Subject: [PATCH 2/4] usb: core: Pair ports of different hubs through their connector
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 07:20:07 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110-usb-port-pairing-v1-2-9307e29d2ed2@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110-usb-port-pairing-v1-0-9307e29d2ed2@gmail.com>

From: Arun Iyengar <aiyengar1990@gmail.com>

A USB 3 port is two ports to the USB core, a USB 2.0 one and a
SuperSpeed one, and the core pairs them as peers. Root hub ports are
paired with the same port number of the other root hub of the same
xHCI, unless ACPI gives their locations.

Some SoCs route the two halves of a connector to different host
controllers. On the Rockchip RK3588, USB 3.0 host 2 is SuperSpeed-only:
its own USB 2.0 root hub port is not wired to a PHY, and the connector's
USB 2.0 lines go to a separate EHCI instead. Default pairing then joins
the SuperSpeed port to a dead USB 2.0 port, and nothing knows about the
EHCI port that really shares the connector.

A usb-connector node describes its USB 2.0 data lines as graph port 0
and its SuperSpeed lanes as graph port 1. When a hub's or host
controller's graph links one of its ports to a connector whose other
half leads to a different hub or host controller, pair the port with
that one instead, and keep it out of the default pairing. Connectors
whose two halves end on the same node, like a Type-C connector on a
DWC3, keep the default pairing.

This lets the runtime PM rules for peers (keep the SuperSpeed port
powered while its USB 2.0 peer is) apply to such connectors too.
