Since commit 0f0101719138 ("usb: dwc3: Don't switch OTG -> peripheral
if extcon is present") Dual Role support on Intel Merrifield platform
broke due to rearranging the call to dwc3_get_extcon().

It appears to be caused by ulpi_read_id() on the first test write failing
with -ETIMEDOUT. Currently ulpi_read_id() expects to discover the phy via
DT when the test write fails and returns 0 in that case, even if DT does not
provide the phy. As a result usb probe completes without phy.

Make ulpi_read_id() return -ETIMEDOUT to its user if the first test write
fails. The user should then handle it appropriately. A follow up patch
will make dwc3_core_init() set -EPROBE_DEFER in this case and bail out.

Hi,

this patch results in some qemu test failures, specifically xilinx-zynq-a9
machine and zynq-zc702 as well as zynq-zed devicetree files, when trying
to boot from USB drive. The log shows
I'm not familiar with that platform. Does it use dt to discover the ulpi
device?

The dt usb description includes

	usb_phy0: phy0 {
                  compatible = "usb-nop-xceiv";
                  #phy-cells = <0>;
          };

...

&usb0 {
          status = "okay";
          dr_mode = "host";
          usb-phy = <&usb_phy0>;
};

...

                  usb0: usb@e0002000 {
                          compatible = "xlnx,zynq-usb-2.20a", "chipidea,usb2";
                          status = "disabled";
                          clocks = <&clkc 28>;
                          interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
                          interrupts = <0 21 4>;
                          reg = <0xe0002000 0x1000>;
                          phy_type = "ulpi";
                  };

The chipidea core initialization code includes

          if (!platdata->phy_mode)
                  platdata->phy_mode = of_usb_get_phy_mode(dev->of_node);

Does that mean that every chipidea based usb implementation specifying
	phy_type = "ulpi";
in their devicetree description will now fail, plus maybe others
who determine the phy mode from devicetree ?
I don't think so.
I'm guessing that the problem is actually caused by "usb: ulpi: defer
ulpi_register on ulpi_read_id timeout".

Confused. Isn't that this patch ?
Ehem. Yes.
ulpi_read_id() now returns ETIMEDOUT due to the test write ulpi_write(ulpi,
ULPI_SCRATCH, 0xaa) failing.

Maybe  we can create a fix by skipping the test write in case dt discovery
is available and calling of_device_request_module() directly, instead of
masking the timed out test write as it was before?

I have no idea. All I can see is that it appears that there was a reason
for not returning an error if that test write failed.

It seems to have been a quick patch to solve a power sequencing issue:

"The ULPI bus code supports native enumeration by reading the
vendor ID and product ID registers at device creation time, but
we can't be certain that those register reads will succeed if the
phy is not powered up. To avoid any problems with reading the ID
registers before the phy is powered we fallback to DT matching
when the ID reads fail.

If the ULPI spec had some generic power sequencing for these
registers we could put that into the ULPI bus layer and power up
the device before reading the ID registers. Unfortunately this
doesn't exist and the power sequence is usually device specific.
By having the device matched up with DT we can avoid this
problem."

But as is, the code now requires a DT when there is a power
sequencing issue, which is wrong for Merrifield. It seems my patch
breaks the OF path, by replacing that by a deferred probe.

I'm thinking the correct way would be:
- if present use DT
- else if test write fails, defer probe
- else enumeration by reading the vendor ID and product ID registers


I think this patch should be reverted until a better solution is found.
After all, at this point it is effectively unknown if there are other
users (besides devicetree) depending on ulpi_read_id() returning 0 if
the communication with the device fails.

I don't see how any code could rely on not having DT and a timeout while attempting to enumerate and still expecting success (0). dwc3 in that case just assumes ulpi found and continues probe leading to non-functional dwc3 host.
I think a fix should be relatively simple to find and resolve 2 bads.
