[PATCH v2 0/7] usb: dwc3: qcom: Flatten dwc3 structure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The USB IP-block found in most Qualcomm platforms is modelled in the
Linux kernel as 3 different independent device drivers, but as shown by
the already existing layering violations in the Qualcomm glue driver
they can not be operated independently.

With the current implementation, the glue driver registers the core and
has no way to know when this is done. As a result, e.g. the suspend
callbacks needs to guard against NULL pointer dereferences when trying
to peek into the struct dwc3 found in the drvdata of the child.

Missing from the upstream Qualcomm USB support is handling of role
switching, in which the glue needs to be notified upon DRD mode changes.
Several attempts has been made through the years to register callbacks
etc, but they always fall short when it comes to handling of the core's
probe deferral on resources etc.

Furhtermore, the DeviceTree binding is a direct representation of the
Linux driver model, and doesn't necessarily describe "the USB IP-block".

This series therefor attempts to flatten the driver split, and operate
the glue and core out of the same platform_device instance. And in order
to do this, the DeviceTree representation of the IP block is flattened.

Changes in v2:
- Rewrite after ACPI removal, multiport support and interrupt fixes
- Completely changed strategy for DeviceTree binding, as previous idea
  of using snps,dwc3 as a generic fallback required unreasonable changes
  to that binding.
- Abandoned idea of supporting both flattened and unflattened device
  model in the one driver. As Johan pointed out, it will leave the race
  condition holes and will make the code harder to understand.
  Furthermore, the role switching logic that we intend to introduce
  following this would have depended on the user updating their
  DeviceTree blobs.
- Per above, introduced the dynamic DeviceTree rewrite
