If Well, I'm just providing the on/off switch on Toshiba specific hardware, but I'm unaware/unfamiliar with how other vendors implement this feature. > possible we would like to have a generic interface for this, > which should not depend on the specific platform in use and would > have to be per bus or even per port (for example the ports on a > Thunderbolt dock would not work with your module). Sounds good, as not all ports carry such functionality, on my current laptop only two ports provide this, the other two are just normal USB 2/3 ports (configurable ;-) ). > Do you think we could provide a hook from generic code into > platform code to detect the capability for power control? If there's an existing API already, I'll be glad to modify the code to use it, if it doesn't exist yet, I'll simply adapt the code to the chosen standard whenever becomes available. > > Regards > Oliver > > > Cheers Azael -- -- El mundo apesta y vosotros apestais tambien -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
