Pull USB updates from Greg KH: "Here's the big USB driver update for 4.8-rc1. Lots of the normal stuff in here, musb, gadget, xhci, and other updates and fixes. All of the details are in the shortlog. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'usb-4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb: (169 commits) cdc-acm: beautify probe() cdc-wdm: use the common CDC parser cdc-acm: cleanup error handling cdc-acm: use the common parser usbnet: move the CDC parser into USB core usb: musb: sunxi: Simplify dr_mode handling usb: musb: sunxi: make unexported symbols static usb: musb: cppi41: add dma channel tracepoints usb: musb: cppi41: move struct cppi41_dma_channel to header usb: musb: cleanup cppi_dma header usb: musb: gadget: add usb-request tracepoints usb: musb: host: add urb tracepoints usb: musb: add tracepoints to dump interrupt events usb: musb: add tracepoints for register access usb: musb: dsps: use musb register read/write wrappers instead usb: musb: switch dev_dbg to tracepoints usb: musb: add tracepoints support for debugging usb: quirks: Add no-lpm quirk for Elan phy: rcar-gen3-usb2: fix mutex_lock calling in interrupt phy: rockhip-usb: use devm_add_action_or_reset() ...
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.
