USB-PHY: type-C power role ??

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

 



Hi,

With the advent of USB PD over type-C connector, the data_roles and
the power_roles can be swapped independently. i.e. now the host for
the data need not have to be powering VBUS. Going through the phy
code(drivers/usb/phy/phy.c) makes me think that the phy layer assumes
that both the DATA_ROLE and the HOST_ROLE are tied together. Will it
make sense add support in the phy layer to track the power_roles
separately?? Is this something reasonable that can be added to the PHY
layer ?

Thanks,
Badhri.
