Greetings,
I am currently trying to port OpenWRT to Ubiquiti's EdgeRouter 4 which
is a Cavium Octeon 7130. While investigating to support XHCI (the
device has a single USB3 port), I ran into the dwc3 driver which
apparently supports that very chipset via the dwc3-of-simple glue.
Looking at Ubiquiti's own firmware, it seems they are using a modified
version of the standard xhci-platform driver.
So now I am faced with two different approaches:
1- Attempt to replicate Ubiquiti's modifications to xhci-plat.
2- Switch to dwc3-of-simple.
With option 1, so far, I can get xhci to load by merely adding a
'.compatible =' member to usb_xhci_of_match[], but the driver complains
about LPM algorithms and disables LPM (which may be fine, I don't know
if it is even supported on this device).
Option 2 (where you might hopefully help), potentially involves more
modification to the OpenWRT since their Octeon kernel config does not
appear to enable CONFIG_COMMON_CLK, which the driver depends on. And I
do not know if I should also disable standard ohci and ehci drivers once
I manage to enable the USB_DWC3_OF_SIMPLE.
I'm looking for recommendations on the best approach. Keep in mind that
while I can cobble together some ugly but functional hacks, I am not an
experienced kernel dev.
