This series adds the onboard_usb_hub_driver, the corresponding
device tree bindings and creation of onboard_usb_hub platform in
the xhci-plat driver during probe().

The main issue the driver addresses is that a USB hub needs to be
powered before it can be discovered. For discrete onboard hubs (an
example for such a hub is the Realtek RTS5411) this is often solved
by supplying the hub with an 'always-on' regulator, which is kind
of a hack. Some onboard hubs may require further initialization
steps, like changing the state of a GPIO or enabling a clock, which
requires even more hacks. This driver creates a platform device
representing the hub which performs the necessary initialization.
Currently it only supports switching on a single regulator, support
for multiple regulators or other actions can be added as needed.
Different initialization sequences can be supported based on the
compatible string.

Besides performing the initialization the driver can be configured
to power the hub off during system suspend. This can help to extend
battery life on battery powered devices which have no requirements
to keep the hub powered during suspend. The driver can also be
configured to leave the hub powered when a wakeup capable USB device
is connected when suspending, and power it off otherwise.

(no changes since v1)

It seems you are re-developing the power sequence drivers which perform
exactly this. Peter Chen some time ago was bringing power sequence to
USB devices, but I lost track where this ended up.

Some of his (and my) very old work (2017...) can be found here:
https://github.com/krzk/linux/tree/wip/odroid-u3-usb3503-pwrseq

Instead of adding custom driver hiding some USB hub implementation,
power sequence seems a generic solution. What if you need to power cycle
other embedded USB device? Not a hub?

I was not aware of previous discussions so maybe I am repeating
someone.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

pwrseq was brought up in the discussion about this driver, but wasn't
deemed suitable for this use case which might require more complex
configurations:

The driver could be extended to also cover other types of devices if desired.
Maybe it should be called usb-pwrseq then, even though it's not directly
related with the original pwrseq series.

Never use WARN_ON() unless you want the machine to reboot if it triggers
(panic on warn).

But the larger question is what is this sysfs link for?  It's not
documented anywhere, and so, shouldn't be allowed.  Who is going to use
it and why is it needed?

sysfs_emit()?

And you forgot the Documentation/ABI/ entries for this driver, so it
really can not be reviewed...

You just raced userspace and lost :(

Please use the correct api to add sysfs attributes to the device
automatically by the driver core.  But the larger question is why do you
need them at all?  What do they do that we can't already do with
existing apis that you feel a one-off api for this driver is required?

(void)????

Please no, do it right.

But, why is a driver calling this function anyway?  That feels really
really wrong...

Ah, thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Will change to some type of log if the
sysfs attributes stick around.

Alan asked to add them: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1313000/#1514338

I'm fine with either way, let's just agree on something :)

The 'always_powered_in_suspend' attribute allows the admin to configure whether
the hub should always been kept on in suspend. I'm know about existing APIs that
would be suitable for that, but that might be just my ignorance. If you have any
suggestions please let me know.

Ok, driver_attach() does not return an error when the driver is already
attached, so it should be fine to change this to an error check.

I found during testing that this is needed to make sure the driver is attached
again after it was released in onboard_hub_remove(). Alan requested to release
the driver to avoid dangling references:

This isn't really generic. Maybe there's a set of hubs with only a 
single supply much like 'simple-panel', but I kind of doubt that here. 
There aren't hundreds of hub chips like panels. Though, we should put 
this into bindings/usb/hub/ so we start collecting hub bindings in one 
place.

A generic driver doesn't have to have a generic binding. You can have a 
specific device binding which is handled by a generic driver. Or not. 
Who knows. Maybe a simple user like u-boot has a generic driver while 
something more feature rich has a device specific binding.

How about a 'hub-companion' property or similar?

Yes, something like that is what I had in mind.

Another inconvenient is that collaboration from the controller /
generic hub driver is needed, however it seems at least Alan would be
ok with that.

Rob pointed me here at your series.
http://lore.kernel.org/r/CAL_JsqJedhX6typpUKbnzV7CLK6UZVjq3CyG9iY_j5DLPqvVdw@mail.gmail.com

And I have looked at RTS5411 datasheet and it looks very similar to
Microchip usb5744 chip we use.
Both have i2c/smbus and spi interfaces and also input clock.
usb5744 has also external gpio reset.

There are also usb3503 and others which should fit to this generic DT
binding.

Thanks,
Michal

That's why please keep me in the loop on v6 because I think
