commit68d07f64b8upstream Intel has a PCI USB xhci host controller on a new platform. It doesn't have a line IRQ definition in BIOS. The Linux driver refuses to initialize this controller, but Windows works well because it only depends on MSI. Actually, Linux also can work for MSI. This patch avoids the line IRQ checking for USB3 HCDs in usb core PCI probe. It allows the xHCI driver to try to enable MSI or MSI-X first. It will fail the probe if MSI enabling failed and there's no legacy PCI IRQ. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.32. [Maintainer note: This patch is a backport of commit68d07f64b8"USB: Don't fail USB3 probe on missing legacy PCI IRQ." to the 3.0 kernel. Note, the original patch description was wrong. We should not back port this to kernels older than 2.6.36, since that was the first kernel to support MSI and MSI-X for xHCI hosts. These systems will just not work without MSI support, so the probe should fail on kernels older than 2.6.36.] Signed-off-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
