[PATCH 0/2] uas: Add the ability to force using usb-storage

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

 



Hi All,

Here are 2 more patches on top of my patch set of 7 from yesterday. These
add an (empty for now) blacklist, as well as a kernel cmdline option, to
force using usb-storage with devices which advertise uas support so that
we can work around buggy uas devices.

Working on this has also led to me having some questions about uas:

1) The driver has a prototype class id in there, as well as code for
dealing with a device with a fixed ep config. I'm tending towards removing
both. Does any of you know if these are for one and the same device ?

I really believe we should fail the driver probe if the endpoint descriptors
are wrong, rather then assume a fixed config. We could add the fixed config
as a quirk, but we should not blindly use it for all devices with broken
descriptors.

2) Sarah, you asked me to become maintainer for uas, that is fine, I'll
do a MAINTAINERS patch, should I leave you and Matthew as maintainers, or
shall I remove the both of you ?

Regards,

Hans
