Hi all,

We have hsic hub embedded on SOC to expose multiple downstream ports

hub to change the default configuration in addition
What is a "HSIC" hub?
HSIC (High speed Inter Connect) hub is a standard SMSC hub that works on the HSIC bus. This Hub can be controlled using the I2C bus. We are adding support for controlling the hub using the I2C and we are looking for the placement of this driver.

to enabling required regulators and clocks. This driver is closely
coupled with hsic host controller driver. This driver doesn’t
implement any protocol or spec class. Thinking of two options where
we can add this driver in the kernel folder.

1. Drivers/platform/msm folder

2. Drivers/usb/host folder.
Don't put stuff in the platform directory, if at all possible.  Is this
a USB host controller driver?  If so, it should be in drivers/usb/host/

thanks,

greg k-h
