Once this is complete, the CPU should return to a lower amount as The reset function at drivers/usb/chipidea/core.c has the following: int hw_device_reset(struct ci_hdrc *ci, u32 mode) { /* should flush & stop before reset */ hw_write(ci, OP_ENDPTFLUSH, ~0, ~0); hw_write(ci, OP_USBCMD, USBCMD_RS, 0); hw_write(ci, OP_USBCMD, USBCMD_RST, USBCMD_RST); while (hw_read(ci, OP_USBCMD, USBCMD_RST)) udelay(10); /* not RTOS friendly */ Maybe this udelay is impacting your performance? It seems that this should be rewritten to avoid the busy loop. -- 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
