that's a parent -> child relationship. What we have on this case is:
-------------- ---------------
| | | | |\
| UHH | clocks, etc | USBTLL | | |
| | <==========> | | <======> | | <====> ports
| ------- | | (Transceiver- | | |
| | EHCI | | | less Link) | |/
| ------- | | | Port MUX
| | | |
| ------- | | |
| | OHCI | | | |
| ------- | | |
| | | |
-------------- ---------------
It doesn't shown here, but the TLL link is completely optional. It's
mainly used for modem integration, IIRC. Still, if we're using TLL, EHCI
and OHCI will depend on a clock provided by the USBTLL block.
Clearly, USBTLL isn't either a parent of UHH, nor a parent of EHCI/OHCI
blocks. We can, from a code perspective, make USBTLL into a parent of
UHH to make things simpler, but this will mean that calling
pm_runtime_get() will also unconditionaly turn on TLL clock, unless we
add some nasty hacks to allow TLL know if *HCI port is in TLL mode.
That's why I decided for making TLL and UHH siblings, because that's a
closer relationship than parent-child.
Can you see the problem now ?
ps: the best picture is on TI's OMAP4430 TRM (it's publicly available
from TI's website). So, if you want a better rendering of the
integration model, take a look at chapter 23.
