S3C24XX USB Host support
========================



Introduction
------------

This document details the S3C2410/S3C2440 in-built OHCI USB host support.

Configuration
-------------

Enable at least the following kernel options:

menuconfig:

Device Drivers --->
USB support --->
<*> Support for Host-side USB
<*> OHCI HCD support


.config:
CONFIG_USB
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD


Once these options are configured, the standard set of USB device
drivers can be configured and used.


Board Support
-------------

The driver attaches to a platform device, which will need to be
added by the board specific support file in linux/arch/arm/mach-s3c2410,
such as mach-bast.c or mach-smdk2410.c

The platform device's platform_data field is only needed if the
board implements extra power control or over-current monitoring.

The OHCI driver does not ensure the state of the S3C2410's MISCCTRL
register, so if both ports are to be used for the host, then it is
the board support file's responsibility to ensure that the second
port is configured to be connected to the OHCI core.


Platform Data
-------------

See linux/include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410/usb-control.h for the
descriptions of the platform device data. An implementation
can be found in linux/arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/usb-simtec.c .

The `struct s3c2410_hcd_info` contains a pair of functions
that get called to enable over-current detection, and to
control the port power status.

The ports are numbered 0 and 1.

power_control:

Called to enable or disable the power on the port.

enable_oc:

Called to enable or disable the over-current monitoring.
This should claim or release the resources being used to
check the power condition on the port, such as an IRQ.

report_oc:

The OHCI driver fills this field in for the over-current code
to call when there is a change to the over-current state on
an port. The ports argument is a bitmask of 1 bit per port,
with bit X being 1 for an over-current on port X.

The function s3c2410_usb_report_oc() has been provided to
ensure this is called correctly.

port[x]:

This is struct describes each port, 0 or 1. The platform driver
should set the flags field of each port to S3C_HCDFLG_USED if
the port is enabled.

First step in using inotify is to initialise an inotify instance:

int fd = inotify_init ();

Each instance is associated with a unique, ordered queue.

Change events are managed by "watches". A watch is an (object,mask) pair where

inotify events that the application wishes to receive. See <linux/inotify.h>

Adding a watch is simple:

int wd = inotify_add_watch (fd, path, mask);

You can add a large number of files via something like

for each file to watch {
int wd = inotify_add_watch (fd, file, mask);
}
Where "fd" is the return value from inotify_init(), path is the path to the
object to watch, and mask is the watch mask (see <linux/inotify.h>).

You can update an existing watch in the same manner, by passing in a new mask.

An existing watch is removed via the INOTIFY_IGNORE ioctl, for example
An existing watch is removed via

inotify_rm_watch (fd, wd);
int ret = inotify_rm_watch (fd, wd);

Events are provided in the form of an inotify_event structure that is read(2)
from a inotify instance fd. The filename is of dynamic length and follows the
struct. It is of size len. The filename is padded with null bytes to ensure
proper alignment. This padding is reflected in len.

You can slurp multiple events by passing a large buffer, for example

size_t len = read (fd, buf, BUF_LEN);

A watch consumes less memory than an open file, separating the number

Obtaining the fd and managing the watches could have been done either via a
device file or a family of new system calls. We decided to implement a
family of system calls because that is the preffered approach for new kernel
features and it means our user interface requirements.
