This patch adds a "gadget" bus and uses it for registering gadgets and their drivers. From now on, bindings will be managed by the driver core rather than through ad-hoc manipulations in the UDC core. As part of this change, the driver_pending_list is removed. The UDC core won't need to keep track of unbound drivers for later binding, because the driver core handles all of that for us. However, we do need one new feature: a way to prevent gadget drivers from being bound to more than one gadget at a time. The existing code does this automatically, but the driver core doesn't -- it's perfectly happy to bind a single driver to all the matching devices on the bus. The patch adds a new bitflag to the usb_gadget_driver structure for this purpose. A nice side effect of this change is a reduction in the total lines of code, since now the driver core will do part of the work that the UDC used to do. A possible future patch could add udc devices to the gadget bus, say as a separate device type. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Thanks for your patch, which is now commit fc274c1e997314bf ("USB: gadget: Add a new bus for gadgets") in usb-next. This patch cause a regression on the Renesas Salvator-XS development board, as R-Car H3 has multiple USB gadget devices: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/gadget/devices/gadget' CPU: 2 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.18.0-rc1-arm64-renesas-00074-gfc274c1e9973 #1587 Hardware name: Renesas Salvator-X 2nd version board based on r8a77951 (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace+0xcc/0xd8 show_stack+0x14/0x30 dump_stack_lvl+0x88/0xb0 dump_stack+0x14/0x2c sysfs_warn_dup+0x60/0x78 sysfs_do_create_link_sd.isra.0+0xe4/0xf0 sysfs_create_link+0x20/0x40 bus_add_device+0x64/0x110 device_add+0x31c/0x850 usb_add_gadget+0x124/0x1a0 usb_add_gadget_udc_release+0x1c/0x50 usb_add_gadget_udc+0x10/0x18 renesas_usb3_probe+0x450/0x728 platform_probe+0x64/0xd0 really_probe+0x100/0x2a0 __driver_probe_device+0x74/0xd8 driver_probe_device+0x3c/0xe0 __driver_attach+0x80/0x110 bus_for_each_dev+0x6c/0xc0 driver_attach+0x20/0x28 bus_add_driver+0x138/0x1e0 driver_register+0x60/0x110 __platform_driver_register+0x24/0x30 renesas_usb3_driver_init+0x18/0x20 do_one_initcall+0x15c/0x31c kernel_init_freeable+0x2f0/0x354 kernel_init+0x20/0x120 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 renesas_usb3: probe of ee020000.usb failed with error -17 ... renesas_usbhs: probe of e6590000.usb failed with error -17 After boot-up, only one gadget device is visible: root@h3-salvator-xs:~# ls -l /sys/bus/gadget/devices/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 14 2019 gadget -> ../../../devices/platform/soc/e659c000.usb/gadget root@h3-salvator-xs:~# Reverting this patch fixes the issue.
