Since EHCI/OHCI controllers on R-Car Gen3 SoCs are possible to
be getting stuck very rarely after a full/low usb device was
disconnected. To detect/recover from such a situation, the controllers
require a special way which poll the EHCI PORTSC register and changes
the OHCI functional state.

Hi Shimoda-san,

Thanks for your patch!

Oops... Is this limited to the EHCI/OHCI implementation on R-Car Gen3?
Or can it happen on any EHCI/OHCI controller?

If this issue is specific to the EHCI/OHCI implementation on R-Car Gen3,
I don't think this is the best solution to handle it.
It might be better to add family/SoC-specific compatible values for the
EHCI/OHCI controllers in R-Car Gen3 SoCs, cfr. the (undocumented)
"ibm,usb-ehci-440epx" and "allwinner,sun4i-a10-ehci" compatible values
in the example in the DT bindings file (probably we should have done so
from the start, like for all other devices).
Then the driver can handle the issue based on the compatible value.

Besides, what about DT backwards compatibility?
To enable this quirk handling, the DT must be updated first.
This is true for solutions based on either a DT property or on a
different compatible value.
Of course, you can always use soc_device_match()...

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

This is limited on R-Car Gen3 (and perhaps RZ/A2 and RZ/G2).
But, R-Mobile A1 and R-Car Gen1/2 don't have this issue.
And I don't know any other EHCI/OHCI controller has this issue.

I understood it. And I'm also think adding family/SoC-specific compatible
values are better.

In this case, I should apply this quirk to some SoCs,
I think using DT is better than soc_device_match().

I'm trying to add some undocumented compatible values, but it seems hard
to add because:
- Some dts[i] files have undocumented compatible strings.
 # We can find it by using the following command:
 # $ grep "generic-ehci" `find -name "*.dts*"` | grep ","

- I tried to use "oneOf:" and "contains:" combination, but it failed.

- This generic-ehci.yaml uses "contains:" for the compatible now.
  So, even if compatible property has undocumented compatible string,
  make dtbs_check command succeeded (except node names).

- In my opinion, almost all user (excect R-Car SoCs) doesn't needs
  specific compatible values, so that adding such compatible values
  causes less usability in the future.

So, I suspended adding specific compatible values and I'll use
soc_device_match() for this workaround for now...

Best regards,
Yoshihiro Shimoda

Probably you'll have to write a separate DT binding doc file for R-Car Gen3,
referring to generic-ehci.yaml using $ref.

Which has the advantage that it will enable the quirk with old DTBs, too ;-)

I see.

I think so :)
