Using the hardware switch (218-4LPST) In this case, you can set USB_SW_SEL as input gpio, and use extcon-usb-gpio.c like before, just set this gpio as active low at dts. 2. Using USB_HS_ID as vbus-gpio (input), and USB_SW_SEL as id-gpio (output) I can't find hardware relationship between each other, maybe I miss something. This use case (design) seems strange, usually, we use ID pin controls vbus, but seldom use vbus pin control ID. How you would like to implement it? When the USB cable is connected (between PC), it receives vbus-gpio interrupt, then you set USB_SW_SEL as low? If disconnected, you set USB_SW_SEL as high? When the USB controller works at Host mode, what will happen if the user connects USB cable at device port? 3. Using sysfs to switch the role Set USB_SW_SEL according to "role" at debugfs Which one you would like to implement? Or anything else I miss? -- Best Regards, Peter Chen -- 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
