Merge tag 'usb-for-v3.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/balbi/usb into usb-next
Felipe writes: usb: patches for v3.20 merge window Here's the big pull request for Gadgets and PHYs. It's a total of 217 non-merge commits with pretty much everything being touched. The most important bits are a ton of new documentation for almost all usb gadget functions, a new isp1760 UDC driver, several improvements to the old net2280 UDC driver, and some minor tracepoint improvements to dwc3. Other than that, a big list of minor cleanups, smaller bugfixes and new features all over the place. Signed-off-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com>

+Except for ifname they can be written to until the function is linked to a
+configuration. The ifname is read-only and contains the name of the interface
+which was assigned by the net core, e. g. usb0.
+
+Testing the ECM function

+configuration. The ifname is read-only and contains the name of the interface
+which was assigned by the net core, e. g. usb0.
+
+Testing the ECM subset function

+
+The function name to use when creating the function directory is "ffs".
+The function directory is intentionally empty and not modifiable.
+
+After creating the directory there is a new instance (a "device") of FunctionFS
+available in the system. Once a "device" is available, the user should follow
+the standard procedure for using FunctionFS (mount it, run the userspace
+process which implements the function proper). The gadget should be enabled
+by writing a suitable string to usb_gadget/<gadget>/UDC.
+
+Testing the FFS function
+------------------------
+
+On the device: start the function's userspace daemon, enable the gadget
+On the host: use the USB function provided by the device

+ report_desc - data to be used in HID reports, except data
+ passed with /dev/hidg<X>
+ report_length - HID report length
+ subclass - HID subclass to use
+
+For a keyboard the protocol and the subclass are 1, the report_length is 8,
+while the report_desc is:
+
+$ hd my_report_desc
+00000000 05 01 09 06 a1 01 05 07 19 e0 29 e7 15 00 25 01 |..........)...%.|

+00000030 75 08 15 00 25 65 05 07 19 00 29 65 81 00 c0 |u...%e....)e...|
+0000003f
+
+Such a sequence of bytes can be stored to the attribute with echo:
+
+$ echo -ne \\x05\\x01\\x09\\x06\\xa1.....
+
+Testing the HID function
+------------------------
+
+Device:
+- create the gadget
+- connect the gadget to a host, preferably not the one used
+to control the gadget
+- run a program which writes to /dev/hidg<N>, e.g.
+a userspace program found in Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt:
+
+$ ./hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg0 keyboard
+
+Host:
+- observe the keystrokes from the gadget
+
+7. LOOPBACK function

+
+http://www.linux-usb.org/usbtest/testusb.c
+
+8. MASS STORAGE function
+========================
+
+The function is provided by usb_f_mass_storage.ko module.
+
+Function-specific configfs interface
+------------------------------------
+
+The function name to use when creating the function directory is "mass_storage".
+The MASS STORAGE function provides these attributes in its directory:
+files:
+
+ stall - Set to permit function to halt bulk endpoints.
+ Disabled on some USB devices known not to work
+ correctly. You should set it to true.
+ num_buffers - Number of pipeline buffers. Valid numbers
+ are 2..4. Available only if
+ CONFIG_USB_GADGET_DEBUG_FILES is set.
+
+and a default lun.0 directory corresponding to SCSI LUN #0.
+
+A new lun can be added with mkdir:
+
+$ mkdir functions/mass_storage.0/partition.5
+
+Lun numbering does not have to be continuous, except for lun #0 which is
+created by default. A maximum of 8 luns can be specified and they all must be
+named following the <name>.<number> scheme. The numbers can be 0..8.
+Probably a good convention is to name the luns "lun.<number>",
+although it is not mandatory.
+
+In each lun directory there are the following attribute files:
+
+ file - The path to the backing file for the LUN.
+ Required if LUN is not marked as removable.
+ ro - Flag specifying access to the LUN shall be
+ read-only. This is implied if CD-ROM emulation
+ is enabled as well as when it was impossible
+ to open "filename" in R/W mode.
+ removable - Flag specifying that LUN shall be indicated as
+ being removable.
+ cdrom - Flag specifying that LUN shall be reported as
+ being a CD-ROM.
+ nofua - Flag specifying that FUA flag
+ in SCSI WRITE(10,12)
+
+Testing the MASS STORAGE function
+---------------------------------
+
+device: connect the gadget, enable it
+host: dmesg, see the USB drives appear (if system configured to automatically
+mount)

+ qlen - USB read request queue length
+
+Testing the MIDI function
+-------------------------
+
+There are two cases: playing a mid from the gadget to
+the host and playing a mid from the host to the gadget.
+
+1) Playing a mid from the gadget to the host
+host)
+
+$ arecordmidi -l
+ Port Client name Port name
+ 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
+ 24:0 MIDI Gadget MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
+$ arecordmidi -p 24:0 from_gadget.mid
+
+gadget)
+
+$ aplaymidi -l
+ Port Client name Port name
+ 20:0 f_midi f_midi
+
+$ aplaymidi -p 20:0 to_host.mid
+
+2) Playing a mid from the host to the gadget
+gadget)
+
+$ arecordmidi -l
+ Port Client name Port name
+ 20:0 f_midi f_midi
+
+$ arecordmidi -p 20:0 from_host.mid
+
+host)
+
+$ aplaymidi -l
+ Port Client name Port name
+ 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
+ 24:0 MIDI Gadget MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
+
+$ aplaymidi -p24:0 to_gadget.mid
+
+The from_gadget.mid should sound identical to the to_host.mid.
+The from_host.id should sound identical to the to_gadget.mid.
+
+MIDI files can be played to speakers/headphones with e.g. timidity installed
+
+$ aplaymidi -l
+ Port Client name Port name
+ 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
+ 24:0 MIDI Gadget MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
+128:0 TiMidity TiMidity port 0
+128:1 TiMidity TiMidity port 1
+128:2 TiMidity TiMidity port 2
+128:3 TiMidity TiMidity port 3
+
+$ aplaymidi -p 128:0 file.mid
+
+MIDI ports can be logically connected using the aconnect utility, e.g.:
+
+$ aconnect 24:0 128:0 # try it on the host
+
+After the gadget's MIDI port is connected to timidity's MIDI port,
+whatever is played at the gadget side with aplaymidi -l is audible
+in host's speakers/headphones.
+
+10. NCM function
+================
+
+The function is provided by usb_f_ncm.ko module.

+values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
+Except for ifname they can be written to until the function is linked to a
+configuration. The ifname is read-only and contains the name of the interface
+which was assigned by the net core, e. g. usb0.
+
+Testing the NCM function
+------------------------
+
+Configure IP addresses of the device and the host. Then:

+
+Testing the PHONET function
+---------------------------
+
+It is not possible to test the SOCK_STREAM protocol without a specific piece
+of hardware, so only SOCK_DGRAM has been tested. For the latter to work,
+in the past I had to apply the patch mentioned here:
+
+http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg85689.html
+
+These tools are required:
+
+git://git.gitorious.org/meego-cellular/phonet-utils.git
+
+On the host:
+
+$ ./phonet -a 0x10 -i usbpn0
+$ ./pnroute add 0x6c usbpn0
+$./pnroute add 0x10 usbpn0
+$ ifconfig usbpn0 up
+
+On the device:
+
+$ ./phonet -a 0x6c -i upnlink0
+$ ./pnroute add 0x10 upnlink0
+$ ifconfig upnlink0 up
+
+Then a test program can be used:
+
+http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg85690.html
+
+On the device:
+
+$ ./pnxmit -a 0x6c -r
+
+On the host:
+
+$ ./pnxmit -a 0x10 -s 0x6c
+
+As a result some data should be sent from host to device.
+Then the other way round:
+
+On the host:
+
+$ ./pnxmit -a 0x10 -r
+
+On the device:
+
+$ ./pnxmit -a 0x6c -s 0x10

+Except for ifname they can be written to until the function is linked to a
+configuration. The ifname is read-only and contains the name of the interface
+which was assigned by the net core, e. g. usb0.
+
+By default there can be only 1 RNDIS interface in the system.
+
+Testing the RNDIS function
+--------------------------
+
+Configure IP addresses of the device and the host. Then:
+
+On the device: ping <host's IP>

+
+ port_num
+
+The attribute is read-only.
+
+There can be at most 4 ACM/generic serial/OBEX ports in the system.
+
+Testing the SERIAL function
+---------------------------
+
+On host: insmod usbserial
+ echo VID PID >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/generic/new_id
+On host: cat > /dev/ttyUSB<X>
+On target: cat /dev/ttyGS<Y>

+ streaming/uncompressed/<format>
+
+Each frame description contains frame interval specification, and each

+in each line. The rules stated above are best illustrated with an example:
+
+# mkdir functions/uvc.usb0/control/header/h
+# cd functions/uvc.usb0/control/header/h
+# ln -s header/h class/fs
+# ln -s header/h class/ss
