I do not understand. We do not deal with code that is not in the kernel
source tree, as we have no idea what is out there. Please just submit
your changes to be merged into the tree and all will be fine.

Hi Greg and mka,
Let's make it clear that we are talking about once this driver is approved into usb tree,
If we use different USB HUB which have VID/PID not defined in this driver,
We need to update this driver.
But if we defined VID/PID in device tree(for a specific board, manufacture should know VID/PID from HUB it used),
dynamic parsed by the driver, then we don't need to change this driver (increase VID/PID table).

As per my earlier reply, the kernel/USB core uses the VID:PID reported
by the USB device, the compatible string in the device tree is purely
informational. That's not something that could be changed by this
driver.
And even if the VID:PID from the device tree was used: how is the
kernel supposed to know that the onboard_hub driver should be
probed for a given VID:PID from the device tree, without listing
the VID:PID (or compatible string) in the driver (which is what
you seem to seek to avoid)?

I can't fully understand this comment, could you please share step if we want to add a new HUB support, what should we do ? nothing ?
If do nothing, can we remove id_table from onboard_hub_usbdev_driver ?

In my opinion, if it need update VID/PID table in this driver to support a new HUB,
we can parse VID/PID from device tree and create dynamic VID/PID entry to id_table of onboard_hub_usbdev_driver.
Hope you can understand what I said.

Add the VID:PID and compatible strings to onboard_usb_hub.c, analogous
to those for the RTS5411 and RTS5414. More work will be needed if the
hub needs a special power up or power down sequence (multiple regulators,
GPIOs, ...)

Not really.
I doubt that what you are suggesting would work. The easiest thing
to convince people would probably be to send a patch (based on this
one) with a working implementation of your idea.

I see multiple issues with this approach:
1. The new device tree property 'vidpid'. It is (or should be) redundant
with the compatible string, I very much doubt you could convince DT
maintainers to add it.
2. You don't want to modify the driver to enabled support for new USB hubs.
That means you would have to use a compatible string that is already in
the driver, but which doesn't match the VID:PID of the hub. While this
might work it's a hack.
3. If the USB hub is probed before the platform device it won't use this
driver because the VID:PID isn't in the device id table.
4. Possible race conditions when changing the device id table on the fly

This is another topic which I don't know if discuss or not,
What is power state requirement of hub for this driver ?
Do it expect hub power off when system enter linux kernel stage ?
If so, all this driver may not work as hub may enumerated before this driver load.

If hub is default power off, there is no race.
