[RFC PATCH 0/2] Defer HCD init until the external PHY, bound to the HCD is ready

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

 



This adds remove_phy flag to the HCD structure. If the flag is
set and if hcd->phy is valid, the phy is shutdown and released
whenever usb_add_hcd fails or usb_hcd_remove is called.
This also adds CONFIG_USB_HCD_EXTERNAL_PHY option that allows
the HCD driver to search for a USB phy, bound to the HCD,
when the HC is being added.

If the USB PHY is found, it is initialized and the remove_phy flag
is set. In case PHY is not ready, the usb_add_hcd function returns
the -EPROBE_DEFER error code which defers HCD probing till the PHY
becomes ready.
If no PHY is bound to the HCD, or it has been initialized by
the low-level driver before calling usb_add_hcd(), the HCD is
added as usual.

This approach can be used to initialize the external PHY for
the R-Car PCI USB hosts, that share USB ports with USBHS/USBSS devices.
All we need to do is to make R-Car Gen2 platform code bind the
Gen2 USB phy device to the PCI HC devices, and make the phy-rcar-gen2-usb
driver register USB phy with usb_add_phy_dev() AOT usb_add_phy() callback.
