The readsl and writesl I/O accessors are only defined on some architectures. The driver currently depends on CONFIG_ARM because the build breaks on x86, in particular. Switch to use of ioread32_rep and iowrite32_rep to fix build on all architectures and remove the CONFIG_ARM dependency. Also update printk formatting to handle a long long dma_addr_t to avoid warnings on !32-bit architectures. Signed-off-by: Matt Porter <mporter@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com>

include/phy/phy.h has stub code in there for when building without the phy-core enabled. This is useful for generic drivers such as ahci-platform, ehci-platoform and ohci-platform which have support for driving an optional phy passed to them through the devicetree. Since on some boards this phy functionality is not needed, being able to disable the phy subsystem without needing a lot of #ifdef magic in the driver using it is quite useful. However this breaks when the module using the phy subsystem is build-in and the phy-core is not, which leads to the build failing with missing symbol errors in the linking stage of the zImage. Which leads to gems such as this being added to the Kconfig for achi_platform: depends on GENERIC_PHY || !GENERIC_PHY Rather then duplicating this code in a lot of places using the phy-core, I believe it is better to simply not allow the phy-core to be built as a module. The phy core is quite small and has no external dependencies, so always building it in when enabling it should not be an issue.

The Kconfig entries for USB_U132_HCD and USB_FTDI_ELAN default to (uppercase) "M". But in Kconfig (lowercase) "m" is a magic symbol. "M" is an ordinary symbol. As "M" is never set these Kconfig symbols will also not be set by default. Since I'm not aware of a reason why these driver should be set by default, let's just drop these lines (that basically do nothing).

As Jonas Gorski suggested, we may as well apply the same check to general platform data too. This requires moving the code that sets the big-endian quirk flags from the ohci_platform_reset() routine into ohci_platform_probe(), and moving the checks out of the DT-specific "if" statement clause.

The initial versions of the devicetree enablement patches for ehci-platform used "ehci-platform" as compatible string. However this was disliked by various reviewers because the platform bus is a Linux invention and devicetree is supposed to be OS agnostic. After much discussion I gave up, added a: "depends on !PPC_OF" to Kconfig to avoid a known conflict with PPC-OF platforms and went with the generic usb-ehci as requested. In retro-spect I should have chosen something different, the dts files for many existing boards already claim to be compatible with "usb-ehci", ie they have: compatible = "ti,ehci-omap", "usb-ehci"; In theory this should not be a problem since the "ti,ehci-omap" entry takes presedence, but in practice using a conflicting compatible string is an issue, because it makes which driver gets used depend on driver registration order. This patch changes the compatible string claimed by ehci-platform to "generic-ehci", avoiding the driver registration / module loading ordering problems, and removes the "depends on !PPC_OF" workaround.

According to the spec for the DWC2 controller, when the PRTINT interrupt fires, the application must clear the appropriate status bit in the Host Port Control and Status register to clear this bit. When disconnecting an A-cable when the dwc2 host driver, the PRTINT fires, but only the GINTSTS_PRTINT status is cleared, no action is done with the HPRT0 register. The HPRT0_ENACHG bit in the HPRT0 must also be poked to correctly clear the GINTSTS_PRTINT interrupt. I am seeing this behavoir on v2.93 of the DWC2 IP. When I disconnect an OTG A-cable adapter, the PRTINT interrupt fires when the DWC2 is in device mode and is never cleared. This patch adds the function to read the HPRT0 register when the PRTINT fires and the dwc2 IP has already transitioned to device mode. This function is only clearing the HPRT0_ENACHG bit for now, but can be modified to handle more.

Currently ehci-platform is only used in combination with devicetree when used with some Via socs. By extending it to (optionally) get clks and a phy from devicetree, and enabling / disabling those on power_on / off, it can be used more generically. Specifically after this commit it can be used for the ehci controller on Allwinner sunxi SoCs. Since ehci-platform is intended to handle any generic enough non pci ehci device, add a "usb-ehci" compatibility string. There already is a usb-ehci device-tree bindings document, update this with clks and phy bindings info. Although actually quite generic so far the via,vt8500 compatibilty string had its own bindings document. Somehow we even ended up with 2 of them. Since these provide no extra information over the generic usb-ehci documentation, this patch removes them. The ehci-ppc-of.c driver also claims the usb-ehci compatibility string, even though it mostly is ibm,usb-ehci-440epx specific. ehci-platform.c is not needed on ppc platforms, so add a !PPC_OF dependency to it to avoid 2 drivers claiming the same compatibility string getting build on ppc.

This modifies the probing order so that any matching dynamic entry always will be used, even if the driver has a matching static entry. It is sometimes useful to dynamically update existing device entries. With the new ability to set the dynamic entry driver_info field, this can be used to test new additions to class driver exception lists or proposed changes to existing static per-device driver_info entries.

People sometimes create their own custom-configured kernels and forget to enable CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN. This causes problems when they plug in a USB storage device (such as a card reader) with more than one LUN. Fortunately, we can tell fairly easily when a storage device claims to have more than one LUN. When that happens, this patch asks the SCSI layer to probe all the LUNs automatically, regardless of the config setting. The patch also updates the Kconfig help text for usb-storage, explaining that CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN may be necessary.

The Cypress ATACB unusual-devs entry for the Super Top SATA bridge causes problems. Although it was originally reported only for bcdDevice = 0x160, its range was much larger. This resulted in a bug report for bcdDevice 0x220, so the range was capped at 0x219. Now Milan reports errors with bcdDevice 0x150. Therefore this patch restricts the range to just 0x160.

The move from the staging tree to the main tree exposed a longstanding memory corruption bug in the dwc2 driver. The reordering of the driver initialization caused the dwc2 driver to corrupt the initialization data of the sdhci driver on the Raspberry Pi platform, which made the bug show up. The error is in calling to_usb_device(hsotg->dev), since ->dev is not a member of struct usb_device. The easiest fix is to just remove the offending code, since it is not really needed.

Hi Greg, Here's four patches for 3.14. One of them adds an xHCI host quirk, and the other three of them fix regressions introduced in 3.14. One regression causes USB 3.0 Link PM to be enabled on all xHCI hosts (even those that may not support it), which causes some USB 3.0 devices to not enumerate. A second regression causes some xHCI hosts that don't support 64-bit addressing to stop responding to commands and die. Note, these patches don't fix the recent usbfs regression that was caused by commit 35773dac "usb: xhci: Link TRB must not occur within a USB payload burst". I'm waiting for those patches to be tested. Please pull usb-linus into usb-next, as I have feature patches that rely on 140e3026 Revert "usbcore: set lpm_capable field for LPM capable root hubs" Sarah Sharp

Since we will probably never implement full HP-UX support, we prefer to drop this compatibility to make it easier for us with Linux userspace programs which mostly never checked for both values.

HPFS needs to load 4 consecutive 512-byte sectors when accessing the directory nodes or bitmaps. We can't switch to 2048-byte block size because files are allocated in the units of 512-byte sectors. Previously, the driver would allocate a 2048-byte area using kmalloc, copy the data from four buffers to this area and eventually copy them back if they were modified. In the current implementation of the buffer cache, buffers are allocated in the pagecache. That means that 4 consecutive 512-byte buffers are stored in consecutive areas in the kernel address space. So, we don't need to allocate extra memory and copy the content of the buffers there. This patch optimizes the code to avoid copying the buffers. It checks if the four buffers are stored in contiguous memory - if they are not, it falls back to allocating a 2048-byte area and copying data there.
