[PATCH 0/6] dwc-hsotg (aka dwc2) USB host contoller emulation

[Paul Zimmerman]

This patch series adds emulation for the dwc-hsotg USB controller,
which is used on the Raspberry Pi 3 and earlier, as well as a number
of other development boards. The main benefit for Raspberry Pi is that
this enables networking on these boards, since the network adapter is
attached via USB.

The emulation is working quite well, I have tested with USB network,
mass storage, mouse, keyboard, and tablet. I have tested with the dwc2
driver in the upstream Linux kernel, and with the dwc-otg driver in the
Raspbian kernel. One remaining issue is that USB redirection does not
work, I tried connecting to a USB stick on the host, but the device
generates babble errors and does not work. I will continue to work on
this issue.

The patch series also includes a very basic emulation of the MPHI
device on the Raspberry Pi SOC, which provides the FIQ interrupt that
is used by the dwc-otg driver in the Raspbian kernel. But that driver
still does not work in full FIQ mode, so it is necessary to add a
parameter to the kernel command line ("dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_enable=0") to
make it work.

Some open questions:

1) I have used printf-based debug statements while developing the
   code, and have not implemented any tracing statements. I'm not
   sure if that is considered acceptable for new code?

2) I have imported the register description file from the Linux
   kernel. This file is licensed GPL-2 only, is this OK?

3) The emulation does not respect the max-packet size when
   transferring packets. Since the dwc-hsotg controller only has
   one root port, and the Qemu USB hub is only full-speed, that
   means every device connected has to run at full speed. That
   makes mass-storage devices in particular run very slowly. Using
   transfers greater than max-packet size alleviates this. Is this
   OK? I think the EHCI emulation does the same thing, since its
   transfers seem to run at greater than real world transfer rates.

4) I have only implemented host mode for now. Would there be any
   benefit to implementing gadget mode as well? It seems it could
   be useful to emulate gadget devices in Qemu, but I am not sure
   if Qemu currently offers any support for that?

Thanks for your time,
Paul
