4config USB_DEBUG
5	bool "USB verbose debug messages"
6	depends on USB
7	help
8	  Say Y here if you want the USB core & hub drivers to produce a bunch
9	  of debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a
10	  problem with USB support and want to see more of what is going on.

12comment "Miscellaneous USB options"
13	depends on USB

15config USB_DEVICEFS
16	bool "USB device filesystem"
17	depends on USB
18	---help---
19	  If you say Y here (and to "/proc file system support" in the "File
20	  systems" section, above), you will get a file /proc/bus/usb/devices
21	  which lists the devices currently connected to your USB bus or
22	  busses, and for every connected device a file named
23	  "/proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy", where xxx is the bus number and yyy the
24	  device number; the latter files can be used by user space programs
25	  to talk directly to the device. These files are "virtual", meaning
26	  they are generated on the fly and not stored on the hard drive.
27
28	  You may need to mount the usbfs file system to see the files, use
29	  mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
30
31	  For the format of the various /proc/bus/usb/ files, please read
32	  <file:Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt>.
33
34	  Most users want to say Y here.
35
36config USB_BANDWIDTH
37	bool "Enforce USB bandwidth allocation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
38	depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
39	help
40	  If you say Y here, the USB subsystem enforces USB bandwidth
41	  allocation and will prevent some device opens from succeeding
42	  if they would cause USB bandwidth usage to go above 90% of
43	  the bus bandwidth.
44
45	  If you say N here, these conditions will cause warning messages
46	  about USB bandwidth usage to be logged and some devices or
47	  drivers may not work correctly.
48
49config USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS
50	bool "Dynamic USB minor allocation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
51	depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
52	help
53	  If you say Y here, the USB subsystem will use dynamic minor
54	  allocation for any device that uses the USB major number.
55	  This means that you can have more than 16 of a single type
56	  of device (like USB printers).
57
58	  If you are unsure about this, say N here.
59
60config USB_SUSPEND
61	bool "USB selective suspend/resume and wakeup (EXPERIMENTAL)"
62	depends on USB && PM && EXPERIMENTAL
63	help
64	  If you say Y here, you can use driver calls or the sysfs
65	  "power/state" file to suspend or resume individual USB
66	  peripherals.
67
68	  Also, USB "remote wakeup" signaling is supported, whereby some
69	  USB devices (like keyboards and network adapters) can wake up
70	  their parent hub.  That wakeup cascades up the USB tree, and
71	  could wake the system from states like suspend-to-RAM.
72
73	  If you are unsure about this, say N here.
74
75config USB_MULTITHREAD_PROBE
76	bool "USB Multi-threaded probe (EXPERIMENTAL)"
77	depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
78	default n
79	help
80	  Say Y here if you want the USB core to spawn a new thread for
81	  every USB device that is probed.  This can cause a small speedup
82	  in boot times on systems with a lot of different USB devices.
83
84	  This option should be safe to enable, but if any odd probing
85	  problems are found, please disable it, or dynamically turn it
86	  off in the /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/multithread_probe
87	  file
88
89	  When in doubt, say N.
90
91config USB_OTG
92	bool
93	depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
94	select USB_SUSPEND
95	default n
96
97
98config USB_OTG_WHITELIST
99	bool "Rely on OTG Targeted Peripherals List"
100	depends on USB_OTG
101	default y
102	help
103	  If you say Y here, the "otg_whitelist.h" file will be used as a
104	  product whitelist, so USB peripherals not listed there will be
105	  rejected during enumeration.  This behavior is required by the
106	  USB OTG specification for all devices not on your product's
107	  "Targeted Peripherals List".
108
109	  Otherwise, peripherals not listed there will only generate a
110	  warning and enumeration will continue.  That's more like what
111	  normal Linux-USB hosts do (other than the warning), and is
112	  convenient for many stages of product development.
113
114config USB_OTG_BLACKLIST_HUB
115	bool "Disable external hubs"
116	depends on USB_OTG
117	help
118	  If you say Y here, then Linux will refuse to enumerate
119	  external hubs.  OTG hosts are allowed to reduce hardware
120	  and software costs by not supporting external hubs.
