There's dwc2_handle_hcd_intr() and dwc2_handle_common_intr(). Both are registered for the same "shared" IRQ. If I had to guess, I'd say that this is probably because someone wanted to assign the ".irq" field in the "struct hc_driver" for the host controller but that they also needed the other interrupt handler to handle things shared between host and gadget mode. In any case, one of these two interrupt routines handles connect and the other disconnect. That's pretty ugly but means that you can't just rely on standard techniques for keeping things in sync. It would probably be a pretty reasonable idea to try to clean that up more, but that would be a very major and intrusive change. -Doug -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
