TLL ( /drivers/mfd/omap-usb-host.c ) 3. ehci ( /drivers/usb/host/ehci-omap.c) - platform driver 4. ohci ( /drivers/usb/host/ohci-omap3.c ) - platform drivers The 3 platform drivers exists to make the ehci/ohci functional. The UHH-TLL or usb host core driver is the parent platform driver of ehci and ohci. This parent driver doe the clock enable/disable which common for both ehci and ohci. takes care of common port setting and clocks during suspend and resume and ensures that there is no overwrites by ehci and ohci platform drivers. The commit id 354ab8567ae3107a8cbe7228c3181990ba598aac titled "Fix OMAP EHCI suspend/resume failure (i693)" was handling the clocks in the ehci driver it self, instead it should be handled by usb host core driver as per above explanation. so, the UHH-TLL Driver should handle the changes done by 354ab8567ae3107a8cbe7228c3181990ba598aac. hence this patch removes the changed done by the commit id 354ab8567ae3107a8cbe7228c3181990ba598aac suppose if this patch is not included, then it will cause the following two problems 1. crash during the system boot - observed in beagle xm , with NFS file system the Ethernet is through ehci driver , since the ehci ports clocks are not handled properly by this commit id 354ab8567ae3107a8cbe7228c3181990ba598aac, it leads to crash 2. crash during suspend/resume - observed in beagle xm with ram fs if the ehci is driver is included and if it tries to suspend it leads to crash regards keshava -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
