-USB Type-C connector class
-==========================
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-The typec class is meant for describing the USB Type-C ports in a system to the
-user space in unified fashion. The class is designed to provide nothing else
-except the user space interface implementation in hope that it can be utilized
-on as many platforms as possible.
-
-The platforms are expected to register every USB Type-C port they have with the
-class. In a normal case the registration will be done by a USB Type-C or PD PHY
-driver, but it may be a driver for firmware interface such as UCSI, driver for
-USB PD controller or even driver for Thunderbolt3 controller. This document
-considers the component registering the USB Type-C ports with the class as "port
-driver".
-
-On top of showing the capabilities, the class also offer user space control over
-the roles and alternate modes of ports, partners and cable plugs when the port
-driver is capable of supporting those features.
-
-The class provides an API for the port drivers described in this document. The
-attributes are described in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-typec.
-
-User space interface
---------------------
-Every port will be presented as its own device under /sys/class/typec/. The
-first port will be named "port0", the second "port1" and so on.
-
-When connected, the partner will be presented also as its own device under
-/sys/class/typec/. The parent of the partner device will always be the port it
-is attached to. The partner attached to port "port0" will be named
-"port0-partner". Full path to the device would be
-/sys/class/typec/port0/port0-partner/.
-
-The cable and the two plugs on it may also be optionally presented as their own
-devices under /sys/class/typec/. The cable attached to the port "port0" port
-will be named port0-cable and the plug on the SOP Prime end (see USB Power
-Delivery Specification ch. 2.4) will be named "port0-plug0" and on the SOP
-Double Prime end "port0-plug1". The parent of a cable will always be the port,
-and the parent of the cable plugs will always be the cable.
-
-If the port, partner or cable plug supports Alternate Modes, every supported
-Alternate Mode SVID will have their own device describing them. Note that the
-Alternate Mode devices will not be attached to the typec class. The parent of an
-alternate mode will be the device that supports it, so for example an alternate
-mode of port0-partner will be presented under /sys/class/typec/port0-partner/.
-Every mode that is supported will have its own group under the Alternate Mode
-device named "mode<index>", for example /sys/class/typec/port0/<alternate
-mode>/mode1/. The requests for entering/exiting a mode can be done with "active"
-attribute file in that group.
-
-Driver API
-----------
-
-Registering the ports
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The port drivers will describe every Type-C port they control with struct
-typec_capability data structure, and register them with the following API:
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_register_port typec_unregister_port
-
-When registering the ports, the prefer_role member in struct typec_capability
-deserves special notice. If the port that is being registered does not have
-initial role preference, which means the port does not execute Try.SNK or
-Try.SRC by default, the member must have value TYPEC_NO_PREFERRED_ROLE.
-Otherwise if the port executes Try.SNK by default, the member must have value
-TYPEC_DEVICE, and with Try.SRC the value must be TYPEC_HOST.
-
-Registering Partners
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-After successful connection of a partner, the port driver needs to register the
-partner with the class. Details about the partner need to be described in struct
-typec_partner_desc. The class copies the details of the partner during
-registration. The class offers the following API for registering/unregistering
-partners.
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_register_partner typec_unregister_partner
-
-The class will provide a handle to struct typec_partner if the registration was
-successful, or NULL.
-
-If the partner is USB Power Delivery capable, and the port driver is able to
-show the result of Discover Identity command, the partner descriptor structure
-should include handle to struct usb_pd_identity instance. The class will then
-create a sysfs directory for the identity under the partner device. The result
-of Discover Identity command can then be reported with the following API:
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_partner_set_identity
-
-Registering Cables
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-After successful connection of a cable that supports USB Power Delivery
-Structured VDM "Discover Identity", the port driver needs to register the cable
-and one or two plugs, depending if there is CC Double Prime controller present
-in the cable or not. So a cable capable of SOP Prime communication, but not SOP
-Double Prime communication, should only have one plug registered. For more
-information about SOP communication, please read chapter about it from the
-latest USB Power Delivery specification.
-
-The plugs are represented as their own devices. The cable is registered first,
-followed by registration of the cable plugs. The cable will be the parent device
-for the plugs. Details about the cable need to be described in struct
-typec_cable_desc and about a plug in struct typec_plug_desc. The class copies
-the details during registration. The class offers the following API for
-registering/unregistering cables and their plugs:
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_register_cable typec_unregister_cable typec_register_plug
- typec_unregister_plug
-
-The class will provide a handle to struct typec_cable and struct typec_plug if
-the registration is successful, or NULL if it isn't.
-
-If the cable is USB Power Delivery capable, and the port driver is able to show
-the result of Discover Identity command, the cable descriptor structure should
-include handle to struct usb_pd_identity instance. The class will then create a
-sysfs directory for the identity under the cable device. The result of Discover
-Identity command can then be reported with the following API:
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_cable_set_identity
-
-Notifications
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-When the partner has executed a role change, or when the default roles change
-during connection of a partner or cable, the port driver must use the following
-APIs to report it to the class:
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_set_data_role typec_set_pwr_role typec_set_vconn_role
- typec_set_pwr_opmode
-
-Alternate Modes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-USB Type-C ports, partners and cable plugs may support Alternate Modes. Each
-Alternate Mode will have identifier called SVID, which is either a Standard ID
-given by USB-IF or vendor ID, and each supported SVID can have 1 - 6 modes. The
-class provides struct typec_mode_desc for describing individual mode of a SVID,
-and struct typec_altmode_desc which is a container for all the supported modes.
-
-Ports that support Alternate Modes need to register each SVID they support with
-the following API:
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_port_register_altmode
-
-If a partner or cable plug provides a list of SVIDs as response to USB Power
-Delivery Structured VDM Discover SVIDs message, each SVID needs to be
-registered.
-
-API for the partners:
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_partner_register_altmode
-
-API for the Cable Plugs:
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_plug_register_altmode
-
-So ports, partners and cable plugs will register the alternate modes with their
-own functions, but the registration will always return a handle to struct
-typec_altmode on success, or NULL. The unregistration will happen with the same
-function:
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_unregister_altmode
-
-If a partner or cable plug enters or exits a mode, the port driver needs to
-notify the class with the following API:
-
-.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
- :functions: typec_altmode_update_active

-USB3 debug port
-===============
-
-:Author: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>
-:Date: March 2017
-
-GENERAL
-=======
-
-This is a HOWTO for using the USB3 debug port on x86 systems.
-
-Before using any kernel debugging functionality based on USB3
-debug port, you need to::
-
- 1) check whether any USB3 debug port is available in
- your system;
- 2) check which port is used for debugging purposes;
- 3) have a USB 3.0 super-speed A-to-A debugging cable.
-
-INTRODUCTION
-============
-
-The xHCI debug capability (DbC) is an optional but standalone
-functionality provided by the xHCI host controller. The xHCI
-specification describes DbC in the section 7.6.
-
-When DbC is initialized and enabled, it will present a debug
-device through the debug port (normally the first USB3
-super-speed port). The debug device is fully compliant with
-the USB framework and provides the equivalent of a very high
-performance full-duplex serial link between the debug target
-(the system under debugging) and a debug host.
-
-EARLY PRINTK
-============
-
-DbC has been designed to log early printk messages. One use for
-this feature is kernel debugging. For example, when your machine
-crashes very early before the regular console code is initialized.
-Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of a full-
-blown printk console driver and klogd.
-
-On the debug target system, you need to customize a debugging
-kernel with CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_USB_XDBC enabled. And, add below
-kernel boot parameter::
-
- "earlyprintk=xdbc"
-
-If there are multiple xHCI controllers in your system, you can
-append a host contoller index to this kernel parameter. This
-index starts from 0.
-
-Current design doesn't support DbC runtime suspend/resume. As
-the result, you'd better disable runtime power management for
-USB subsystem by adding below kernel boot parameter::
-
- "usbcore.autosuspend=-1"
-
-Before starting the debug target, you should connect the debug
-port to a USB port (root port or port of any external hub) on
-the debug host. The cable used to connect these two ports
-should be a USB 3.0 super-speed A-to-A debugging cable.
-
-During early boot of the debug target, DbC will be detected and
-initialized. After initialization, the debug host should be able
-to enumerate the debug device in debug target. The debug host
-will then bind the debug device with the usb_debug driver module
-and create the /dev/ttyUSB device.
-
-If the debug device enumeration goes smoothly, you should be able
-to see below kernel messages on the debug host::
-
- # tail -f /var/log/kern.log
- [ 1815.983374] usb 4-3: new SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
- [ 1815.999595] usb 4-3: LPM exit latency is zeroed, disabling LPM.
- [ 1815.999899] usb 4-3: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0004
- [ 1815.999902] usb 4-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
- [ 1815.999903] usb 4-3: Product: Remote GDB
- [ 1815.999904] usb 4-3: Manufacturer: Linux
- [ 1815.999905] usb 4-3: SerialNumber: 0001
- [ 1816.000240] usb_debug 4-3:1.0: xhci_dbc converter detected
- [ 1816.000360] usb 4-3: xhci_dbc converter now attached to ttyUSB0
-
-You can use any communication program, for example minicom, to
-read and view the messages. Below simple bash scripts can help
-you to check the sanity of the setup.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- ===== start of bash scripts =============
- #!/bin/bash
-
- while true ; do
- while [ ! -d /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0 ] ; do
