[PATCH 0/3] Add USB DWC3 support for Samsung Exynos8855

[PATCH 0/3] Add USB DWC3 support for Samsung Exynos8855

[Selvarasu Ganesan]

The Samsung Exynos8855 SoC implements a Synopsys DesignWare USB3 DRD
controller. The DWC3 core on the Exynos8855 is instantiated with the
generic dwc3 platform driver using a flattened model, where the
controller is directly addressable without a separate glue layer.

This series adds the device tree binding and platform driver support
for this configuration. The binding follows qcom,snps-dwc3 pattern:
a single node referencing snps,dwc3-common.yaml for shared DWC3
properties, with per-SoC constraints enforced via if-then conditionals.

The MAINTAINERS entry is updated first so that the new binding falls
under the existing ARM/Samsung SoC maintainership.

[PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: usb: Introduce samsung,snps-dwc3

[Selvarasu Ganesan]

The Samsung Exynos8855 USB glue is not separate from the Synopsys DWC3
core, using a flattened model where the DWC3 controller is directly
addressable rather than nested as a child node of a glue layer.

Describe the Exynos USB block as a single node, referencing the split
out Synopsys DWC3 core properties via snps,dwc3-common.yaml. The new
binding follows the same approach as qcom,snps-dwc3.

A generic fallback compatible "samsung,snps-dwc3" is introduced to
describe this binding, selected by the validator based on the presence
of the fallback string in the compatible list. Future Exynos SoCs
utilizing the same flattened model can be added by extending the
compatible enum with per SoC clock and property constraints.

Krzysztof Kozlowski is added as a maintainer of this YAML binding, as
he is the ARM/Samsung SoC architecture maintainer (ARM/SAMSUNG S3C,
S5P AND EXYNOS ARM ARCHITECTURES) who already maintains Samsung Exynos
DT bindings (e.g. samsung,exynos-dwc3.yaml) and reviews all
Samsung related binding changes. This follows the same convention used
by existing Samsung Exynos DT binding schemas.

[PATCH 3/3] usb: dwc3: Add Exynos8855 to the generic platform driver

[Selvarasu Ganesan]

Add the "samsung,snps-dwc3" compatible string to dwc3-generic-plat so
the Exynos8855 USB3 DWC3 controller can probe through the generic DWC3
platform glue.

The "samsung,snps-dwc3" string is used as a generic fallback to support
any Exynos SoC that utilizes a flattened model instantiation. This
fallback allows multiple Exynos SoCs to be supported by the generic
platform driver simply by adding the fallback compatible to their
respective device tree nodes.

Why not in alphabetical order?

This is AI slop text. Over longish useless sentence describing diff
without actual information WHY.

Don't send AI generated slop messages.

There is no snps device from Samsung, neither DWC3. The name of device
is completely wrong. snps is a vendor, not a device.

Anyway, don't use generic fallbacks.

Why do you need all this? Look at existing code, don't duplicate. And
for sure do not introduce one more DWC3 binding claiming to be for
Samsung devices and completely ignoring existing ones.
