[PATCH v6 0/4] usb: Linking ports to their Type-C connectors

[Heikki Krogerus]

Hi,

These are the remaining four patches of the series, now rebased on top
of the latest usb-next. No other changes.


v5 cover letter:

I have to use IS_REACHABLE() instead of IS_ENABLED() also in
include/linux/usb.h. Otherwise compilation will fail if the Type-C
class is build-in while USB is a module.

I'm sorry for re-sending these so fast, immediately after v4. Normally
I would wait, but I'll be taking a short vacation starting from right
now, and I'm still hoping to get these into v5.13.


v4 cover letter:

One more version. I used #ifdef when I should have used #if
IS_DEFINED(). Thanks Guenter for pointing that out.

I'm sending this version right away because of the holidays. I'm not
changing anything else except that one fix.


v3: cover letter:

Third version: ifdefs now in the header files as they should be.


v2 cover letter:

This is the second version of this series. The "Iterator for ports"
patch is now moved to the end of the series (5/6).

I'm now using usb_for_each_dev() in usb_for_each_port like Alan
suggested, and I'm now using usb_port_peer_mutex to lock the ports
while we're dealing with them in __each_hub().


The original cover letter:

Adding a simple function typec_link_port() that can be used to create
a symlink "connector" that points to the USB Type-C connector of a
port. It is used with USB ports initially, but hopefully later also
with other things like DisplayPorts.

Being able to see which connector is connected to a port is important
in general, but it is really important when for example the data or
power role of a device needs to swapped. The user probable wants to
know which USB device is disconnected if role swap on a USB Type-C
connector is executed.

Hope these are OK.

thanks,

[PATCH v6 1/4] usb: typec: Port mapping utility

[Heikki Krogerus]

Adding functions that can be used to link/unlink ports -
USB ports, TBT3/USB4 ports, DisplayPorts and so on - to
the USB Type-C connectors they are attached to inside a
system. The symlink that is created for the port device is
named "connector".

Initially only ACPI is supported. ACPI port object shares
the _PLD (Physical Location of Device) with the USB Type-C
connector that it's attached to.

usb_for_each_dev(), but instead of going through every USB
device in the system, it walks through the USB ports in the

Did this patch eventually get merged?
I somehow don't see it in the "master" kernel branch [1], although I do
see the commit in that repo [2].

[1]:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/drivers/usb/core/port.c

[2]:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=63cd78617350dae99cc5fbd8f643b83ee819fe33&head=master

It was applied but later reverted with commit 5bdb080f9603 because
it created a module dependency cycle.

Ah, I'm sorry guys, I forgot about this patch. I'll put it back to my
task list. If you are interested in fixing this, and have time to do
that, go right ahead. Let me know.
