Merge tag 'usb-6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb

Pull USB / Thunderbolt updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of USB and thunderbolt drivers for 6.18-rc1. It
was another normal development cycle, with lots of the usual drivers
getting updates:

- Thunderbolt driver cleanups and additions

- dwc3 driver updates

- dwc2 driver updates

- typec driver updates

- xhci driver updates and additions

- offload USB engine updates for better power management

- unused tracepoint removals

- usb gadget fixes and updates as more users start to rely on these
drivers instead of the "old" function gadget drivers

- new USB device ids

- other minor driver USB driver updates

- new USB I/O driver framework and driver additions"

The last item, the usb i/o driver, has an i2c and gpio driver added
through this tree. Those drivers were acked by the respective
subsystem maintainers.

All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

Merge patch series "Support system sleep with offloaded usb transfers" into usb-next

Guan-Yu Lin <guanyulin@google.com> says:

Wesley Cheng and Mathias Nyman's USB offload design enables a
co-processor to handle some USB transfers, potentially allowing the
system to sleep (suspend-to-RAM) and save power. However, Linux's System
Sleep model halts the USB host controller when the main system isn't
managing any USB transfers. To address this, the proposal modifies the
system to recognize offloaded USB transfers and manage power
accordingly. This way, offloaded USB transfers could still happen during
system sleep (Suspend-to-RAM).

This involves two key steps:
1. Transfer Status Tracking: Propose offload_usage and corresponding
apis drivers could track USB transfers on the co-processor, ensuring
the system is aware of any ongoing activity.
2. Power Management Adjustment: Modifications to the USB driver stack
(xhci host controller driver, and USB device drivers) allow the
system to sleep (Suspend-to-RAM) without disrupting co-processor
managed USB transfers. This involves adding conditional checks to
bypass some power management operations in the System Sleep model.

usb: offload: add apis for offload usage tracking

Introduce offload_usage and corresponding apis to track offload usage
on each USB device. Offload denotes that there is another co-processor
accessing the USB device via the same USB host controller. To optimize
power usage, it's essential to monitor whether the USB device is
actively used by other co-processor. This information is vital when
determining if a USB device can be safely suspended during system power
state transitions.
