[RFC] EHCI otg support - how to proceed?

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

 



I knew that a ehci controller is often combined with a gadget controller
to get otg support. What I didn't know is that it's always the same
gadget controller. Currently we have not less than 4 drivers for the
same hardware in the tree:

langwell_udc.c
mv_udc_core.c
ci13xxx_udc.c
fsl_udc_core.c

On i.MX we are using fsl_udc_core.c and ehci host support, but we do not
have otg support. In a test not many patches were necessary to use the
msm otg support on i.MX.  Even the ULPI support which I considered i.MX
specific is found on at least marvell chips and msm chips.

Altogether there seems to be enough room for merging code. Unfortunately
I won't have much time to work on this, so I'd like to ask if anyone
else is interested in joining forces to get some cleanup done.

At least I think we should pick one of the drivers above, sort the
architecture specfic part out and rename it to something like ehci_udc.c
to prevent people from adding even more drivers to the tree. The
ci13xxx_udc driver looks most promising to me as it already has otg
support in drivers/usb/otg/msm72k_otg.c and has proven to work on i.MX
aswell.  Also it has pci support. Originally it was posted for mips, so
it probably works there, too

Any comments/ideas?
