My devicetree:

usb_otg: usb@13440000 {
compatible = "ingenic,jz4770-musb", "simple-mfd";
reg = <0x13440000 0x10000>;
[...]

usb-role-switch;

connector {
compatible = "gpio-usb-b-connector", "usb-b-connector";
label = "mini-USB";
type = "mini";

id-gpios = <&gpf 18 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
vbus-gpios = <&gpb 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
[...]
};

usb_charger: usb-charger {
compatible = "usb-charger";
};
};

The new gpio-usb-connector driver uses the ID/VBUS GPIOs to detect in
which state (device, host, unconnected) a OTG connector is. However,
that means I cannot use the standard gpio-charger driver to detect the
presence of a charger based on the state of the VBUS gpio, since it's
already requested here. So the point of this patchset is to provide an
alternative to gpio-charger that works with OTG controllers compatible
with 'usb-role-switch'.


Thanks for explaining it.

What's the user for this USB charger, PMIC or what else? How the user uses
this USB charger interface?

It's exported as a standard charger, so it can be passed to client drivers through devicetree, and its online status can be retrieved from sysfs.
