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.

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_DYNAMIC_MINORS
37	bool "Dynamic USB minor allocation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
38	depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
39	help
40	  If you say Y here, the USB subsystem will use dynamic minor
41	  allocation for any device that uses the USB major number.
42	  This means that you can have more than 16 of a single type
43	  of device (like USB printers).
44
45	  If you are unsure about this, say N here.
46
47config USB_SUSPEND
48	bool "USB selective suspend/resume and wakeup (EXPERIMENTAL)"
49	depends on USB && PM && EXPERIMENTAL
50	help
51	  If you say Y here, you can use driver calls or the sysfs
52	  "power/state" file to suspend or resume individual USB
53	  peripherals.
54
55	  Also, USB "remote wakeup" signaling is supported, whereby some
56	  USB devices (like keyboards and network adapters) can wake up
57	  their parent hub.  That wakeup cascades up the USB tree, and
58	  could wake the system from states like suspend-to-RAM.
59
60	  If you are unsure about this, say N here.
61
62config USB_OTG
63	bool
64	depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
65	select USB_SUSPEND
66	default n

69config USB_OTG_WHITELIST
70	bool "Rely on OTG Targeted Peripherals List"
71	depends on USB_OTG
72	default y
73	help
74	  If you say Y here, the "otg_whitelist.h" file will be used as a
75	  product whitelist, so USB peripherals not listed there will be
76	  rejected during enumeration.  This behavior is required by the
77	  USB OTG specification for all devices not on your product's
78	  "Targeted Peripherals List".
79
80	  Otherwise, peripherals not listed there will only generate a
81	  warning and enumeration will continue.  That's more like what
82	  normal Linux-USB hosts do (other than the warning), and is
83	  convenient for many stages of product development.
84
85config USB_OTG_BLACKLIST_HUB
86	bool "Disable external hubs"
87	depends on USB_OTG
88	help
89	  If you say Y here, then Linux will refuse to enumerate
90	  external hubs.  OTG hosts are allowed to reduce hardware
91	  and software costs by not supporting external hubs.
