10The Linux MUSB subsystem is part of the larger Linux USB subsystem. It
11provides support for embedded USB Device Controllers (UDC) that do not
12use Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) or Open Host Controller
13Interface (OHCI).
14
15Instead, these embedded UDC rely on the USB On-the-Go (OTG)
16specification which they implement at least partially. The silicon
17reference design used in most cases is the Multipoint USB Highspeed
18Dual-Role Controller (MUSB HDRC) found in the Mentor Graphics Inventra™
19design.
20
21As a self-taught exercise I have written an MUSB glue layer for the
22Ingenic JZ4740 SoC, modelled after the many MUSB glue layers in the
23kernel source tree. This layer can be found at
24``drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c``. In this documentation I will walk through the
25basics of the ``jz4740.c`` glue layer, explaining the different pieces and
26what needs to be done in order to write your own device glue layer.

30Linux MUSB Basics
31=================
32
33To get started on the topic, please read USB On-the-Go Basics (see
34Resources) which provides an introduction of USB OTG operation at the
35hardware level. A couple of wiki pages by Texas Instruments and Analog
36Devices also provide an overview of the Linux kernel MUSB configuration,
37albeit focused on some specific devices provided by these companies.
38Finally, getting acquainted with the USB specification at USB home page
39may come in handy, with practical instance provided through the Writing
40USB Device Drivers documentation (again, see Resources).
41
42Linux USB stack is a layered architecture in which the MUSB controller
43hardware sits at the lowest. The MUSB controller driver abstract the
44MUSB controller hardware to the Linux USB stack::

61      |       aka "Glue Layer"        |

66      ---------------------------------
67
68As outlined above, the glue layer is actually the platform specific code
69sitting in between the controller driver and the controller hardware.
70
71Just like a Linux USB driver needs to register itself with the Linux USB
72subsystem, the MUSB glue layer needs first to register itself with the
73MUSB controller driver. This will allow the controller driver to know
74about which device the glue layer supports and which functions to call
75when a supported device is detected or released; remember we are talking
76about an embedded controller chip here, so no insertion or removal at
77run-time.
78
79All of this information is passed to the MUSB controller driver through
80a :c:type:`platform_driver` structure defined in the glue layer as::
81
82    static struct platform_driver jz4740_driver = {
83	.probe      = jz4740_probe,
84	.remove     = jz4740_remove,
85	.driver     = {
86	    .name   = "musb-jz4740",
87	},
88    };
89
90The probe and remove function pointers are called when a matching device
91is detected and, respectively, released. The name string describes the
92device supported by this glue layer. In the current case it matches a
93platform_device structure declared in ``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c``. Note
94that we are not using device tree bindings here.
95
96In order to register itself to the controller driver, the glue layer
97goes through a few steps, basically allocating the controller hardware
98resources and initialising a couple of circuits. To do so, it needs to
99keep track of the information used throughout these steps. This is done
100by defining a private ``jz4740_glue`` structure::
101
102    struct jz4740_glue {
103	struct device           *dev;
104	struct platform_device  *musb;
105	struct clk      *clk;
106    };
107
108
109The dev and musb members are both device structure variables. The first
110one holds generic information about the device, since it's the basic
111device structure, and the latter holds information more closely related
112to the subsystem the device is registered to. The clk variable keeps
113information related to the device clock operation.
114
115Let's go through the steps of the probe function that leads the glue
116layer to register itself to the controller driver.
117
118.. note::
119
120   For the sake of readability each function will be split in logical
121   parts, each part being shown as if it was independent from the others.
122
123.. code-block:: c
124    :emphasize-lines: 8,12,18
125
126    static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
127    {
128	struct platform_device      *musb;
129	struct jz4740_glue      *glue;
130	struct clk                      *clk;
131	int             ret;
132
133	glue = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*glue), GFP_KERNEL);
134	if (!glue)
135	    return -ENOMEM;
136
137	musb = platform_device_alloc("musb-hdrc", PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO);
138	if (!musb) {
139	    dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to allocate musb device\n");
140	    return -ENOMEM;
141	}
142
143	clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "udc");
144	if (IS_ERR(clk)) {
145	    dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get clock\n");
146	    ret = PTR_ERR(clk);
147	    goto err_platform_device_put;
148	}
149
150	ret = clk_prepare_enable(clk);
151	if (ret) {
152	    dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to enable clock\n");
153	    goto err_platform_device_put;
154	}
155
156	musb->dev.parent        = &pdev->dev;
157
158	glue->dev           = &pdev->dev;
159	glue->musb          = musb;
160	glue->clk           = clk;
161
162	return 0;
163
164    err_platform_device_put:
165	platform_device_put(musb);
166	return ret;
167    }
168
169The first few lines of the probe function allocate and assign the glue,
170musb and clk variables. The ``GFP_KERNEL`` flag (line 8) allows the
171allocation process to sleep and wait for memory, thus being usable in a
172locking situation. The ``PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO`` flag (line 12) allows
173automatic allocation and management of device IDs in order to avoid
174device namespace collisions with explicit IDs. With :c:func:`devm_clk_get`
175(line 18) the glue layer allocates the clock -- the ``devm_`` prefix
176indicates that :c:func:`clk_get` is managed: it automatically frees the
177allocated clock resource data when the device is released -- and enable
178it.
179
180
181
182Then comes the registration steps:
183
184.. code-block:: c
185    :emphasize-lines: 3,5,7,9,16
186
187    static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
188    {
189	struct musb_hdrc_platform_data  *pdata = &jz4740_musb_platform_data;
190
191	pdata->platform_ops     = &jz4740_musb_ops;
192
193	platform_set_drvdata(pdev, glue);
194
195	ret = platform_device_add_resources(musb, pdev->resource,
196			    pdev->num_resources);
197	if (ret) {
198	    dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add resources\n");
199	    goto err_clk_disable;
200	}
201
202	ret = platform_device_add_data(musb, pdata, sizeof(*pdata));
203	if (ret) {
204	    dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add platform_data\n");
205	    goto err_clk_disable;
206	}
207
208	return 0;
209
210    err_clk_disable:
211	clk_disable_unprepare(clk);
212    err_platform_device_put:
213	platform_device_put(musb);
214	return ret;
215    }
216
217The first step is to pass the device data privately held by the glue
218layer on to the controller driver through :c:func:`platform_set_drvdata`
219(line 7). Next is passing on the device resources information, also privately
220held at that point, through :c:func:`platform_device_add_resources` (line 9).
221
222Finally comes passing on the platform specific data to the controller
223driver (line 16). Platform data will be discussed in
224:ref:`musb-dev-platform-data`, but here we are looking at the
225``platform_ops`` function pointer (line 5) in ``musb_hdrc_platform_data``
226structure (line 3). This function pointer allows the MUSB controller
227driver to know which function to call for device operation::
228
229    static const struct musb_platform_ops jz4740_musb_ops = {
230	.init       = jz4740_musb_init,
231	.exit       = jz4740_musb_exit,
232    };
233
234Here we have the minimal case where only init and exit functions are
235called by the controller driver when needed. Fact is the JZ4740 MUSB
236controller is a basic controller, lacking some features found in other
237controllers, otherwise we may also have pointers to a few other
238functions like a power management function or a function to switch
239between OTG and non-OTG modes, for instance.
240
241At that point of the registration process, the controller driver
242actually calls the init function:
243
244   .. code-block:: c
245    :emphasize-lines: 12,14
246
247    static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
248    {
249	musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2);
250	if (!musb->xceiv) {
251	    pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n");
252	    return -ENODEV;
253	}
254
255	/* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register.
256	 * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware.
257	 */
258	musb->dyn_fifo = true;
259
260	musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
261
262	return 0;
263    }
264
265The goal of ``jz4740_musb_init()`` is to get hold of the transceiver
266driver data of the MUSB controller hardware and pass it on to the MUSB
267controller driver, as usual. The transceiver is the circuitry inside the
268controller hardware responsible for sending/receiving the USB data.
269Since it is an implementation of the physical layer of the OSI model,
270the transceiver is also referred to as PHY.
271
272Getting hold of the ``MUSB PHY`` driver data is done with ``usb_get_phy()``
273which returns a pointer to the structure containing the driver instance
274data. The next couple of instructions (line 12 and 14) are used as a
275quirk and to setup IRQ handling respectively. Quirks and IRQ handling
276will be discussed later in :ref:`musb-dev-quirks` and
277:ref:`musb-handling-irqs`\ ::
278
279    static int jz4740_musb_exit(struct musb *musb)
280    {
281	usb_put_phy(musb->xceiv);
282
283	return 0;
284    }
285
286Acting as the counterpart of init, the exit function releases the MUSB
287PHY driver when the controller hardware itself is about to be released.
288
289Again, note that init and exit are fairly simple in this case due to the
290basic set of features of the JZ4740 controller hardware. When writing an
291musb glue layer for a more complex controller hardware, you might need
292to take care of more processing in those two functions.
293
294Returning from the init function, the MUSB controller driver jumps back
295into the probe function::
296
297    static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
298    {
299	ret = platform_device_add(musb);
300	if (ret) {
301	    dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to register musb device\n");
302	    goto err_clk_disable;
303	}
304
305	return 0;
306
307    err_clk_disable:
308	clk_disable_unprepare(clk);
309    err_platform_device_put:
310	platform_device_put(musb);
311	return ret;
312    }
313
314This is the last part of the device registration process where the glue
315layer adds the controller hardware device to Linux kernel device
316hierarchy: at this stage, all known information about the device is
317passed on to the Linux USB core stack:
318
319   .. code-block:: c
320    :emphasize-lines: 5,6
321
322    static int jz4740_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
323    {
324	struct jz4740_glue  *glue = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
325
326	platform_device_unregister(glue->musb);
327	clk_disable_unprepare(glue->clk);
328
329	return 0;
330    }
331
332Acting as the counterpart of probe, the remove function unregister the
333MUSB controller hardware (line 5) and disable the clock (line 6),
334allowing it to be gated.
335
336.. _musb-handling-irqs:
337
338Handling IRQs
339=============
340
341Additionally to the MUSB controller hardware basic setup and
342registration, the glue layer is also responsible for handling the IRQs:
343
344   .. code-block:: c
345    :emphasize-lines: 7,9-11,14,24
346
347    static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci)
348    {
349	unsigned long   flags;
350	irqreturn_t     retval = IRQ_NONE;
351	struct musb     *musb = __hci;
352
353	spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags);
354
355	musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB);
356	musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX);
357	musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX);
358
359	/*
360	 * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is
361	 * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will
362	 * never see them set
363	 */
364	musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME |
365	    MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF;
366
367	if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx)
368	    retval = musb_interrupt(musb);
369
370	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags);
371
372	return retval;
373    }
374
375Here the glue layer mostly has to read the relevant hardware registers
376and pass their values on to the controller driver which will handle the
377actual event that triggered the IRQ.
378
379The interrupt handler critical section is protected by the
380:c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave` and counterpart :c:func:`spin_unlock_irqrestore`
381functions (line 7 and 24 respectively), which prevent the interrupt
382handler code to be run by two different threads at the same time.
383
384Then the relevant interrupt registers are read (line 9 to 11):
385
386-  ``MUSB_INTRUSB``: indicates which USB interrupts are currently active,
387
388-  ``MUSB_INTRTX``: indicates which of the interrupts for TX endpoints are
389   currently active,
390
391-  ``MUSB_INTRRX``: indicates which of the interrupts for TX endpoints are
392   currently active.
393
394Note that :c:func:`musb_readb` is used to read 8-bit registers at most, while
395:c:func:`musb_readw` allows us to read at most 16-bit registers. There are
396other functions that can be used depending on the size of your device
397registers. See ``musb_io.h`` for more information.
398
399Instruction on line 18 is another quirk specific to the JZ4740 USB
400device controller, which will be discussed later in :ref:`musb-dev-quirks`.
401
402The glue layer still needs to register the IRQ handler though. Remember
403the instruction on line 14 of the init function::
404
405    static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
406    {
407	musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
408
409	return 0;
410    }
411
412This instruction sets a pointer to the glue layer IRQ handler function,
413in order for the controller hardware to call the handler back when an
414IRQ comes from the controller hardware. The interrupt handler is now
415implemented and registered.
416
417.. _musb-dev-platform-data:
418
419Device Platform Data
420====================
421
422In order to write an MUSB glue layer, you need to have some data
423describing the hardware capabilities of your controller hardware, which
424is called the platform data.
425
426Platform data is specific to your hardware, though it may cover a broad
427range of devices, and is generally found somewhere in the ``arch/``
428directory, depending on your device architecture.
429
430For instance, platform data for the JZ4740 SoC is found in
431``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c``. In the ``platform.c`` file each device of the
432JZ4740 SoC is described through a set of structures.
433
434Here is the part of ``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c`` that covers the USB
435Device Controller (UDC):
436
437   .. code-block:: c
438    :emphasize-lines: 2,7,14-17,21,22,25,26,28,29
439
440    /* USB Device Controller */
441    struct platform_device jz4740_udc_xceiv_device = {
442	.name = "usb_phy_gen_xceiv",
443	.id   = 0,
444    };
445
446    static struct resource jz4740_udc_resources[] = {
447	[0] = {
448	    .start = JZ4740_UDC_BASE_ADDR,
449	    .end   = JZ4740_UDC_BASE_ADDR + 0x10000 - 1,
450	    .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
451	},
452	[1] = {
453	    .start = JZ4740_IRQ_UDC,
454	    .end   = JZ4740_IRQ_UDC,
455	    .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ,
456	    .name  = "mc",
457	},
458    };
459
460    struct platform_device jz4740_udc_device = {
461	.name = "musb-jz4740",
462	.id   = -1,
463	.dev  = {
464	    .dma_mask          = &jz4740_udc_device.dev.coherent_dma_mask,
465	    .coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32),
466	},
467	.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_udc_resources),
468	.resource      = jz4740_udc_resources,
469    };
470
471The ``jz4740_udc_xceiv_device`` platform device structure (line 2)
472describes the UDC transceiver with a name and id number.
473
474At the time of this writing, note that ``usb_phy_gen_xceiv`` is the
475specific name to be used for all transceivers that are either built-in
476with reference USB IP or autonomous and doesn't require any PHY
477programming. You will need to set ``CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV=y`` in the
478kernel configuration to make use of the corresponding transceiver
479driver. The id field could be set to -1 (equivalent to
480``PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE``), -2 (equivalent to ``PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO``) or
481start with 0 for the first device of this kind if we want a specific id
482number.
483
484The ``jz4740_udc_resources`` resource structure (line 7) defines the UDC
485registers base addresses.
486
487The first array (line 9 to 11) defines the UDC registers base memory
488addresses: start points to the first register memory address, end points
489to the last register memory address and the flags member defines the
490type of resource we are dealing with. So ``IORESOURCE_MEM`` is used to
491define the registers memory addresses. The second array (line 14 to 17)
492defines the UDC IRQ registers addresses. Since there is only one IRQ
493register available for the JZ4740 UDC, start and end point at the same
494address. The ``IORESOURCE_IRQ`` flag tells that we are dealing with IRQ
495resources, and the name ``mc`` is in fact hard-coded in the MUSB core in
496order for the controller driver to retrieve this IRQ resource by
497querying it by its name.
498
499Finally, the ``jz4740_udc_device`` platform device structure (line 21)
500describes the UDC itself.
501
502The ``musb-jz4740`` name (line 22) defines the MUSB driver that is used
503for this device; remember this is in fact the name that we used in the
504``jz4740_driver`` platform driver structure in :ref:`musb-basics`.
505The id field (line 23) is set to -1 (equivalent to ``PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE``)
506since we do not need an id for the device: the MUSB controller driver was
507already set to allocate an automatic id in :ref:`musb-basics`. In the dev field
508we care for DMA related information here. The ``dma_mask`` field (line 25)
509defines the width of the DMA mask that is going to be used, and
510``coherent_dma_mask`` (line 26) has the same purpose but for the
511``alloc_coherent`` DMA mappings: in both cases we are using a 32 bits mask.
512Then the resource field (line 29) is simply a pointer to the resource
513structure defined before, while the ``num_resources`` field (line 28) keeps
514track of the number of arrays defined in the resource structure (in this
515case there were two resource arrays defined before).
516
517With this quick overview of the UDC platform data at the ``arch/`` level now
518done, let's get back to the MUSB glue layer specific platform data in
519``drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c``:
520
521   .. code-block:: c
522    :emphasize-lines: 3,5,7-9,11
523
524    static struct musb_hdrc_config jz4740_musb_config = {
525	/* Silicon does not implement USB OTG. */
526	.multipoint = 0,
527	/* Max EPs scanned, driver will decide which EP can be used. */
528	.num_eps    = 4,
529	/* RAMbits needed to configure EPs from table */
530	.ram_bits   = 9,
531	.fifo_cfg = jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg,
532	.fifo_cfg_size = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg),
533    };
534
535    static struct musb_hdrc_platform_data jz4740_musb_platform_data = {
536	.mode   = MUSB_PERIPHERAL,
537	.config = &jz4740_musb_config,
538    };
539
540First the glue layer configures some aspects of the controller driver
541operation related to the controller hardware specifics. This is done
542through the ``jz4740_musb_config`` :c:type:`musb_hdrc_config` structure.
543
544Defining the OTG capability of the controller hardware, the multipoint
545member (line 3) is set to 0 (equivalent to false) since the JZ4740 UDC
546is not OTG compatible. Then ``num_eps`` (line 5) defines the number of USB
547endpoints of the controller hardware, including endpoint 0: here we have
5483 endpoints + endpoint 0. Next is ``ram_bits`` (line 7) which is the width
549of the RAM address bus for the MUSB controller hardware. This
550information is needed when the controller driver cannot automatically
551configure endpoints by reading the relevant controller hardware
552registers. This issue will be discussed when we get to device quirks in
553:ref:`musb-dev-quirks`. Last two fields (line 8 and 9) are also
554about device quirks: ``fifo_cfg`` points to the USB endpoints configuration
555table and ``fifo_cfg_size`` keeps track of the size of the number of
556entries in that configuration table. More on that later in
557:ref:`musb-dev-quirks`.
558
559Then this configuration is embedded inside ``jz4740_musb_platform_data``
560:c:type:`musb_hdrc_platform_data` structure (line 11): config is a pointer to
561the configuration structure itself, and mode tells the controller driver
562if the controller hardware may be used as ``MUSB_HOST`` only,
563``MUSB_PERIPHERAL`` only or ``MUSB_OTG`` which is a dual mode.
564
565Remember that ``jz4740_musb_platform_data`` is then used to convey
566platform data information as we have seen in the probe function in
567:ref:`musb-basics`.

571Device Quirks
572=============
573
574Completing the platform data specific to your device, you may also need
575to write some code in the glue layer to work around some device specific
576limitations. These quirks may be due to some hardware bugs, or simply be
577the result of an incomplete implementation of the USB On-the-Go
578specification.
579
580The JZ4740 UDC exhibits such quirks, some of which we will discuss here
581for the sake of insight even though these might not be found in the
582controller hardware you are working on.
583
584Let's get back to the init function first:
585
586   .. code-block:: c
587    :emphasize-lines: 12
588
589    static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
590    {
591	musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2);
592	if (!musb->xceiv) {
593	    pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n");
594	    return -ENODEV;
595	}
596
597	/* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register.
598	 * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware.
599	 */
600	musb->dyn_fifo = true;
601
602	musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
603
604	return 0;
605    }
606
607Instruction on line 12 helps the MUSB controller driver to work around
608the fact that the controller hardware is missing registers that are used
609for USB endpoints configuration.
610
611Without these registers, the controller driver is unable to read the
612endpoints configuration from the hardware, so we use line 12 instruction
613to bypass reading the configuration from silicon, and rely on a
614hard-coded table that describes the endpoints configuration instead::
615
616    static struct musb_fifo_cfg jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg[] = {
617	{ .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 512, },
618	{ .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_RX, .maxpacket = 512, },
619	{ .hw_ep_num = 2, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 64, },
620    };
621
622Looking at the configuration table above, we see that each endpoints is
623described by three fields: ``hw_ep_num`` is the endpoint number, style is
624its direction (either ``FIFO_TX`` for the controller driver to send packets
625in the controller hardware, or ``FIFO_RX`` to receive packets from
626hardware), and maxpacket defines the maximum size of each data packet
627that can be transmitted over that endpoint. Reading from the table, the
628controller driver knows that endpoint 1 can be used to send and receive
629USB data packets of 512 bytes at once (this is in fact a bulk in/out
630endpoint), and endpoint 2 can be used to send data packets of 64 bytes
631at once (this is in fact an interrupt endpoint).
632
633Note that there is no information about endpoint 0 here: that one is
634implemented by default in every silicon design, with a predefined
635configuration according to the USB specification. For more examples of
636endpoint configuration tables, see ``musb_core.c``.
637
638Let's now get back to the interrupt handler function:
639
640   .. code-block:: c
641    :emphasize-lines: 18-19
642
643    static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci)
644    {
645	unsigned long   flags;
646	irqreturn_t     retval = IRQ_NONE;
647	struct musb     *musb = __hci;
648
649	spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags);
650
651	musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB);
652	musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX);
653	musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX);
654
655	/*
656	 * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is
657	 * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will
658	 * never see them set
659	 */
660	musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME |
661	    MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF;
662
663	if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx)
664	    retval = musb_interrupt(musb);
665
666	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags);
667
668	return retval;
669    }
670
671Instruction on line 18 above is a way for the controller driver to work
672around the fact that some interrupt bits used for USB host mode
673operation are missing in the ``MUSB_INTRUSB`` register, thus left in an
674undefined hardware state, since this MUSB controller hardware is used in
675peripheral mode only. As a consequence, the glue layer masks these
676missing bits out to avoid parasite interrupts by doing a logical AND
677operation between the value read from ``MUSB_INTRUSB`` and the bits that
678are actually implemented in the register.
679
680These are only a couple of the quirks found in the JZ4740 USB device
681controller. Some others were directly addressed in the MUSB core since
682the fixes were generic enough to provide a better handling of the issues
683for others controller hardware eventually.
684
685Conclusion
686==========
687
688Writing a Linux MUSB glue layer should be a more accessible task, as
689this documentation tries to show the ins and outs of this exercise.
690
691The JZ4740 USB device controller being fairly simple, I hope its glue
692layer serves as a good example for the curious mind. Used with the
693current MUSB glue layers, this documentation should provide enough
694guidance to get started; should anything gets out of hand, the linux-usb
695mailing list archive is another helpful resource to browse through.
