MEMBERS

work
(internal use) Workqueue to be used for sysfs_notify
udc
struct usb_udc pointer for this gadget
ops
Function pointers used to access hardware-specific operations.
ep0
Endpoint zero, used when reading or writing responses to driver setup requests
ep_list
List of other endpoints supported by the device.
speed
Speed of current connection to USB host.
max_speed
Maximal speed the UDC can handle. UDC must support this and all slower speeds.
state
the state we are now (attached, suspended, configured, etc)
name
Identifies the controller hardware type. Used in diagnostics and sometimes configuration.
dev
Driver model state for this abstract device.
out_epnum
last used out ep number
in_epnum
last used in ep number
mA
last set mA value
otg_caps
OTG capabilities of this gadget.
sg_supported
true if we can handle scatter-gather
is_otg
True if the USB device port uses a Mini-AB jack, so that the gadget driver must provide a USB OTG descriptor.
is_a_peripheral
False unless is_otg, the “A” end of a USB cable is in the Mini-AB jack, and HNP has been used to switch roles so that the “A” device currently acts as A-Peripheral, not A-Host.
b_hnp_enable
OTG device feature flag, indicating that the A-Host enabled HNP support.
a_hnp_support
OTG device feature flag, indicating that the A-Host supports HNP at this port.
a_alt_hnp_support
OTG device feature flag, indicating that the A-Host only supports HNP on a different root port.
hnp_polling_support
OTG device feature flag, indicating if the OTG device in peripheral mode can support HNP polling.
host_request_flag
OTG device feature flag, indicating if A-Peripheral or B-Peripheral wants to take host role.
quirk_ep_out_aligned_size
epout requires buffer size to be aligned to MaxPacketSize.
is_selfpowered
if the gadget is self-powered.
deactivated
True if gadget is deactivated - in deactivated state it cannot be connected.
connected
True if gadget is connected.

DESCRIPTION

Gadgets have a mostly-portable “gadget driver” implementing device functions, handling all usb configurations and interfaces. Gadget drivers talk to hardware-specific code indirectly, through ops vectors. That insulates the gadget driver from hardware details, and packages the hardware endpoints through generic i/o queues. The “usb_gadget” and “usb_ep” interfaces provide that insulation from the hardware.
Except for the driver data, all fields in this structure are read-only to the gadget driver. That driver data is part of the “driver model” infrastructure in 2.6 (and later) kernels, and for earlier systems is grouped in a similar structure that's not known to the rest of the kernel.
Values of the three OTG device feature flags are updated before the setup call corresponding to USB_REQ_SET_CONFIGURATION, and before driver suspend calls. They are valid only when is_otg, and when the device is acting as a B-Peripheral (so is_a_peripheral is false).
