Subject: [RESEND PATCH v2] documentation: docbook: document process of
writing an musb glue layer
Document the process of writing an musb glue layer by taking the
Ingenic JZ4740 glue layer as an example, as it seems more simple than
most glue layers due to the basic feature set of the JZ4740 USB device
controller.

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

+ <title>Linux MUSB Basics</title>
+ <para>
+ To get started on the topic, please read USB On-the-Go Basics (see
+ Resources) which provides an introduction of USB OTG operation at
+ the hardware level. A couple of wiki pages by Texas Instruments
+ and Analog Devices also provide an overview of the Linux kernel
+ MUSB configuration, albeit focused on some specific devices
+ provided by these companies. Finally, getting acquainted with the
+ USB specification at USB home page may come in handy, with
+ practical instance provided through the Writing USB Device Drivers
+ documentation (again, see Resources).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Linux USB stack is a layered architecture in which the MUSB
+ controller hardware sits at the lowest. The MUSB controller driver
+ abstract the MUSB controller hardware to the Linux USB stack.

+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ As outlined above, the glue layer is actually the platform
+ specific code sitting in between the controller driver and the
+ controller hardware.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Just like a Linux USB driver needs to register itself with the
+ Linux USB subsystem, the MUSB glue layer needs first to register
+ itself with the MUSB controller driver. This will allow the
+ controller driver to know about which device the glue layer
+ supports and which functions to call when a supported device is
+ detected or released; remember we are talking about an embedded
+ controller chip here, so no insertion or removal at run-time.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ All of this information is passed to the MUSB controller driver
+ through a platform_driver structure defined in the glue layer as:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static struct platform_driver jz4740_driver = {
+ .probe = jz4740_probe,
+ .remove = jz4740_remove,
+ .driver = {
+ .name = "musb-jz4740",
+ },
+};
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ The probe and remove function pointers are called when a matching
+ device is detected and, respectively, released. The name string
+ describes the device supported by this glue layer. In the current
+ case it matches a platform_device structure declared in
+ arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c. Note that we are not using device
+ tree bindings here.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In order to register itself to the controller driver, the glue
+ layer goes through a few steps, basically allocating the
+ controller hardware resources and initialising a couple of
+ circuits. To do so, it needs to keep track of the information used
+ throughout these steps. This is done by defining a private
+ jz4740_glue structure:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+struct jz4740_glue {
+ struct device *dev;
+ struct platform_device *musb;
+ struct clk *clk;
+};
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ The dev and musb members are both device structure variables. The
+ first one holds generic information about the device, since it's
+ the basic device structure, and the latter holds information more
+ closely related to the subsystem the device is registered to. The
+ clk variable keeps information related to the device clock
+ operation.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Let's go through the steps of the probe function that leads the
+ glue layer to register itself to the controller driver.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ N.B.: For the sake of readability each function will be split in
+ logical parts, each part being shown as if it was independent from
+ the others.
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+{
+ struct platform_device *musb;
+ struct jz4740_glue *glue;
+ struct clk *clk;
+ int ret;
+
+ glue = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*glue), GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!glue)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ musb = platform_device_alloc("musb-hdrc", PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO);
+ if (!musb) {
+ dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to allocate musb device\n");
+ return -ENOMEM;
+ }
+
+ clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "udc");
+ if (IS_ERR(clk)) {
+ dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get clock\n");
+ ret = PTR_ERR(clk);
+ goto err_platform_device_put;
+ }
+
+ ret = clk_prepare_enable(clk);

+
+ return 0;
+
+err_platform_device_put:
+ platform_device_put(musb);
+ return ret;
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ The first few lines of the probe function allocate and assign the
+ glue, musb and clk variables. The GFP_KERNEL flag (line 8) allows
+ the allocation process to sleep and wait for memory, thus being
+ usable in a blocking situation. The PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO flag (line
+ 12) allows automatic allocation and management of device IDs in
+ order to avoid device namespace collisions with explicit IDs. With
+ devm_clk_get() (line 18) the glue layer allocates the clock -- the
+ <literal>devm_</literal> prefix indicates that clk_get() is
+ managed: it automatically frees the allocated clock resource data
+ when the device is released -- and enable it.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Then comes the registration steps:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+{
+ struct musb_hdrc_platform_data *pdata = &jz4740_musb_platform_data;
+
+ pdata->platform_ops = &jz4740_musb_ops;
+
+ platform_set_drvdata(pdev, glue);
+
+ ret = platform_device_add_resources(musb, pdev->resource,
+ pdev->num_resources);
+ if (ret) {
+ dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add resources\n");
+ goto err_clk_disable;
+ }
+
+ ret = platform_device_add_data(musb, pdata, sizeof(*pdata));
+ if (ret) {

+ goto err_clk_disable;
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+
+err_clk_disable:
+ clk_disable_unprepare(clk);
+err_platform_device_put:
+ platform_device_put(musb);
+ return ret;
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ The first step is to pass the device data privately held by the
+ glue layer on to the controller driver through
+ platform_set_drvdata() (line 7). Next is passing on the device
+ resources information, also privately held at that point, through
+ platform_device_add_resources() (line 9).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Finally comes passing on the platform specific data to the
+ controller driver (line 16). Platform data will be discussed in
+ <link linkend="device-platform-data">Chapter 4</link>, but here
+ we are looking at the platform_ops function pointer (line 5) in
+ musb_hdrc_platform_data structure (line 3). This function
+ pointer allows the MUSB controller driver to know which function
+ to call for device operation:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static const struct musb_platform_ops jz4740_musb_ops = {
+ .init = jz4740_musb_init,
+ .exit = jz4740_musb_exit,
+};
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ Here we have the minimal case where only init and exit functions
+ are called by the controller driver when needed. Fact is the
+ JZ4740 MUSB controller is a basic controller, lacking some
+ features found in other controllers, otherwise we may also have
+ pointers to a few other functions like a power management function
+ or a function to switch between OTG and non-OTG modes, for
+ instance.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ At that point of the registration process, the controller driver
+ actually calls the init function:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
+{
+ musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2);
+ if (!musb->xceiv) {
+ pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n");
+ return -ENODEV;
+ }
+
+ /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register.
+ * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware.
+ */
+ musb->dyn_fifo = true;
+
+ musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
+
+ return 0;
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ The goal of jz4740_musb_init() is to get hold of the transceiver
+ driver data of the MUSB controller hardware and pass it on to the
+ MUSB controller driver, as usual. The transceiver is the circuitry
+ inside the controller hardware responsible for sending/receiving
+ the USB data. Since it is an implementation of the physical layer
+ of the OSI model, the transceiver is also referred to as PHY.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Getting hold of the MUSB PHY driver data is done with
+ usb_get_phy() which returns a pointer to the structure
+ containing the driver instance data. The next couple of
+ instructions (line 12 and 14) are used as a quirk and to setup
+ IRQ handling respectively. Quirks and IRQ handling will be
+ discussed later in <link linkend="device-quirks">Chapter
+ 5</link> and <link linkend="handling-irqs">Chapter 3</link>.
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static int jz4740_musb_exit(struct musb *musb)
+{
+ usb_put_phy(musb->xceiv);
+
+ return 0;
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ Acting as the counterpart of init, the exit function releases the
+ MUSB PHY driver when the controller hardware itself is about to be
+ released.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Again, note that init and exit are fairly simple in this case due
+ to the basic set of features of the JZ4740 controller hardware.
+ When writing an musb glue layer for a more complex controller
+ hardware, you might need to take care of more processing in those
+ two functions.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Returning from the init function, the MUSB controller driver jumps
+ back into the probe function:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+{
+ ret = platform_device_add(musb);

+ goto err_clk_disable;

+ return 0;
+
+err_clk_disable:
+ clk_disable_unprepare(clk);
+err_platform_device_put:
+ platform_device_put(musb);
+ return ret;
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ This is the last part of the device registration process where the
+ glue layer adds the controller hardware device to Linux kernel
+ device hierarchy: at this stage, all known information about the
+ device is passed on to the Linux USB core stack.
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static int jz4740_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
+{

+
+ platform_device_unregister(glue->musb);
+ clk_disable_unprepare(glue->clk);
+
+ return 0;
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ Acting as the counterpart of probe, the remove function unregister
+ the MUSB controller hardware (line 5) and disable the clock (line
+ 6), allowing it to be gated.
+ </para>
+ </chapter>
+
+ <chapter id="handling-irqs">
+ <title>Handling IRQs</title>
+ <para>
+ Additionally to the MUSB controller hardware basic setup and
+ registration, the glue layer is also responsible for handling the
+ IRQs:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci)
+{
+ unsigned long flags;

+ musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX);
+ musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX);
+
+ /*

+ */
+ musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME |

+ retval = musb_interrupt(musb);
+
+ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags);
+
+ return retval;
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ Here the glue layer mostly has to read the relevant hardware
+ registers and pass their values on to the controller driver which
+ will handle the actual event that triggered the IRQ.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The interrupt handler critical section is protected by the
+ spin_lock_irqsave() and counterpart spin_unlock_irqrestore()
+ functions (line 7 and 24 respectively), which prevent the
+ interrupt handler code to be run by two different threads at the
+ same time.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Then the relevant interrupt registers are read (line 9 to 11):
+ </para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ MUSB_INTRUSB: indicates which USB interrupts are currently

+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>

+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ MUSB_INTRRX: indicates which of the interrupts for TX
+ endpoints are currently active.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ <para>
+ Note that musb_readb() is used to read 8-bit registers at most,
+ while musb_readw() allows us to read at most 16-bit registers.
+ There are other functions that can be used depending on the size
+ of your device registers. See musb_io.h for more information.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Instruction on line 18 is another quirk specific to the JZ4740
+ USB device controller, which will be discussed later in <link
+ linkend="device-quirks">Chapter 5</link>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The glue layer still needs to register the IRQ handler though.
+ Remember the instruction on line 14 of the init function:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
+{
+ musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
+
+ return 0;
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ This instruction sets a pointer to the glue layer IRQ handler
+ function, in order for the controller hardware to call the handler
+ back when an IRQ comes from the controller hardware. The interrupt
+ handler is now implemented and registered.
+ </para>
+ </chapter>
+
+ <chapter id="device-platform-data">
+ <title>Device Platform Data</title>
+ <para>
+ In order to write an MUSB glue layer, you need to have some data
+ describing the hardware capabilities of your controller hardware,
+ which is called the platform data.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Platform data is specific to your hardware, though it may cover a
+ broad range of devices, and is generally found somewhere in the

+ </para>
+ <para>
+ For instance, platform data for the JZ4740 SoC is found in

+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Here is the part of arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c that covers the
+ USB Device Controller (UDC):

+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">

+ <para>
+ The jz4740_udc_xceiv_device platform device structure (line 2)
+ describes the UDC transceiver with a name and id number.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ At the time of this writing, note that
+ "usb_phy_gen_xceiv" is the specific name to be used for
+ all transceivers that are either built-in with reference USB IP or
+ autonomous and doesn't require any PHY programming. You will need
+ to set CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV=y in the kernel configuration to make
+ use of the corresponding transceiver driver. The id field could be
+ set to -1 (equivalent to PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE), -2 (equivalent to
+ PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO) or start with 0 for the first device of this
+ kind if we want a specific id number.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The jz4740_udc_resources resource structure (line 7) defines the
+ UDC registers base addresses.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The first array (line 9 to 11) defines the UDC registers base
+ memory addresses: start points to the first register memory
+ address, end points to the last register memory address and the
+ flags member defines the type of resource we are dealing with. So
+ IORESOURCE_MEM is used to define the registers memory addresses.
+ The second array (line 14 to 17) defines the UDC IRQ registers
+ addresses. Since there is only one IRQ register available for the
+ JZ4740 UDC, start and end point at the same address. The
+ IORESOURCE_IRQ flag tells that we are dealing with IRQ resources,
+ and the name "mc" is in fact hard-coded in the MUSB core
+ in order for the controller driver to retrieve this IRQ resource
+ by querying it by its name.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Finally, the jz4740_udc_device platform device structure (line 21)
+ describes the UDC itself.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The "musb-jz4740" name (line 22) defines the MUSB
+ driver that is used for this device; remember this is in fact
+ the name that we used in the jz4740_driver platform driver
+ structure in <link linkend="linux-musb-basics">Chapter
+ 2</link>. The id field (line 23) is set to -1 (equivalent to
+ PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE) since we do not need an id for the device:
+ the MUSB controller driver was already set to allocate an
+ automatic id in <link linkend="linux-musb-basics">Chapter
+ 2</link>. In the dev field we care for DMA related information
+ here. The dma_mask field (line 25) defines the width of the DMA
+ mask that is going to be used, and coherent_dma_mask (line 26)
+ has the same purpose but for the alloc_coherent DMA mappings: in
+ both cases we are using a 32 bits mask. Then the resource field
+ (line 29) is simply a pointer to the resource structure defined
+ before, while the num_resources field (line 28) keeps track of
+ the number of arrays defined in the resource structure (in this
+ case there were two resource arrays defined before).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ With this quick overview of the UDC platform data at the arch/
+ level now done, let's get back to the MUSB glue layer specific
+ platform data in drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static struct musb_hdrc_config jz4740_musb_config = {
+ /* Silicon does not implement USB OTG. */
+ .multipoint = 0,
+ /* Max EPs scanned, driver will decide which EP can be used. */
+ .num_eps = 4,
+ /* RAMbits needed to configure EPs from table */
+ .ram_bits = 9,
+ .fifo_cfg = jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg,
+ .fifo_cfg_size = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg),
+};
+
+static struct musb_hdrc_platform_data jz4740_musb_platform_data = {
+ .mode = MUSB_PERIPHERAL,
+ .config = &jz4740_musb_config,
+};
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ First the glue layer configures some aspects of the controller
+ driver operation related to the controller hardware specifics.
+ This is done through the jz4740_musb_config musb_hdrc_config
+ structure.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Defining the OTG capability of the controller hardware, the
+ multipoint member (line 3) is set to 0 (equivalent to false)
+ since the JZ4740 UDC is not OTG compatible. Then num_eps (line
+ 5) defines the number of USB endpoints of the controller
+ hardware, including endpoint 0: here we have 3 endpoints +
+ endpoint 0. Next is ram_bits (line 7) which is the width of the
+ RAM address bus for the MUSB controller hardware. This
+ information is needed when the controller driver cannot
+ automatically configure endpoints by reading the relevant
+ controller hardware registers. This issue will be discussed when
+ we get to device quirks in <link linkend="device-quirks">Chapter
+ 5</link>. Last two fields (line 8 and 9) are also about device
+ quirks: fifo_cfg points to the USB endpoints configuration table
+ and fifo_cfg_size keeps track of the size of the number of
+ entries in that configuration table. More on that later in <link
+ linkend="device-quirks">Chapter 5</link>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Then this configuration is embedded inside
+ jz4740_musb_platform_data musb_hdrc_platform_data structure (line
+ 11): config is a pointer to the configuration structure itself,
+ and mode tells the controller driver if the controller hardware
+ may be used as MUSB_HOST only, MUSB_PERIPHERAL only or MUSB_OTG
+ which is a dual mode.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Remember that jz4740_musb_platform_data is then used to convey
+ platform data information as we have seen in the probe function
+ in <link linkend="linux-musb-basics">Chapter 2</link>
+ </para>
+ </chapter>
+
+ <chapter id="device-quirks">
+ <title>Device Quirks</title>
+ <para>
+ Completing the platform data specific to your device, you may also
+ need to write some code in the glue layer to work around some
+ device specific limitations. These quirks may be due to some
+ hardware bugs, or simply be the result of an incomplete
+ implementation of the USB On-the-Go specification.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The JZ4740 UDC exhibits such quirks, some of which we will discuss
+ here for the sake of insight even though these might not be found
+ in the controller hardware you are working on.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Let's get back to the init function first:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
+{
+ musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2);
+ if (!musb->xceiv) {
+ pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n");
+ return -ENODEV;
+ }
+
+ /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register.
+ * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware.
+ */
+ musb->dyn_fifo = true;
+
+ musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
+
+ return 0;
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ Instruction on line 12 helps the MUSB controller driver to work
+ around the fact that the controller hardware is missing registers
+ that are used for USB endpoints configuration.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Without these registers, the controller driver is unable to read
+ the endpoints configuration from the hardware, so we use line 12
+ instruction to bypass reading the configuration from silicon, and
+ rely on a hard-coded table that describes the endpoints
+ configuration instead:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static struct musb_fifo_cfg jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg[] = {
+{ .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 512, },
+{ .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_RX, .maxpacket = 512, },
+{ .hw_ep_num = 2, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 64, },
+};
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ Looking at the configuration table above, we see that each
+ endpoints is described by three fields: hw_ep_num is the endpoint
+ number, style is its direction (either FIFO_TX for the controller
+ driver to send packets in the controller hardware, or FIFO_RX to
+ receive packets from hardware), and maxpacket defines the maximum
+ size of each data packet that can be transmitted over that
+ endpoint. Reading from the table, the controller driver knows that
+ endpoint 1 can be used to send and receive USB data packets of 512
+ bytes at once (this is in fact a bulk in/out endpoint), and
+ endpoint 2 can be used to send data packets of 64 bytes at once
+ (this is in fact an interrupt endpoint).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note that there is no information about endpoint 0 here: that one
+ is implemented by default in every silicon design, with a
+ predefined configuration according to the USB specification. For
+ more examples of endpoint configuration tables, see musb_core.c.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Let's now get back to the interrupt handler function:
+ </para>
+ <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
+static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci)
+{
+ unsigned long flags;
+ irqreturn_t retval = IRQ_NONE;
+ struct musb *musb = __hci;
+
+ spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags);
+
+ musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB);
+ musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX);
+ musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX);
+
+ /*
+ * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is
+ * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will
+ * never see them set
+ */
+ musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME |
+ MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF;
+
+ if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx)
+ retval = musb_interrupt(musb);
+
+ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags);
+
+ return retval;
+}
+ </programlisting>
+ <para>
+ Instruction on line 18 above is a way for the controller driver to
+ work around the fact that some interrupt bits used for USB host
+ mode operation are missing in the MUSB_INTRUSB register, thus left
+ in an undefined hardware state, since this MUSB controller
+ hardware is used in peripheral mode only. As a consequence, the
+ glue layer masks these missing bits out to avoid parasite
+ interrupts by doing a logical AND operation between the value read
+ from MUSB_INTRUSB and the bits that are actually implemented in
+ the register.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ These are only a couple of the quirks found in the JZ4740 USB
+ device controller. Some others were directly addressed in the MUSB
+ core since the fixes were generic enough to provide a better
+ handling of the issues for others controller hardware eventually.
