Serdev: USB device and sysdev probing ala i2c

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

 



Hi

I have a flash controller connected to the main computer via a usb to
serial. My plan is to expose it to the system as a video4linux subdevice.

With the inclusion of serdev I was expecting that it would be as easy as
adding a i2c device, but seems that there are some functionality that it is
still not implemented:

1) Serdev for usb serial devices.

2) Instatiating via sysfs. Something like
echo hci_nokia > /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio0/new_device
(inspired in: echo eeprom 0x50 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-3/new_device)

3) Support for probing: Like hwmon for i2c

-Are these two things in the drawing board?
-if not, would it be something worth considering/reviewing for upstream?

Cheers!
