This commit adds a new trigger responsible for turning on LED when USB
device gets connected to the selected USB port. This can can useful for
various home routers that have USB port(s) and a proper LED telling user
a device is connected.
The trigger gets its documentation file but basically it just requires
enabling it and selecting USB ports (e.g. echo 1 > ports/usb1-1).
There was a long discussion on design of this driver. Its current state
is a result of picking them most adjustable solution as others couldn't
handle all cases.
1) It wasn't possible for the driver to register separated trigger for
each USB port. Some physical USB ports are handled by more than one
controller and so by more than one USB port. E.g. USB 2.0 physical
port may be handled by OHCI's port and EHCI's port.
It's also not possible to assign more than 1 trigger to a single LED
and implementing such feature would be tricky due to syncing triggers
and sysfs conflicts with old triggers.
2) Another idea was to register trigger per USB hub. This wouldn't allow
handling devices with multiple USB LEDs and controllers (hubs)
controlling more than 1 physical port. It's common for hubs to have
few ports and each may have its own LED.
This final trigger is highly flexible. It allows selecting any USB ports
for any LED. It was also modified (comparing to the initial version) to
allow choosing ports rather than having user /guess/ proper names. It
was successfully tested on SmartRG SR400ac which has 3 USB LEDs,
2 physical ports and 3 controllers.
It was noted USB subsystem already has usb-gadget and usb-host triggers
but they are pretty trivial ones. They indicate activity only and can't
have ports specified.
In future it may be good idea to consider adding activity support to
usbport as well. This should allow switching to this more generic driver
and maybe marking old ones as obsolete.
This can be implemented with another sysfs file for setting mode. The
default mode wouldn't change so there won't be ABI breakage and so such
feature can be safely implemented later.
There was also an idea of supporting other devices (PCI, SDIO, etc.) but
as this driver already contains some USB specific code (and will get
more) these should be probably separated drivers (triggers).

The helper usb_of_get_child_node is defined at of.c, but missing its
declare as a global function. Fix it by adding related header file
as well as compile it on conditional of CONFIG_OF.

Although most of USB devices are hot-plug's, there are still some devices
are hard wired on the board, eg, for HSIC and SSIC interface USB devices.
If these kinds of USB devices are multiple functions, and they can supply
other interfaces like i2c, gpios for other devices, we may need to
describe these at device tree.
In this commit, it uses "reg" in dts as physical port number to match
the phyiscal port number decided by USB core, if they are the same,
then the device node is for the device we are creating for USB core.

CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is going away, so remove the few places in the USB core
that relied on them.
This means that we always now do the "debug" checks for every urb
submitted, which is a good idea, as who knows how many driver bugs we
have been ignoring when people forget to enable this option. Also, with
the overall speed of USB, doing these extra checks should not cause any
additional overhead.
Also, no longer announce all devices being added to the system if
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is enabled, as it's not going to be around much longer.

This option has been deprecated for many years now, and no userspace

People are very used to the devices file in usbfs. Now that we have
moved usbfs to be an "embedded" option only, the developers miss the
file, they had grown quite attached to it over all of these years. This
patch brings it back and puts it in the usb debugfs directory, so that
the developers don't feel sad anymore.

This revised patch (as713b) moves a few routines among source files in
usbcore. Some driver-related code in usb.c (claiming interfaces and
matching IDs) is moved to driver.c, where it belongs. Also the
usb_generic stuff in driver.c is moved to a new source file: generic.c.
(That's the reason for revising the patch.) Although not very big now,
it will get bigger in a later patch.
None of the code has been changed; it has only been re-arranged.

This patch introduces a /sys/class/usb_device/ class
where every connected usb-device will show up:
tree /sys/class/usb_device/
/sys/class/usb_device/
|-- usb1.1
| |-- dev
| `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1
|-- usb2.1
| |-- dev
| `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2
...
The presence of the "dev" file lets udev create real device nodes.
kay@pim:~/src/linux-2.6> tree /dev/bus/usb/
/dev/bus/usb/
|-- 1
| `-- 1
|-- 2
| `-- 1
...
udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usb_device %k", NAME="%c"
(echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usb\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/')
This makes libusb pick up the real nodes instead of the mounted usbfs:
export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb
Background:
All this makes it possible to manage usb devices with udev instead of
the devfs solution. We are currently working on a pam_console/resmgr
replacement driven by udev and a pam-helper. It applies ACL's to device
nodes, which is required for modern desktop functionalty like
"Fast User Switching" or multiple local login support.
New patch with its own major. I've succesfully disabled usbfs and use real
nodes only on my box. With: "export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb" libusb picks
up the udev managed nodes instead of reading usbfs files.
This makes udev to provide symlinks for libusb to pick up:
SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usbdevice %k", SYMLINK="%c"
/sbin/usbdevice:
#!/bin/sh
echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usbdev\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/'

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
