Pull USB/PHY updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of USB and PHY driver updates for 4.15-rc1. There is the usual amount of gadget and xhci driver updates, along with phy and chipidea enhancements. There's also a lot of SPDX tags and license boilerplate cleanups as well, which provide some churn in the diffstat. Other major thing is the typec code that moved out of staging and into the "real" part of the drivers/usb/ tree, which was nice to see happen. All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues for a while" * tag 'usb-4.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb: (263 commits) usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix use-after-free in ffs_free_inst USB: usbfs: compute urb->actual_length for isochronous usb: core: message: remember to reset 'ret' to 0 when necessary USB: typec: Remove remaining redundant license text USB: typec: add SPDX identifiers to some files USB: renesas_usbhs: rcar?.h: add SPDX tags USB: chipidea: ci_hdrc_tegra.c: add SPDX line USB: host: xhci-debugfs: add SPDX lines USB: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining Makefiles usb: host: isp1362-hcd: remove a couple of redundant assignments USB: adutux: remove redundant variable minor usb: core: add a new usb_get_ptm_status() helper usb: core: add a 'type' parameter to usb_get_status() usb: core: introduce a new usb_get_std_status() helper usb: core: rename usb_get_status() 'type' argument to 'recip' usb: core: add Status Type definitions USB: gadget: Remove redundant license text USB: gadget: function: Remove redundant license text USB: gadget: udc: Remove redundant license text USB: gadget: legacy: Remove redundant license text ...
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.
