[PATCH] usb: typec: fusb302: Drop unacknowledged Get_Source_Cap_Extended
From: Alexey Charkov
Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 08:58:28 EST
The chip mistakes Get_Source_Cap_Extended for a GoodCRC, as it apparently
decodes only the low four bits of the message type. As a result, it sends
no GoodCRC for it, but still queues it in the RX FIFO. The partner never
sees the message as delivered due to no GoodCRC, so it retries and then
sends a Soft_Reset. When FUSB302 receives the Soft_Reset, it finally
raises its interrupt, at which point TCPM sees Get_Source_Cap_Extended in
the RX FIFO instead of the Soft_Reset it just received, and answers it
Not_Supported, which is not a valid reply to Soft_Reset, so the partner
escalates to a hard reset instead of getting a chance to gracefully handle
a lost Get_Source_Cap_Extended.
Discard Get_Source_Cap_Extended, which FUSB302 can never properly receive
due to its inability to automatically GoodCRC it, and answering it from
the host within the protocol specified 250us window without so much as an
interrupt cannot be made to work.
This way the TCPM view of the PD exchange at least matches what the
partner saw on the wire. This lets the TCPM complete a PD negotiation over
the FUSB302 with e.g. an Apple Studio Display, which otherwise always ends
in hard resets.
