While discussing at the U-Boot mailing list about i.MX6Q USB host
support for U-Boot, there was the question what's about the same for
mainline Linux. See below.
I'd like to continue this discussion with a new subject and adding the
Linaro mailing list.

btw Fabio, do we support mx6q USB host in mainline Linux ?
Not yet, Marek.
Linaro has it working with

It shouldn't be that hard to apply these to plain mainline Linux (?).
Do you believe this will be accepted into mainline Linux if basically the same
stuff, except for mx28 did NOT get accepted?
Do you have any pointers to the discussion about this? Hopefully we
could learn from that.
The shape of the code was almost
identical, maybe better. Actually, even the file names are the same here and in
the old FSL BSP for mx28.
I think the good news is at least that Linaro is working on a more or
less recent kernel (atm 3.2). So, as mentioned above, porting it from
the Linaro kernel to the mainline kernel shouldn't be that hard. The
next step would be to clean them up, hopefully learning from the mx28
experience mentioned above.
What do you think?
Best regards
Dirk
