A PD-capable device can return up to 3 Product Type VDOs as part of its
DiscoverIdentity Response (USB PD Spec, Rev 3.0, Version 2.0, Section
6.4.4.3.1). Add sysfs attributes to expose these to userspace.

Changes in v3:
- Split each product type VDO into a separate attribute.
- Changed sprintf() to sysfs_emit().
- Changed ABI documentation based on consolidation of identity VDO
  descriptions in the previous patch (1/2).

Changes in v2:
- Added sysfs_notify() call for the attribute.
- Added description for the attribute in
  Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-typec.

Hi All,

Was wondering if there were any comments on v3 of this series?

Best regards,

Sorry to keep you waiting with this...

I'm still wondering if the patch 2/2 is what we should use. Right now
I don't have really any better ideas. But give the rest of the week to
think about this.

thanks,

I've now come to the conclusion that this is not the correct approach.
Instead, the whole identity, all six VDOs, should be supplied
separately with a "raw" sysfs attribute file after all.

The three attribute files that we already have - so id_header,
cert_stat and product - can always supply the actual VDO as is,
regardless of the product type, so they are fine. But these new
attribute files, product_type_vdoX, would behave differently as they
supply different information depending on the product type. That just
does not feel right to me.

So lets just add the "raw" sysfs attribute file. We can think about
extracting some other details from the product type VDOs once the
specification has settled down a bit and we can be quite certain that
those details will always be available.

Would this be OK to you? I think we should be able to dump the data to
the "raw" sysfs attribute file with something like hex_dump_to_buffer().

Does this mean that the value of the attributes depends on something
external to the device?  If so, how is userspace going to know how to
parse this any differently than the kernel could today?

And I say this as the maintainer of 'lsusb' which probably should start
getting support for the typec attributes that are being exposed here :)

OK, this is great! I really want you opinion on this. Let me try to
explain the situation.

So USB Power Delivery specification defines a set of these product
types, as I'm sure you already know. You have your hub, alternate mode
adapter, and so on. Then there are also a couple of cable types.
Originally I though that a product type simply equals a device type
(and that still feels correct to me). Each product type can have its
own "ABI" in form of the attribute files, that really should not be a
problem, right?

The problem with that was that we do not always know the product type.
For example UCSI does not supply the operating system the response to
the Discover Identity request from the partner device that contains
this information. It would mean that depending on your system, we will
claim that, let's say a hub really is a hub, or just some kind of a
default partner device. There was discussion about this back in the
day on this mailing list, and it was considered to be at least a
little bit confusing for the user.

In the end I did not propose the separate device types for each USB PD
product type (yet). Instead we only expose the header part of the
response to the Discover Identity (when we have it) because that part
is the same for all product types. So basically we have just the
"default" partner device type for everything for now.

But since now we clearly need all the identity details, not just the
header, it's good to talk about this again. Maybe even the "raw"
attribute file is not that useful in the end, and we really should
finally introduce the separate device types for each product types?

Or maybe there is a third option that I have not even thought of?

thanks,

OOI: I'd like to understand the reservations around this approach. Can't
userspace just read these and then interpret them appropriately according
to the id_header as well as PD revision (and version number) if that's exposed?
The only thing I see changing is how we name those product_type_vdoX
sysfs files, i.e product_type_vdo0 == passive_cable_vdo OR active_cable_vdo1
depending on the product type.

That said, perhaps I'm missing some aspect of this.

FWIW, "raw" option SGTM (the product type VDOs can be parsed from the
buffer since the format is fixed).

I don't think the userspace should have to interpret any of these
VDOs. If the userspace has to interpret the information, then the
userspace should interpret everything for the sake of consistency (so
the "raw" attribute file).

But I still think that defining separate device types for every
product type would be the best way to handle the identity. We could
then have sysfs attribute files that are specific for each product
type. It does not even matter that some of the product types are going
to be removed. We will have to handle all of them in any case,
including the ones that were removed. This way things would be much
more clear for the userspace.

The only problem IMO with the separate device types for each product
type is that we don't always have access to the Discover Identity
result. It means depending on your system we will claim the
partner device type is "default" (no identity information) or the
actual product type. That is also a bit inconsistent, but is is
acceptable? I would really like to here what Greg thinks about all
this.

Well, I'm starting to think that what if we just prepare patches where
we propose separate device type for every product type? Of course, if
they are OK to you?

Thanks for explaining the rationale.
Of course, I defer to Greg & your decision on this :)

I'm yet unable to grasp what benefit userspace gets from having the kernel parse
and present this data in appropriately named sysfs files when the userspace has
enough info to do so itself.

For that reason and also because the "raw" approach is IMO a bit more
resilient to the changes
we talk about (some product type VDOs being dropped off across PD spec
uprevs [1] etc)
the "raw" proposal sounded appealing to me.

SG. To clarify, will you prepare these patches?

I'm not saying no to the "raw" proposal. I would prefer that we parse
the data for the userspace in this case, but if you guys think that it
is better to just let the userspace take care of that, then I'm fine
with that too.

I'll take a look at this. I can prepare something. Let's start with
the raw dump approach.

I'm now fine with this as it is, no more objections. I'll send the
"type2 attribute patch separately.

I think you need to rebase this too, but FWIW:
