It was mentioned here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-driver-devel&m=137028052222213&w=2 At the time, I thought octeon-usb was "more mature": "octeon-hcd was written because we couldn't figure out how to fix the dwc2 driver so that it wouldn't crash." > As the dwc2 code seems to be the "more mature" codebase, any objection > to me deleting the octeon-usb driver? If it's possible to get it working on Octeon HW, then having a single driver is of course the best solution. Is dwc2 fully functional (there is no TODO file)? I'll check if I get it working, otherwise I'll be disappointed if octeon-usb is deleted and I need to carry an out-of-tree driver to use my board. :-) > Aaro, as there is no MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() set up for the octeon-usb > code, and your module_init() function where you grab the hardware is, > let's just say, "odd"[1], it's really hard to determine what hardware > platforms this code even runs on. Any hints? The driver is only buildable for OCTEON SoC, and the function cvmx_usb_get_num_ports() knows each SoC version if they have the USB block or not.
