Force db410c to host mode to fix network issue which results in failure

Use fdtoverlay command to merge base device tree with an overlay
which contains the fix for USB controllers to work in host mode.

v2:
- Use fdtoverlay command to merge overlay dtbo with the base dtb instead of modifying the kernel sources

Can we use normal dtso syntax here instead of defining fragments manually?

What Dmitry is hinting about is to use the "Sugar Syntax". There a good documentation here:
https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/dto/syntax


With the below DTO syntax,
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

&usb {
usb@78d9000 {
dr_mode = "host";
};
};

Decoded dtbo file is,
/dts-v1/;

/ {

fragment@0 {
target = <0xffffffff>;

__overlay__ {

usb@78d9000 {
dr_mode = "host";
};
};
};

__fixups__ {
usb = "/fragment@0:target:0";
};
};

With the previous fix using fragment we get,
/ {

fragment@0 {
target-path = "/soc@0";

__overlay__ {

usb@78d9000 {
dr_mode = "host";
};
};
};
};

Decoded apq8016-sbc.dtb file with the fix (setting dr_mode to host) is,
/dts-v1/;
/ {
soc@0 {
usb@78d9000 {
dr_mode = "host";
};
};
};

How can set the target to "soc@0" using the DTO syntax?

To strictly answer your question, that would be something like

&{/soc@0} {
usb@78d9000 {
dr_mode = "host";
};
};

You can simplify this further however by doing:


&{/soc@0/usb@78d9000} {
dr_mode = "host";
};

The above works. Thanks.


Also, that node actually has a label ("usb"), defined here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/msm8916.dtsi#n2322

So you can end up with

&usb {
dr_mode = "host";
};

... which is the simplest and thus more robust one.


Should it be,
&{/soc@0/usb} {
dr_mode = "host";
};

I will send a v3 version for this. Thank you.

Vignesh
