[PATCH] USB: Remove Wireless USB and UWB documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Support for Wireless USB and Ultra WideBand was removed in 2020 by
commit caa6772db4c1 ("Staging: remove wusbcore and UWB from the kernel
tree.").  But the documentation files were left behind.

Let's get rid of that out-of-date documentation.

-Description:
-                Various files for managing Cable Based Association of
-                (wireless) USB devices.
-
-                The sequence of operations should be:
-
-                1. Device is plugged in.
-
-                2. The connection manager (CM) sees a device with CBA capability.
-                   (the wusb_chid etc. files in /sys/devices/blah/OURDEVICE).
-
-                3. The CM writes the host name, supported band groups,
-                   and the CHID (host ID) into the wusb_host_name,
-                   wusb_host_band_groups and wusb_chid files. These
-                   get sent to the device and the CDID (if any) for
-                   this host is requested.
-
-                4. The CM can verify that the device's supported band
-                   groups (wusb_device_band_groups) are compatible
-                   with the host.
-
-                5. The CM reads the wusb_cdid file.
-
-                6. The CM looks it up its database.
-
-                   - If it has a matching CHID,CDID entry, the device
-                     has been authorized before and nothing further
-                     needs to be done.
-
-                   - If the CDID is zero (or the CM doesn't find a
-                     matching CDID in its database), the device is
-                     assumed to be not known.  The CM may associate
-                     the host with device by: writing a randomly
-                     generated CDID to wusb_cdid and then a random CK
-                     to wusb_ck (this uploads the new CC to the
-                     device).
-
-                     CMD may choose to prompt the user before
-                     associating with a new device.
-
-                7. Device is unplugged.

-                specification.
-
-                Since this relates to security (specifically, the
-                lifetime of PTKs and GTKs) it should not be changed
-                from the default.

-What:           /sys/class/uwb_rc/uwb<N>/wusbhc/wusb_phy_rate
-Date:           August 2009
-KernelVersion:  2.6.32
-Contact:        David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxx>
-Description:
-                The maximum PHY rate to use for all connected devices.
-                This is only of limited use for testing and
-                development as the hardware's automatic rate
-                adaptation is better then this simple control.
-
-                Refer to [ECMA-368] section 10.3.1.1 for the value to
-                use.

-What:           /sys/class/uwb_rc/uwb<N>/wusbhc/wusb_dnts
-Date:           June 2013
-KernelVersion:  3.11
-Contact:        Thomas Pugliese <thomas.pugliese@xxxxxxxxx>
-Description:
-                The device notification time slot (DNTS) count and inverval in
-                milliseconds that the WUSB host should use.  This controls how
-                often the devices will have the opportunity to send
-                notifications to the host.

-What:           /sys/class/uwb_rc/uwb<N>/wusbhc/wusb_retry_count
-Date:           June 2013
-KernelVersion:  3.11
-Contact:        Thomas Pugliese <thomas.pugliese@xxxxxxxxx>
-Description:
-                The number of retries that the WUSB host should attempt
-                before reporting an error for a bus transaction.  The range of
-                valid values is [0..15], where 0 indicates infinite retries.
