};
MEMBERS
label
For diagnostics, describes the configuration.
strings
Tables of strings, keyed by identifiers assigned during bind() and by language IDs provided in control requests.
descriptors
Table of descriptors preceding all function descriptors. Examples include OTG and vendor-specific descriptors.
bind
Called from usb_add_config() to allocate resources unique to this configuration and to call usb_add_function() for each function used.
unbind
Reverses bind; called as a side effect of unregistering the driver which added this configuration.
setup
Used to delegate control requests that aren't handled by standard device infrastructure or directed at a specific interface.
bConfigurationValue
Copied into configuration descriptor.
iConfiguration
Copied into configuration descriptor.
bmAttributes
Copied into configuration descriptor.
bMaxPower
Copied into configuration descriptor.
cdev
assigned by usb_add_config() before calling bind(); this is the device associated with this configuration.
DESCRIPTION
Configurations are building blocks for gadget drivers structured around function drivers. Simple USB gadgets require only one function and
one configuration, and handle dual-speed hardware by always providing the same functionality. Slightly more complex gadgets may have more
than one single-function configuration at a given speed; or have configurations that only work at one speed.
Composite devices are, by definition, ones with configurations which include more than one function.
The lifecycle of a usb_configuration includes allocation, initialization of the fields described above, and calling usb_add_config() to set
up internal data and bind it to a specific device. The configuration's bind() method is then used to initialize all the functions and then
call usb_add_function() for them.
Those functions would normally be independant of each other, but that's not mandatory. CDC WMC devices are an example where functions often
depend on other functions, with some functions subsidiary to others. Such interdependency may be managed in any way, so long as all of the
descriptors complete by the time the composite driver returns from its bind routine.

struct_usb_gadget_driver - driver for usb 'slave' devices
SYNOPSIS
struct usb_gadget_driver {
char * function;
enum usb_device_speed speed;
int (* bind) (struct usb_gadget *);
void (* unbind) (struct usb_gadget *);
int (* setup) (struct usb_gadget *,const struct usb_ctrlrequest *);
void (* disconnect) (struct usb_gadget *);
void (* suspend) (struct usb_gadget *);
void (* resume) (struct usb_gadget *);
struct device_driver driver;
};
MEMBERS
function
String describing the gadget's function
speed
Highest speed the driver handles.
bind
Invoked when the driver is bound to a gadget, usually after registering the driver. At that point, ep0 is fully initialized, and
ep_list holds the currently-available endpoints. Called in a context that permits sleeping.
unbind
Invoked when the driver is unbound from a gadget, usually from rmmod (after a disconnect is reported). Called in a context that permits
sleeping.
setup
Invoked for ep0 control requests that aren't handled by the hardware level driver. Most calls must be handled by the gadget driver,
including descriptor and configuration management. The 16 bit members of the setup data are in USB byte order. Called in_interrupt;
this may not sleep. Driver queues a response to ep0, or returns negative to stall.
disconnect
Invoked after all transfers have been stopped, when the host is disconnected. May be called in_interrupt; this may not sleep. Some
devices can't detect disconnect, so this might not be called except as part of controller shutdown.
suspend
Invoked on USB suspend. May be called in_interrupt.
resume
Invoked on USB resume. May be called in_interrupt.
driver
Driver model state for this driver.
DESCRIPTION
Devices are disabled till a gadget driver successfully binds, which means the driver will handle setup requests needed to enumerate (and
meet "chapter 9" requirements) then do some useful work.
If gadget->is_otg is true, the gadget driver must provide an OTG descriptor during enumeration, or else fail the bind call. In such cases,
no USB traffic may flow until both bind returns without having called usb_gadget_disconnect, and the USB host stack has initialized.
Drivers use hardware-specific knowledge to configure the usb hardware. endpoint addressing is only one of several hardware characteristics
that are in descriptors the ep0 implementation returns from setup calls.
Except for ep0 implementation, most driver code shouldn't need change to run on top of different usb controllers. It'll use endpoints set
up by that ep0 implementation.
The usb controller driver handles a few standard usb requests. Those include set_address, and feature flags for devices, interfaces, and
endpoints (the get_status, set_feature, and clear_feature requests).
Accordingly, the driver's setup callback must always implement all get_descriptor requests, returning at least a device descriptor and a
configuration descriptor. Drivers must make sure the endpoint descriptors match any hardware constraints. Some hardware also constrains
other descriptors. (The pxa250 allows only configurations 1, 2, or 3).
The driver's setup callback must also implement set_configuration, and should also implement set_interface, get_configuration, and
get_interface. Setting a configuration (or interface) is where endpoints should be activated or (config 0) shut down.
(Note that only the default control endpoint is supported. Neither hosts nor devices generally support control traffic except to ep0.)
Most devices will ignore USB suspend/resume operations, and so will not provide those callbacks. However, some may need to change modes
when the host is not longer directing those activities. For example, local controls (buttons, dials, etc) may need to be re-enabled since
the (remote) host can't do that any longer; or an error state might be cleared, to make the device behave identically whether or not power
is maintained.
