Recently merged to Linux Git was the usual assortment of different USB device\/driver changes. The max77759 USB power supply \/ charger driver is a new driver this cycle. The max77759 charger driver was developed by Google with the MAX77759 PMIC used in the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones.\n<\/p>\n

The USB Type-C ucsi_glink driver added support for Qualcomm’s Glymur and Kaanapali SoCs.\n<\/p>\n

The DWC3 USB driver added support for USB3340x ULPI PHY high-speed negotiation. The DWC3 driver also added support for the StarFive JHB100.\n<\/p>\n

Also now supported with Linux 7.1 is the USB DWC3 support for the SpacemiT K3 RISC-V SoC.\n<\/p>\n

The USB XHCI driver has optimized resuming from S4 suspend-to-disk for Linux 7.1.\n<\/p>\n

There is also a core USB change in Linux 7.1 to allow ACPI-managed hard-wired ports to power off. Star Labs authored this change for their use-case of allowing internal devices like CNVi Bluetooth to use the existing USB ACPI run-time power code path even when the root USB hub reports no USB-standard port power switching.\n<\/p>\n

For the Fairchild FUSB302 Type-C driver there is DRM DP HPD bridge support for enjoying DisplayPort AltMode on DeviceTree based platforms like with the Rockchip RK3576.\n<\/p>\n
