I just realized that this patch breaks "usb start" on my mx53loco board:
The device is not found at the first attempt. Obviously, a value of 10 for bPwrOn2PwrGood seems too short but 20 works fine. Would that be a resonable compromise? If yes, I could send a patch.
This doesn't match the EHCI standard which explicity states that the power should be good after 20ms (paragraph 2.3.9 in EHCI 1.0), so we should probably find whether we are missing another delay somewhere in the generic EHCI code (which used to be hidden and should be fixed) or if i.MX53 is not compliant with the standard and need a special quirk.
I'm not an USB expert but if I look into the hub_power_on() function of the Linux kernel it waits at least 100ms (and only once). See:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.1.5/drivers/usb/core/hub.c#L567
I would prefer a solution in line with the specification, but what is the reason why Linux takes 100 msec here? Is that just chosen randomly , or was there a good reason for it? If there is a good reason (which I assume) I would prefer to follow Linux here and go for the 100 msec.
Can you please provide a patch?
Kind regards,
Remy
