Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] improve usb_role_switch_is_parent()
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 15:43:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309074313.2809867-1-xu.yang_2@nxp.com> (raw)
This patchset will revert a recent fix patch which will introduce another
regression, and fix the true underlying issue.
Arnaud pushed a fix patch commit 1366cd228b0c ("tcpm: allow looking for
role_sw device in the main node") because commit 2d8713f807a4
("tcpm: switch check for role_sw device with fw_node") swap the order of
usb_role_switch_get() and fwnode_usb_role_switch_get() and this cause the
fwnode_usb_role_switch_get() return "-EPROBE_DEFER" all the time in his
usecase.
The said dts use below property to get role switch device:
fusb0: typec-portc@22 {
compatible = "fcs,fusb302";
usb-role-switch = <&typec_extcon_bridge>;
...
connector {
}
}
So the fix patch works because usb_role_switch_get() will correctly find
the role switch device in case fwnode_usb_role_switch_get() is failed.
However, usb_role_switch_get() shouldn't be called at all in this case
because tcpc->fwnode is already correctly set to @connector. And worse
more, this bring another issue that is once fwnode_usb_role_switch_get()
return "-EPROBE_DEFER" this info may be lost if usb_role_switch_get()
then return NULL.
After further research into this issue, finally I found
usb_role_switch_is_parent() not work properly when it parse non-boolean
"usb-role-switch" property which is for back compatibility purpose. To fix
the issue, patch#2 is added.
