Subject: [RFCv1 0/8] Meson-8b and Meson-gxbb USB phy code re-structure

On Odroid C1+ and Odroid C2 USB feature is broken
this code changes are just re-structure the code so that
proper callback function execute in proper order.

Code changes losely based on phy-meson-gxl-usb2.c

Initially if we connect USB HDD at initial boot it get detected.
but after that usb hotplug of USB HDD is broken.
I did not observe and USB debug events messages to trace the root cause.

Another issue I observed is increase of USB interrupts event
even if there is not much activity on USB ports.
I tried some clk changes but it did not workout for me.

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep usb
45: 0 0 0 0 GICv2 62 Level c9000000.usb, dwc2_hsotg:usb1
46: 17488032 0 0 0 GICv2 63 Level c9100000.usb, dwc2_hsotg:usb2

Thanks

with "broken" you mean the hotplug and IRQ issues you describe below?
I think that these are not PHY related but rather a problem with the
dwc2 IP/driver

there's a big difference between the Meson8 and GXL drivers:
GXL requires changing some of the PHY registers at runtime based on
the mode (host/peripheral).
The Meson8 PHY however (as far as I can tell from the 3.10 and 3.14
kernels) don't require any runtime changes based on the mode.

I suggest reporting this to the dwc2 maintainers and asking for advice
on how to debug these issues.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your review comments.

Yes I have gone through 3.10 and 3.14 kernel + u-boot source code
My intent is to simplify the code changes so that they will be
flexible to be used
in the future API. It does not solve the problem.

Yes I have enabled the CONFIG_USB_DWC2_DEBUG
to help debug this issue but could not find much clue on
why this is happening.

I will keep debugging the DWC2 code or try to understand the missing features.

it happened to me before: don't worry, it's something that can be fixed

I think CONFIG_USB_DWC2_DEBUG is a good starting point.
For myself I came to the conclusion that the dwc2 IP is too complex to
understand without additional information
Some additional information can be found in public datasheets of other
SoCs which are also using a dwc2 core, see for example RK3128 [0] or
RT3050 [1]
That's why my suggestion is to additionally ask the dwc2 maintainers
(which are not Cc'ed on this mail) for debugging suggestions.


Best regards,
Martin

Yes, I will investigate with mode debugging and Cc USB maintainers in
the next version for more details.
