If you change the dr_mode to host then you _must_ also remove any
id_det and vbus_det
gpio settings from the usb_phy node in the dts, as the sun4i phy
code
detects
host vs otg mode by checking for the presence of these.



Yes, this fixes it and makes it work. Thanks.

I've been going back to this and am wondering if this is something I
can
look into to fix properly? E.g. if the dts sets dr_mode = host, can
we
simply ignore the pins and treat them as unset?




AFAIK you cannot unset something in dts. The only solution I
can comeup with is to add a dr_mode argument to the phy like
we already have for the otg controller itself.

This is something which we likely need to do anyways to add
support for peripheral only mode, which we seem to need for
some "hdmi sticks".




I haven't really followed the rest of the discussion, so sorry if you
already talked about that, but why can't you just set the dr_mode to
peripheral in such a case?




This is about the usbphy code not the musb-controller code, which are
2 different dts nodes, atm only the musb-controller node has a
dr_mode property, and the phy code decides between host-only
and otg mode based on whether an id pin is assigned or not.

My proposal is to get rid of the id-pin hack to determine the mode
and add a dr_mode property to the usbphy dts node.



I would try to avoid adding dr_mode in the usbphy node if possible,
since it is already specified in the controller node.

Since the phy node is referenced in the controller node, is it
possible that the phy driver looks up the controller of properties to
find its dr_mode setting?



That is possible, but it very much goes against how devicetree normally
works, where every node is more or less a standalone unit which
contains enough info for the associated driver to do its work.


I guess you are right, but duplicating dr_mode would cause more
trouble for end user.


The user already needs to set up regulators, vbus-det and id-det
for otg mode in the usbphy node. Although there are 2 nodes in dts /
2 separate hardware blocks involved in reality the 2 are closely
related and the user already must take care to have the settings match.

Besides that writing dts files is not something which end users do,
so a normal user will never see this.

Felipe, could you please give your comments on this issue? I have to
do the similar change for musb_dsps.


Currently there is no link from the phy node to the controller node
(only the other way around) and adding such a link requires more code
then simple having a duplicate dr_mode.


I guess I did not make my previous comment clearly, we don't need to
add the link from the phy node to the controller node. We don't need
to change the current dts, just in the phy driver to look up dr_mode
of the controller node, if possible.


And how does the phy code now where the controller node lives without
having a link to it in its node? Hardcode the full path to the
controller node ? That is both ugly and error prone.

This is my first time looking at dts handling in drivers, so I might
be completely wrong, but I am thinking that since the controller node
links to the phy node, so the controller node is the parent of the phy
node, so if there is an of api can look it up?

If the phy is a child of the controller, then yes this would work,
but in the case of sunxi the phy is a built-in mmio mapped peripheral
just like the controller, so they sit at the same level and have no
parent child relation.

Regards,

Hans
