Hi All,
I have been debugging an issue with a 2-in-1 which
consists of a tablet + a kbd-dock, where the device
turns into a clamshell when docked into the kbd-dock.
The kbd dock is connected via pogo-pins. This works
fine when docked at boot. But there is an enumeration
issue when hot-docked (and the keyboard looses power
when the lid is closedm so this also triggers after
a suspend/resume):
[ 3498.924190] usb 1-3: new full-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd

[ 3515.603614] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: ITE Tech. Inc.
Note there is about 6 seconds before the keyboard becomes
usable, which is quite long when trying to unlock the
laptop after opening the lid.
If I set the USB_PORT_QUIRK_OLD_SCHEME on the port used by the kbd-dock:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:14.0/usb1/1-0\:1.0/usb1-port3/quirks
Then this changes to:
[ 4467.875008] usb 1-3: new full-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd
[ 4467.878483] usb 1-3: Device not responding to setup address.

[ 4468.662461] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: ITE Tech. Inc.
Which is a lot better wrt making the keyboard available for
use in a timely manner.
So now I'm looking into a way to automatically do this. I would
prefer to keep the handling of this out of the kernel, so I looked into
udev, but it seems that the usb_port_device_type device-s registered by
usb_hub_create_port_device() are not visible to udev?
At least I'm not seeing them, in the output of "udevadm info -e"
My impression is that fixing this would be the simplest approach.
I agree that first trying to fix it is a good idea.
Note another option would be to set the global old_scheme_first kernel
cmdline parameter on this 2-in-1. That can be done with a simple
dmi_system_id table on which to do this, but adding such a table
seems undesirable.
A third option I guess would be to try and improve the probe time
of the kbd-dock under the new scheme.
Have you tried decreasing the initial_descriptor_timeout module
parameter for usbcore? That would probably help, but it's kind of a
sledgehammer.
So I tried this:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/initial_descriptor_timeout
1000
But it does not really seem to help:
