Pull USB/PHY updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of USB and PHY driver patches for 4.21-rc1. All of the usual bits are in here: - loads of USB gadget driver updates and additions - new device ids - phy driver updates - xhci reworks and new features - typec updates Full details are in the shortlog. All of these have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported issues" * tag 'usb-4.21-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb: (142 commits) USB: serial: option: add Fibocom NL678 series cdc-acm: fix abnormal DATA RX issue for Mediatek Preloader. usb: r8a66597: Fix a possible concurrency use-after-free bug in r8a66597_endpoint_disable() usb: typec: tcpm: Extend the matching rules on PPS APDO selection usb: typec: Improve Alt Mode documentation usb: musb: dsps: fix runtime pm for peripheral mode usb: musb: dsps: fix otg state machine USB: serial: pl2303: add ids for Hewlett-Packard HP POS pole displays usb: renesas_usbhs: add support for RZ/G2E usb: ehci-omap: Fix deferred probe for phy handling usb: roles: Add a description for the class to Kconfig usb: renesas_usbhs: mark PM functions as __maybe_unused usb: core: Remove unnecessary memset() usb: host: isp1362-hcd: convert to DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE phy: qcom-qmp: Expose provided clocks to DT dt-bindings: phy-qcom-qmp: Move #clock-cells to child phy: qcom-qmp: Utilize fully-specified DT registers dt-bindings: phy-qcom-qmp: Fix register underspecification phy: ti: fix semicolon.cocci warnings phy: dphy: Add configuration helpers ...
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.
