That will not work AT ALL for systems that build a generic kernel for multiple devices (i.e. Android kernels), so please make this a runtime determination based on the hardware capabilities. > > If you know this is needed for a specific type of device, detect it > > and make the change then, otherwise this could break working systems, > > right? > > According to the information provided by Dragan Čečavac, this function > (select whether to enable over-current detection through the otgctl > register) don't seem to be available for all dwc2 controllers, so it > might make sense to add MACH_INGENIC dependency to > USB_DWC2_DISABLE_VOD, which could provide additional protection from > unwanted usage. Again, make this dynamic and only happen for devices that know it will work on, based on some hardware information (device type of DT value). Do not make this happen based on a Kconfig option. thanks, greg k-h
