Sarah Sharp 7f84eef0da USB: xhci: No-op command queueing and irq handler.
xHCI host controllers can optionally implement a no-op test.  This
simple test ensures the OS has correctly setup all basic data structures
and can correctly respond to interrupts from the host controller
hardware.

There are two rings exercised by the no-op test:  the command ring, and
the event ring.

The host controller driver writes a no-op command TRB to the command
ring, and rings the doorbell for the command ring (the first entry in
the doorbell array).  The hardware receives this event, places a command
completion event on the event ring, and fires an interrupt.

The host controller driver sees the interrupt, and checks the event ring
for TRBs it can process, and sees the command completion event.  (See
the rules in xhci-ring.c for who "owns" a TRB.  This is a simplified set
of rules, and may not contain all the details that are in the xHCI 0.95
spec.)

A timer fires every 60 seconds to debug the state of the hardware and
command and event rings.  This timer only runs if
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD_DEBUGGING is 'y'.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
