Kirill Smelkov cc62a7eb63 USB: EHCI: Allow users to override 80% max periodic bandwidth
There are cases, when 80% max isochronous bandwidth is too limiting.

For example I have two USB video capture cards which stream uncompressed
video, and to stream full NTSC + PAL videos we'd need

    NTSC 640x480 YUV422 @30fps      ~17.6 MB/s
    PAL  720x576 YUV422 @25fps      ~19.7 MB/s

isoc bandwidth.

Now, due to limited alt settings in capture devices NTSC one ends up
streaming with max_pkt_size=2688  and  PAL with max_pkt_size=2892, both
with interval=1. In terms of microframe time allocation this gives

    NTSC    ~53us
    PAL     ~57us

and together

    ~110us  >  100us == 80% of 125us uframe time.

So those two devices can't work together simultaneously because the'd
over allocate isochronous bandwidth.

80% seemed a bit arbitrary to me, and I've tried to raise it to 90% and
both devices started to work together, so I though sometimes it would be
a good idea for users to override hardcoded default of max 80% isoc
bandwidth.

After all, isn't it a user who should decide how to load the bus? If I
can live with 10% or even 5% bulk bandwidth that should be ok. I'm a USB
newcomer, but that 80% set in stone by USB 2.0 specification seems to be
chosen pretty arbitrary to me, just to serve as a reasonable default.

NOTE 1
~~~~~~

for two streams with max_pkt_size=3072 (worst case) both time
allocation would be 60us+60us=120us which is 96% periodic bandwidth
leaving 4% for bulk and control.  Alan Stern suggested that bulk then
would be problematic (less than 300*8 bittimes left per microframe), but
I think that is still enough for control traffic.

NOTE 2
~~~~~~

Sarah Sharp expressed concern that maxing out periodic bandwidth
could lead to vendor-specific hardware bugs on host controllers, because

So far I've only tested this patch on my HP Mini 5103 with N10 chipset

    02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8059 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 11)

and the system works stable with 110us/uframe (~88%) isoc bandwith allocated for
above-mentioned isochronous transfers.

NOTE 3
~~~~~~

This feature is off by default. I mean max periodic bandwidth is set to
100us/uframe by default exactly as it was before the patch. So only those of us
who need the extreme settings are taking the risk - normal users who do not
alter uframe_periodic_max sysfs attribute should not see any change at all.

NOTE 4
~~~~~~

I've tried to update documentation in Documentation/ABI/ thoroughly, but
only "TBD" was put into Documentation/usb/ehci.txt -- the text there seems
to be outdated and much needing refreshing, before it could be amended.
