Hi, Ideally after this there should be no need to add any new USB Power Delivery specific attribute files directly to the USB Type-C devices in sysfs. They now have their own directory. The idea of the series is that any device (so not just USB Type-C connectors and the partners attached to them) that supports USB Power Delivery can have this separate sub-directory "usb_power_delivery" in sysfs, and that sub-directory will have all the USB Power Delivery objects and all the other USB Power Delivery details. There are already ways that allow us to read the USB Power Delivery capabilities from potentially any USB PD capable USB device attached to the bus - one way is defined in the USB Type-C Bridge Specification. Initially the Capability Messages (i.e. PDOs) are exposed. This is an example (tree view) of the capabilities that the ports on a normal x86 system advertise to the partner. First you have the message directory (source_capabilities and sink_capabilities), and that will have a sub-directory for each PDO that capability message has. The PDO sub-directories are named by their type. The number in front of the name is the object position of the PDO: /sys/class/typec/port0/usb_power_delivery |-- revision |-- sink_capabilities/ | |-- 1:fixed_supply/ | | |-- dual_role_data | | |-- dual_role_power | | |-- fast_role_swap_current | | |-- operational_current | | |-- unchunked_extended_messages_supported | | |-- unconstrained_power | | |-- usb_communication_capable | | |-- usb_suspend_supported | | `-- voltage | |-- 2:variable_supply/ | | |-- maximum_voltage | | |-- minimum_voltage | | `-- operational_current | `-- 3:battery/ | |-- maximum_voltage | |-- minimum_voltage | `-- operational_power `-- source_capabilities/ `-- 1:fixed_supply/ |-- dual_role_data |-- dual_role_power |-- maximum_current |-- unchunked_extended_messages_supported |-- unconstrained_power |-- usb_communication_capable |-- usb_suspend_supported `-- voltage And these are the capabilities of my Thunderbolt3 dock: /sys/class/typec/port0-partner/usb_power_delivery |-- revision |-- sink_capabilities/ | `-- 1:fixed_supply/ | |-- dual_role_data | |-- dual_role_power | |-- fast_role_swap_current | |-- operational_current | |-- unchunked_extended_messages_supported | |-- unconstrained_power | |-- usb_communication_capable | |-- usb_suspend_supported | `-- voltage `-- source_capabilities/ |-- 1:fixed_supply/ | |-- dual_role_data | |-- dual_role_power | |-- maximum_current | |-- unchunked_extended_messages_supported | |-- unconstrained_power | |-- usb_communication_capable | |-- usb_suspend_supported | `-- voltage |-- 2:fixed_supply/ | |-- maximum_current | `-- voltage |-- 3:fixed_supply/ | |-- maximum_current | `-- voltage |-- 4:fixed_supply/ | |-- maximum_current | `-- voltage `-- 5:fixed_supply/ |-- maximum_current `-- voltage thanks, Heikki Krogerus (3): usb: typec: Separate USB Power Delivery from USB Type-C usb: typec: Functions for USB PD capabilities registration usb: typec: ucsi: Register USB Power Delivery Capabilities Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-typec | 22 + .../testing/sysfs-devices-usb_power_delivery | 273 ++++++++ drivers/usb/typec/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/usb/typec/class.c | 328 +++++++++ drivers/usb/typec/class.h | 8 + drivers/usb/typec/pd.c | 651 ++++++++++++++++++ drivers/usb/typec/pd.h | 39 ++ drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/ucsi.c | 128 +++- drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/ucsi.h | 8 + include/linux/usb/pd.h | 30 + include/linux/usb/typec.h | 25 + 11 files changed, 1502 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-usb_power_delivery create mode 100644 drivers/usb/typec/pd.c create mode 100644 drivers/usb/typec/pd.h -- 2.34.1
