I mean one file is just a common udc driver for all Synopsys, not all usb file. For ehci, I think it will be easier to use single file as well as some specific SoC's quirks if needed. For udc, as there is no standard spec for how usb device should be designed, maybe different Synopsys IPs have a little different for work flow. For otg, it should be not difficult after we split PHY's operation from the otg, as common otg operation is the same. > > >can try combine similar IP versions to one file, this work may need all Synopsys > >USB IP driver maintainer work together. > > Exactly.

I think first we should find which driver file at current code base is most capable and compatible.
