[PATCH v4 0/2] usb: gadget: f_hid: allow setting different interval for each speed

[PATCH v4 0/2] usb: gadget: f_hid: allow setting different interval for each speed

[Arthur Crepin Leblond]

Hi,

I am using the HID USB gadget on a system that can be plugged in to
different machines with different USB speeds (high or full).

Since the HID polling interval unit depends on the USB speed:
 - Full speed: the units are in milliseconds
 - High/Super speed: the units are in micro-frames of 0.125ms

Exposing directly the bInterval means that I would need to know
which speed is currently in use and have to convert it accordingly.

I propose a solution to to expose the interval for each speed:
 - interval_fs: bInterval for full-speed
 - interval_hs: bInterval for high-speed
 - interval_ss: bInterval for super-speed
 - interval: legacy attribute that takes precedence over the per-speed
attributes and sets the same bInterval for each speed to keep backward
compatibility.

Thank you for your reviews!

[PATCH v4 1/2] usb: gadget: f_hid: allow setting different interval for each speed

[Arthur Crepin Leblond]

The HID polling interval unit depends on the USB speed:

 - Full speed: the units are in milliseconds
 - High/Super speed: the units are in micro-frames of 0.125ms

Exposing directly the bInterval means that the user needs to know
which speed is currently in use and has to convert it accordingly.

The solution is to expose the interval for each speed:
 - interval_fs: bInterval for full-speed
 - interval_hs: bInterval for high-speed
 - interval_ss: bInterval for super-speed
 - interval: legacy attribute that takes precedence over the per-speed
attributes and sets the same bInterval for each speed to keep backward
compatibility.
