Hi Rob, I noticed there are still some platform needs to this solution,
I would like to see if I can move this on, please review below dts
solution. In below case, there are two ports on the root hub, one is
USB HUB, the another is a USB wifi. Both of these devices need to have
power control before they can work.
At USB hcd driver, it will try to look-up all USB devices on this
controller, if the usb-pwr-ops is existed, it will try to get its
phandle, and do gpio and clock operations.
Optional properties:
- usb-pwr-ops: the power operations which need to do before this USB device
can work.
Example:
/ {
...
hub_genesys_1_pwr_ops: hub_genesys_1_pwr_ops {
compatible = "usb-pwrseq-simple";
reset-gpios = <&gpio4 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* hub reset pin */
reset-duration-us = <10>;
clocks = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_CKO>;
};
wifi_nxp_2_pwr_ops: wifi_nxp_2_pwr_ops {
compatible = "usb-pwrseq-simple";
reset-gpios = <&gpio4 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>, /* wifi_rst */
<&gpio4 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* wifi_en */
reset-duration-us = <10>;
clocks = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_CKO1>;
};
...
};
&usb1 {
status = "okay";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
hub: genesys@1 {
compatible = "usb5e3,608";
reg = <1>;
usb-pwr-ops = <&hub_genesys_1_pwr_ops>
};
wifi: nxp@2 {
compatible = "usb5e3,608";
reg = <2>;
usb-pwr-ops = <&wifi_nxp_2_pwr_ops>
};
}
