If you look at '[PATCH 2/2] USB: Add HCD for Octeon SOC', you will see
that it has the hcd support. I have omitted pcd support from this set,
as I am working towards getting hcd mergable first.
As for endian issues, the current Octeon support in the kernel is for
big-endian only, so since the usb hardware is on the same chip as the
CPU, endian safety is not currently an issue. I have heard rumors that
some ralink and PPC variants have the same controller, but I have no way
of confirming this or even testing the code as I don't have that
hardware.
Yes, this Synopsys USB-OTG core is also integrated in some AMCC (Applied
Micro) PowerPC's (e.g. PPC405EX and PPC460EX). So we should try to make this
driver usable by those platforms as well. But this could be done in a later
step.
I can only refer you to '[PATCH 2/2] USB: Add HCD for Octeon SOC'
(unfortunately eaten by linux-usb but available in the linux-mips
archives), The target specific code is all in dwc_otg_octeon.c. The
rest should be target independent. My expectation is that, much as the
ohci and ehci drivers have target specific code spilt out, we would do
the same with dwc_otg.
David, on which Synopsys driver version did you base your driver? The latest
version available is 2.90a IIRC.
It has this annotation:
"2.40a 10-APR-2006"
We have made local bug fixes though.
Cheers,
Stefan
