What about higher speeds (not relevant on PXA, but ep_matches() is called from usb_ep_autoconfig_ss() )? According to http://wiki.osdev.org/Universal_Serial_Bus#Maximum_Data_Payload_Size_2 High speed INT endpoint has a maximum data payload 1024 B and BULK only 512 B (are other attributes of the data phase similar?).

I have changed definition of ISO to BULK only to accomplish minimal change of driver code (for my demonstration free BULK must be defined before INT - inserting new EP would require to reindex all next EPs and modifying links from PXA side endpoints).

Hmm, making BULK EP equivalent with INT EP (when INT is requested) would made debugging (there is special bitfield in the config registers) and configuration preset (not anymore unordered set, but definition in the specific sequence) hell. But in other ways it can be OK (specification does not say that using EP marked INT as BULK will fail). > >> g_serial later disables INT notification >> >> [ 4259.609871] g_serial gadget: acm ttyGS0 can't notify serial state, -22 >> >> So this function is waiting regression, all it takes is just one >> change into the PXA27x EP configuration or change of allocation order >> for endpoints in a gadget.

It would eliminate codes for superspeed checking on SoC which known only fullspeed ;-). P.S. I did a basic research where UDCs differ between BULK and INT handling (just searching for usb_endpoint_type(), USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_* and usb_endpoint_xfer_*() so it returned BULK on a software side - irrelevant): r8a66597-udc.c (using different constants, dedicated structure entries) m66592-udc.c (same as r8a66597-udc.c) dummy_hcd.c (well it is only dummy, says "bulk is OK" for INT, but has different matching rules for HS BULK and INT) atmel_usba_udc.c (only by write of some flag) net2272.c (fails with BULK, USB_SPEED_HIGH and maxpacket != 512) at91_udc.c (only BULK is only OK with 8,16,32,64 values) pxa25x_udc.c (setting one flag when hw (?) endpoint is BULK and another if nonBULK, INT FIFO size defined as 8, BULK FIFO as 64) net2280.c (INT path has erratum, different maxpacket matching) pxa27x_udc.h (INT_FIFO_SIZE defined as 16B, BULK_FIFO_SIZE defined as 64B) mv_udc_core.c (different codepath) gr_udc.c (using mode of endpoint to print messages and register setting) fsl_qe_udc.c (different maxpacket sizes for highspeed) udc-xilinx.c (maching of different maxpacket sizes) omap_udc.c (maxpacket size definitions) > > Alan Stern > Petr Cvek -- 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
