[U-Boot] query about USB gadget framework

[Dmitry Krivoschekov]

Hi,

I'm curious what are the current plans for merging the USB gadget 
framework [1] into mainline tree? Looks like there were attempts [2] to 
do so but I failed to figure out why it was not actually merged. Or was 
it dropped at some point later? Interesting why.

Thanks,
Dmitry

You should address this question to the USB custodian Remy Bohmer (I put
him on CC).

Well this is strange.  From the link you provide, it seems like Wolfgang
applied that to mainline, but I also cannot find any trace here of the
commits of the pull-request.

Around the time in question, I can only find this commit:

commit f97db54d7e773a32100247ee002686b6a014a87d
Merge: 0c24dec faa14ba
Author: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
Date:   Tue Jun 9 22:53:03 2009 +0200

    Merge branch 'master' of git://git.denx.de/u-boot-usb


Whereas Remy asked Wolfgang to pull the next branch.  Maybe this was a
misunderstanding and nobody (except you) found out....

Remy, what do you think?

Cheers
  Detlev

It has been reverted quite fast after merging into mainline, since it
touched some ARM code that conflicted with other work in progress at
that time.
I planned to push it back in later but did not had the time to do it
properly, and I have to say that there were not many requests last
year to move it forward ;-)

The current status of the CDC branch in the u-boot-usb tree is that it
is fully operational to provide CDC-ECM support (ethernet-over-USB) on
Atmel at91based cores, but it need to be worked up for mainline
integration.

nope, it was just reverted...

> Remy, what do you think?

I do not expect to have some time for it soon, so if you want to work
it up for mainline inclusion, go ahead!

Kind regards,

Remy
