Re: [RFC PATCH] usb/acpi: Add support usb port power off mechanism for device fixed on the motherboard

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

 



Since alan suggested we should start simpler version(power
down port that have no devices attached) firstly. And we
also should provide general power off mechanism.

I have a proposal.
first:  add portx_power_control sys file.
     echo "auto" => portx_power_control
                    check whether there is a device. if no, send the clear
                    USB_PORT_FEAT_POWER request. (since general way
                    to control port power is via set or clear PORT_POWER)

    echo "on" =>  portx_power_control
                    send the set  USB_PORT_FEAT_POWER request.

second:
In the  xhci driver, add acpi hook in the xhci_hub_control()
                where USB_PORT_FEAT_POWER request is dealt with.
