Yes, it is. > if so, how driver decide to use which hcd when Super/Non-Super speed > devices plug in? Simple: When a SuperSpeed device plugs in, the driver uses the SuperSpeed hcd. When a non-SuperSpeed device plugs in, the driver uses the non-SuperSpeed hcd. :-) > If we are doing hibernate for example, why we still need to put > bus/controller suspend? > it should be fine if we just reset it and re-initialize it when > hibernate happen. > After all, OS is power down in hibernate, right? Remember, it's possible that the hibernate transition might fail. If it does fail, we want the controller to return to the same state it had before, not to be reset.
