Maxim Devaev 28b985f146 UPSTREAM: usb: gadget: f_hid: optional SETUP/SET_REPORT mode
[ Upstream commit d7428bc26fc767942c38d74b80299bcd4f01e7cb ]

f_hid provides the OUT Endpoint as only way for receiving reports
from the host. SETUP/SET_REPORT method is not supported, and this causes
a number of compatibility problems with various host drivers, especially
in the case of keyboard emulation using f_hid.

  - Some hosts do not support the OUT Endpoint and ignore it,
    so it becomes impossible for the gadget to receive a report
    from the host. In the case of a keyboard, the gadget loses
    the ability to receive the status of the LEDs.

  - Some BIOSes/UEFIs can't work with HID devices with the OUT Endpoint
    at all. This may be due to their bugs or incomplete implementation
    of the HID standard.
    For example, absolutely all Apple UEFIs can't handle the OUT Endpoint
    if it goes after IN Endpoint in the descriptor and require the reverse
    order (OUT, IN) which is a violation of the standard.
    Other hosts either do not initialize gadgets with a descriptor
    containing the OUT Endpoint completely (like some HP and DELL BIOSes
    and embedded firmwares like on KVM switches), or initialize them,
    but will not poll the IN Endpoint.

This patch adds configfs option no_out_endpoint=1 to disable
the OUT Endpoint and allows f_hid to receive reports from the host
via SETUP/SET_REPORT.

Previously, there was such a feature in f_hid, but it was replaced
by the OUT Endpoint [1] in the commit 99c5150058 ("usb: gadget: hidg:
register OUT INT endpoint for SET_REPORT"). So this patch actually
returns the removed functionality while making it optional.
For backward compatibility reasons, the OUT Endpoint mode remains
the default behaviour.

  - The OUT Endpoint mode provides the report queue and reduces
    USB overhead (eliminating SETUP routine) on transmitting a report
    from the host.

  - If the SETUP/SET_REPORT mode is used, there is no report queue,
    so the userspace will only read last report. For classic HID devices
    like keyboards this is not a problem, since it's intended to transmit
    the status of the LEDs and only the last report is important.
    This mode provides better compatibility with strange and buggy
    host drivers.

Both modes passed USBCV tests. Checking with the USB protocol analyzer
also confirmed that everything is working as it should and the new mode
ensures operability in all of the described cases.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass script/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

    - then Joe Smith would upload the patch for the common kernel as
        UPSTREAM: important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

        Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@foo.org>
  • If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with BACKPORT: instead of UPSTREAM:.
    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
        BACKPORT: important patch from upstream

Requirements for other backports: FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:,

  • If the patch has been merged into an upstream maintainer tree, but has not yet been merged into Linux mainline
    • tag the patch subject with FROMGIT:
    • add info on where the patch came from as (cherry picked from commit <sha1> <repo> <branch>). This must be a stable maintainer branch (not rebased, so don't use linux-next for example).
    • if changes were required, use BACKPORT: FROMGIT:
    • Example:
      • if the commit message in the maintainer tree is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch
