By the way I have to ask you to add new (vid,pid) pair to cp2101 driver.
This device is argussoft's avr in-system programmer AS3M,
http://atmel.argussoft.ru/hard.htm
it's based on cp2101 chip and works pretty well with the linux driver.
It could be used with argussoft's `asisp1109.exe'
(http://atmel.argussoft.ru/download/software/as-tools.soft/asisp.zip)
tool run under wine.

ctrl_complete functions acquires ctx->lock and tries to unlink
all queued urbs in case of errors through usb_unlink_urb func.
In its turn usb_unlink_urb calls, through the hcd driver,
usb_hcd_giveback_urb which calls ctrl_complete again. At this
time, ctx->lock is already taken by the same function.

This patch (as690) does the same thing for ISO TDs as as680 did for
non-ISO TDs: free them as they are used rather than all at once when an
URB is complete. At the same time it fixes a minor buglet (I'm not
aware of it ever affecting anyone): An ISO TD should be retired when its
frame is over, regardless of whether or not the hardware has marked it
inactive.

This patch (as689) stores the period for periodic transfers (interrupt

This patch (as688) fixes a small race in uhci-hcd. Because ISO queues
aren't controlled by queue headers, they can't be unlinked. Only
individual URBs can. So whenever multiple ISO URBs are dequeued, it's
necessary to make sure the hardware is done with each one. We can't
assume that dequeuing the first URB will suffice to unlink the entire
queue.

This patch removes the artificial 4088-byte limit that usbfs
currently places on Control transfers. The USB spec does not
specify a strict limit on the size of an entire control transfer.
It does, however, state that the data stage "follows the same
protocol rules as bulk transfers." (USB 2, 8.5.3)
The level of support for large control transfers in real host
controllers varies, but it's important to support at least 4K
transfers. Windows enforces a maximum control transfer size
of 4K, so there exists some hardware that requires a full 4096
byte data stage. Without this patch, we fall short of that by
8 bytes on architectures with a 4K page size, and it becomes
impossible to support such hardware with a user-space driver.
Since any limit placed on control transfers by usbfs would be
arbitrary, this patch replaces the PAGE_SIZE limit with the same
arbitrary limit used by bulk transfers.

The swsusp.txt documentation harshes confusingly on USB, and this patch
addresses the issue. It's harsh because it blames USB for some issues
that are generic to all drivers -- especially those supporting removable
media -- and it's confusing since it says that USB has the issue with
"suspend" not just swsusp ... while in reality, USB doesn't have the
issue when real system suspend states are used.

This patch (as683) re-implements Full-Speed Bandwidth Reclamation (FSBR)
properly. It keeps track of which endpoint queues have advanced, and
when none have advanced for a sufficiently long time, FSBR is turned
off. The next TD on each of the non-moving queues is modified to
generate an interrupt on completion, so that FSBR can be re-enabled as
soon as the hardware starts to make some progress.

It seems to be relatively common for USB keyboards and mice to dislike
being polled for reports. Since there's no need to poll a keyboard or
a mouse, this patch (as685) automatically sets the HID_QUIRK_NOGET flag
for devices that advertise themselves as either sort of device with boot
protocol support.
This won't cure all the problems since some devices don't support the
boot protocol, but it's simple and easy and it should fix quite a few

that make Apple Mighty Mouse work poorly
Transposed lines of code in drivers/usb/input/hid-input.c causes the
capability bits for a new HID device to be set before quirks are applied
at configuration time. When an HID event is then sent up to the input
layer, it may then be discarded as irrelevant because the wrong
capability bit is set.
Further, the quirks for the Apple Mighty Mouse are not quite right: the
horizontal scrolling needs its axis reversed, and the left and center
buttons are transposed. Also, the mouse is labeled in the kernel with
its earlier name (I think) of Apple PowerMouse.
Steps to reproduce problem: Plug in an Apple Mighty Mouse. Note that
horizontal scrolling doesn't work at all, and in fact doesn't generate
any input events on /dev/input/eventN. Note also that pushing the
middle button performs the right button action, and vice versa. Once
you have the horizontal scrolling working, note that it is backward WRT
both to vertical scrolling and to common sense.
This patch maybe should be broken up, as it does address two problems.
The transposed code in hidinput_configure_usage() probably creates bugs
beyond just the Mighty Mouse. The rest of the patch renames POWERMOUSE
to MIGHTYMOUSE everywhere (which I *believe* is correct), fixes the
MIGHTYMOUSE quirk to swap the center and right mouse buttons, and adds a
new quirk HID_QUIRK_INVERT_HWHEEL also assigned to the MIGHTYMOUSE with
code in hidinput_hid_event() to implement it.

After some further testing with my flash device I realised that our current
probe doesn't always work (e.g. when no media is inserted).
Now that Peter Chubb's patch has simplified the detection of 99% of the HP CD
writers out there, we have a much smaller range of hardware to work with on
the shared device ID, so it should be possible to try some of the previous
probe options again: we just need to find another tester with a USBAT2-based HP
CD writer.
This patch hardcodes the flash detection until someone comes along with one of
these obscure CD drives. Note that these devices are extremely rare, so even if
we can't ever find a decent probe method, at least we will be supporting almost
all of the USBAT-based hardware out there.

I've worked out what's going wrong. The scsi layer is now much
more likely to pass down scatterlists instead of plain buffers. So
you have to make sure that they're handled correctly. In one of the
changes along the way, usbat_write_block and friends stopped obeying
the srb->use_sg flag.
Anyway, with the appended patch, and the one I'm putting in the next email, it
all seems to work for the HP cd4e. Of course, someone's going to have
to test it with the flash drives as well....
This patch teaches the usbat_{read,write}_block functions to
obey the use_sg flag in the scsi-request.

Some hubs claim not to support port-power switching, and right now the
hub driver believes them and does not enable power to their ports.
However it turns out that even though they don't actually switch power,
they do ignore all events on a port until told to turn on the power!
This problem has been reported by several users.
This revised patch (as672b) makes the hub driver always try to turn on
port power to all hubs, regardless of what the hub descriptor says. It
also adds a comment explaining the need for this.

During the recent "isa drivers using platform devices" discussion it was
pointed out that (ALSA) ISA drivers ran into the problem of not having
the option to fail driver load (device registration rather) upon not
finding their hardware due to a probe() error not being passed up
through the driver model. In the course of that, I suggested a seperate
ISA bus might be best; Russell King agreed and suggested this bus could
use the .match() method for the actual device discovery.
The attached does this. For this old non (generically) discoverable ISA
hardware only the driver itself can do discovery so as a difference with
the platform_bus, this isa_bus also distributes match() up to the driver.
As another difference: these devices only exist in the driver model due
to the driver creating them because it might want to drive them, meaning
that all device creation has been made internal as well.
The usage model this provides is nice, and has been acked from the ALSA
side by Takashi Iwai and Jaroslav Kysela. The ALSA driver module_init's
now (for oldisa-only drivers) become:
static int __init alsa_card_foo_init(void)
{
return isa_register_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver, SNDRV_CARDS);
}
static void __exit alsa_card_foo_exit(void)
{
isa_unregister_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver);
}
Quite like the other bus models therefore. This removes a lot of
duplicated init code from the ALSA ISA drivers.
The passed in isa_driver struct is the regular driver struct embedding a
struct device_driver, the normal probe/remove/shutdown/suspend/resume
callbacks, and as indicated that .match callback.
The "SNDRV_CARDS" you see being passed in is a "unsigned int ndev"
parameter, indicating how many devices to create and call our methods with.
The platform_driver callbacks are called with a platform_device param;
the isa_driver callbacks are being called with a "struct device *dev,
unsigned int id" pair directly -- with the device creation completely
internal to the bus it's much cleaner to not leak isa_dev's by passing
them in at all. The id is the only thing we ever want other then the
struct device * anyways, and it makes for nicer code in the callbacks as
well.
With this additional .match() callback ISA drivers have all options. If
ALSA would want to keep the old non-load behaviour, it could stick all
of the old .probe in .match, which would only keep them registered after
everything was found to be present and accounted for. If it wanted the
behaviour of always loading as it inadvertently did for a bit after the
changeover to platform devices, it could just not provide a .match() and
do everything in .probe() as before.
If it, as Takashi Iwai already suggested earlier as a way of following
the model from saner buses more closely, wants to load when a later bind
could conceivably succeed, it could use .match() for the prerequisites
(such as checking the user wants the card enabled and that port/irq/dma
values have been passed in) and .probe() for everything else. This is
the nicest model.
To the code...
This exports only two functions; isa_{,un}register_driver().
isa_register_driver() register's the struct device_driver, and then
loops over the passed in ndev creating devices and registering them.
This causes the bus match method to be called for them, which is:
int isa_bus_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *driver)
{
struct isa_driver *isa_driver = to_isa_driver(driver);
if (dev->platform_data == isa_driver) {
if (!isa_driver->match ||
isa_driver->match(dev, to_isa_dev(dev)->id))
return 1;
dev->platform_data = NULL;
}
return 0;
}
The first thing this does is check if this device is in fact one of this
driver's devices by seeing if the device's platform_data pointer is set
to this driver. Platform devices compare strings, but we don't need to
do that with everything being internal, so isa_register_driver() abuses
dev->platform_data as a isa_driver pointer which we can then check here.
I believe platform_data is available for this, but if rather not, moving
the isa_driver pointer to the private struct isa_dev is ofcourse fine as
well.
Then, if the the driver did not provide a .match, it matches. If it did,
the driver match() method is called to determine a match.
If it did _not_ match, dev->platform_data is reset to indicate this to
isa_register_driver which can then unregister the device again.
If during all this, there's any error, or no devices matched at all
everything is backed out again and the error, or -ENODEV, is returned.
isa_unregister_driver() just unregisters the matched devices and the
driver itself.
More global points/questions...
- I'm introducing include/linux/isa.h. It was available but is ofcourse
a somewhat generic name. Moving more isa stuff over to it in time is
ofcourse fine, so can I have it please? :)
- I'm using device_initcall() and added the isa.o (dependent on
CONFIG_ISA) after the base driver model things in the Makefile. Will
this do, or I really need to stick it in drivers/base/init.c, inside
#ifdef CONFIG_ISA? It's working fine.
Lastly -- I also looked, a bit, into integrating with PnP. "Old ISA"
could be another pnp_protocol, but this does not seem to be a good
match, largely due to the same reason platform_devices weren't -- the
devices do not have a life of their own outside the driver, meaning the
pnp_protocol {get,set}_resources callbacks would need to callback into
driver -- which again means you first need to _have_ that driver. Even
if there's clean way around that, you only end up inventing fake but
valid-form PnP IDs and generally catering to the PnP layer without any
practical advantages over this very simple isa_bus. The thing I also
suggested earlier about the user echoing values into /sys to set up the
hardware from userspace first is... well, cute, but a horrible idea from
a user standpoint.
Comments ofcourse appreciated. Hope it's okay. As said, the usage model
is nice at least.
