[Qemu-devel] Request for suggestions: USB Interface Association Descriptors

[Brad Hards]

Hi,

I've just started the learning process on QEMU, and am trying to create a USB 
webcam virtual device (targetting the Linux UVC driver). So far, I'm able to 
create the device, plug it in (thanks to those involved in qdev), and inspect 
the descriptor.

The problem is building the descriptor, and particularly how to do an 
Interface Association Descriptor. This is covered in Section 9.6.4 of the USB 
3.0 spec, but there is a better description in the Intel IAD whitepaper 
(www.usb.org/developers/whitepapers/iadclasscode_r10.pdf).

The short version is that IAD is an extra descriptor type that appears before 
a group (two or more) interface descriptors, that explains which interface 
descriptors make up a virtual device.  So it could look like:
Config Desc
IAD#0
Iface#0
Iface#1
Iface#2
IAD#1
Iface#3
Iface#4

[Check the diagram in the Intel IAD whitepaper if that makes no sense]

I've managed to make the USB descriptor code produce my descriptor, but the 
change has (at least) two problems I'd appreciate suggestions on how to fix:
1. I can only do the simple case where there is 0 or 1 IADs.
2. The change impacts on every USB configuration descriptor, even though IAD 
isn't very common.

Here is what I'm currently doing in any case (not complete - I haven't 
converted over all the existing device to have the .niad = 0 bit, since I got 
a bad feeling about it.  Not sure what the problem is - it just feels a bit 
wrong).

Suggestions?

Brad
