Merge tag 'usb-6.16-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 changes for 6.16-rc1.
Included in here are the following:

- USB offload support for audio devices.

I think this takes the record for the most number of patch series
(30+) over the longest period of time (2+ years) to get merged
properly.

Many props go to Wesley Cheng for seeing this effort through, they
took a major out-of-tree hacked-up-monstrosity that was created by
multiple vendors for their specific devices, got it all merged into
a semi-coherent set of changes, and got all of the different major
subsystems to agree on how this should be implemented both with
changes to their code as well as userspace apis, AND wrangled the
hardware companies into agreeing to go forward with this, despite
making them all redo work they had already done in their private
device trees.

This feature offers major power savings on embedded devices where a
USB audio stream can continue to flow while the rest of the system
is sleeping, something that devices running on battery power really
care about. There are still some more small tweaks left to be done
here, and those patches are still out for review and arguing among
the different hardware companies, but this is a major step forward
and a great example of how to do upstream development well.

- small number of thunderbolt fixes and updates, things seem to be
slowing down here (famous last words...)

- xhci refactors and reworking to try to handle some rough corner
cases in some hardware implementations where things don't always
work properly

- typec driver updates

- USB3 power management reworking and updates

- Removal of some old and orphaned UDC gadget drivers that had not
been used in a very long time, dropping over 11 thousand lines from
the tree, always a nice thing, making up for the 12k lines added
for the USB offload feature.

- lots of little updates and fixes in different drivers

All of these have been in linux-next for over 2 weeks, the USB offload
logic has been in there for 8 weeks now, with no reported issues"

usb: host: xhci: Notify xHCI sideband on transfer ring free

In the case of handling a USB bus reset, the xhci_discover_or_reset_device
can run without first notifying the xHCI sideband client driver to stop or
prevent the use of the transfer ring. It was seen that when a bus reset
situation happened, the USB offload driver was attempting to fetch the xHCI
transfer ring information, which was already freed.

xhci: sideband: add initial api to register a secondary interrupter entity

Introduce XHCI sideband, which manages the USB endpoints being requested by
a client driver. This is used for when client drivers are attempting to
offload USB endpoints to another entity for handling USB transfers. XHCI
sec intr will allow for drivers to fetch the required information about the
transfer ring, so the user can submit transfers independently. Expose the
required APIs for drivers to register and request for a USB endpoint and to
manage XHCI secondary interrupters.

Driver renaming, multiple ring segment page linking, proper endpoint clean
up, and allowing module compilation added by Wesley Cheng to complete
original concept code by Mathias Nyman.
