>>> Richard: In HPE GXP virtual EHCI controller chipset, it can support up to 8 virtual devices(gadgets). Each device/gadget will be represented by a bit in 8 bits register. For example, the interrupt register bit 0 indicates the interrupt from device 0, bit 1 for device 1 ... so on.  When an user defines a device/gadget, he/she can define the device number as between 0 and 7. Thus, the driver can up to the bit position. That is why we have numbering devices as port of DT.

>>> Richard: In HPE GXP virtual EHCI Controller chipset, there is a flexible EP pool. Each flexible EP has its own mapping register. The mapping register bit 0 to 3 is for device number (vdevnum) and bit 4 to 7 is for EP number inside the device. The device driver configures the mapping register to assign a flexible EP to a specific device.  Here, "fepnum" is the input letting the driver know how many EP is needed for this device/gadget.

Unfortunately I don't see your answers... Or actually I am not sure what
is the answer and what is not. What is unusual, you did not quote my
email but quoted something else. Please send it again, but following
normal mailing list netiquette for replies.

Here is one:

Just don't use corporate style of emails on mailing list. We usually
cannot handle them...

Best regards,
