Pull USB updates from Greg KH: "Here's the big set of USB and PHY patches for 3.19-rc1. The normal churn in the USB gadget area is in here, as well as xhci and other individual USB driver updates. The PHY tree is also in here, as there were dependancies on the USB tree. All of these have been in linux-next" * tag 'usb-3.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb: (351 commits) arm: omap3: twl: remove usb phy init data usbip: fix error handling in stub_probe() usb: gadget: udc: missing curly braces USB: mos7720: delete some unneeded code wusb: replace memset by memzero_explicit usbip: remove unneeded structure usb: xhci: fix comment for PORT_DEV_REMOVE xhci: don't use the same variable for stopped and halted rings current TD xhci: clear extra bits from slot context when setting max exit latency xhci: cleanup finish_td function USB: adutux: NULL dereferences on disconnect usb: chipidea: fix platform_no_drv_owner.cocci warnings usb: chipidea: Fixed a few typos in comments Documentation: bindings: add doc for the USB2 ChipIdea USB driver usb: chipidea: add a usb2 driver for ci13xxx usb: chipidea: fix phy handling usb: chipidea: remove duplicate dev_set_drvdata for host_start usb: chipidea: parameter 'mode' isn't needed for hw_device_reset usb: chipidea: add controller reset API usb: chipidea: remove flag CI_HDRC_REQUIRE_TRANSCEIVER ...
To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
