the single otg controller instance using the otg-controller property. So all is good as of now. For non DT case, it is the responsibility of platform support code to ensure that it calls usb_otg_add_hcd() with the correct otg controller instance for both EHCI and companion controller and things should work fine there as well. -- cheers, -roger > > R-Car Gen3 SoC (r8a7795 / arm64) will be this type. > (Both USB 2.0 host/function controllers connect to AXI bus.) > >> Any objections? > > I don't have any objections because I'm just focus on R-Car Gen3 SoC for now. > If someone needs for PCI case, I think it is possible to add such a code somehow later. > > Best regards, > Yoshihiro Shimoda > >> 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
