can be used from Exynos5 to Exynos9.

NACK because you ignored comments from March. Please respond to them instead
of resending the same patch.

Anyway, when resending you need to version your patches and explain the
differences. Please also Cc reviewers and other maintainers. I pointed out
this before:
scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-exynos.c

The driver - in current form - should not be available for other
architectures. It would clutter other platforms and kernel config selection.
If you want to change this, you need to provide rationale (usually by adding
support to new non-Exynos platform).

Best regards,
Krzysztof


Sorry for not answering the comments previously. I was confused with the policy.
I couldn't use 'USB_DWC3_EXYNOS' when 'ARCH_EXYNOS' was not defined. That's why
I changed 'ARCH_EXYNOS' to 'USB_DWC3'. I modified changelog text from previous
commit. I saw some more discussion was done about 'ARCH_XX'. I will wait for
the decision.

You removed most of other people from Cc-list, except Felipe and USB list. Don't. Reply to all of us.

You need to start working with upstream, otherwise your needs or use case won't be easy to understand. So far, for the mainline kernel there is no need to yse USB_DWC3_EXYNOS outside of ARCH_EXYNOS. There is no Exynos9 support. Start sending patches for these instead of customizing mainline to out-of-tree non-upstreamed kernel.

Mostly we follow the rule - if it is not in upstream, it does not exist. DTSes are exceptions. But your downstream work is not a reason to tweak upstream without any explanations.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
