USB Type-C connector class
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The typec class is meant for describing the USB Type-C ports in a system to the
|
|
user space in unified fashion. The class is designed to provide nothing else
|
|
except the user space interface implementation in hope that it can be utilized
|
|
on as many platforms as possible.
|
|
|
|
The platforms are expected to register every USB Type-C port they have with the
|
|
class. In a normal case the registration will be done by a USB Type-C or PD PHY
|
|
driver, but it may be a driver for firmware interface such as UCSI, driver for
|
|
USB PD controller or even driver for Thunderbolt3 controller. This document
|
|
considers the component registering the USB Type-C ports with the class as "port
|
|
driver".
|
|
|
|
On top of showing the capabilities, the class also offer user space control over
|
|
the roles and alternate modes of ports, partners and cable plugs when the port
|
|
driver is capable of supporting those features.
|
|
|
|
The class provides an API for the port drivers described in this document. The
|
|
attributes are described in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-typec.
|
|
|
|
User space interface
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Every port will be presented as its own device under /sys/class/typec/. The
|
|
first port will be named "port0", the second "port1" and so on.
|
|
|
|
When connected, the partner will be presented also as its own device under
|
|
/sys/class/typec/. The parent of the partner device will always be the port it
|
|
is attached to. The partner attached to port "port0" will be named
|
|
"port0-partner". Full path to the device would be
|
|
/sys/class/typec/port0/port0-partner/.
|
|
|
|
The cable and the two plugs on it may also be optionally presented as their own
|
|
devices under /sys/class/typec/. The cable attached to the port "port0" port
|
|
will be named port0-cable and the plug on the SOP Prime end (see USB Power
|
|
Delivery Specification ch. 2.4) will be named "port0-plug0" and on the SOP
|
|
Double Prime end "port0-plug1". The parent of a cable will always be the port,
|
|
and the parent of the cable plugs will always be the cable.
|
|
|
|
If the port, partner or cable plug supports Alternate Modes, every supported
|
|
Alternate Mode SVID will have their own device describing them. Note that the
|
|
Alternate Mode devices will not be attached to the typec class. The parent of an
|
|
alternate mode will be the device that supports it, so for example an alternate
|
|
mode of port0-partner will be presented under /sys/class/typec/port0-partner/.
|
|
Every mode that is supported will have its own group under the Alternate Mode
|
|
device named "mode<index>", for example /sys/class/typec/port0/<alternate
|
|
mode>/mode1/. The requests for entering/exiting a mode can be done with "active"
|
|
attribute file in that group.
|
|
|
|
Driver API
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Registering the ports
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The port drivers will describe every Type-C port they control with struct
|
|
typec_capability data structure, and register them with the following API:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_register_port typec_unregister_port
|
|
|
|
When registering the ports, the prefer_role member in struct typec_capability
|
|
deserves special notice. If the port that is being registered does not have
|
|
initial role preference, which means the port does not execute Try.SNK or
|
|
Try.SRC by default, the member must have value TYPEC_NO_PREFERRED_ROLE.
|
|
Otherwise if the port executes Try.SNK by default, the member must have value
|
|
TYPEC_DEVICE, and with Try.SRC the value must be TYPEC_HOST.
|
|
|
|
Registering Partners
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
After successful connection of a partner, the port driver needs to register the
|
|
partner with the class. Details about the partner need to be described in struct
|
|
typec_partner_desc. The class copies the details of the partner during
|
|
registration. The class offers the following API for registering/unregistering
|
|
partners.
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_register_partner typec_unregister_partner
|
|
|
|
The class will provide a handle to struct typec_partner if the registration was
|
|
successful, or NULL.
|
|
|
|
If the partner is USB Power Delivery capable, and the port driver is able to
|
|
show the result of Discover Identity command, the partner descriptor structure
|
|
should include handle to struct usb_pd_identity instance. The class will then
|
|
create a sysfs directory for the identity under the partner device. The result
|
|
of Discover Identity command can then be reported with the following API:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_partner_set_identity
|
|
|
|
Registering Cables
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
After successful connection of a cable that supports USB Power Delivery
|
|
Structured VDM "Discover Identity", the port driver needs to register the cable
|
|
and one or two plugs, depending if there is CC Double Prime controller present
|
|
in the cable or not. So a cable capable of SOP Prime communication, but not SOP
|
|
Double Prime communication, should only have one plug registered. For more
|
|
information about SOP communication, please read chapter about it from the
|
|
latest USB Power Delivery specification.
|
|
|
|
The plugs are represented as their own devices. The cable is registered first,
|
|
followed by registration of the cable plugs. The cable will be the parent device
|
|
for the plugs. Details about the cable need to be described in struct
|
|
typec_cable_desc and about a plug in struct typec_plug_desc. The class copies
|
|
the details during registration. The class offers the following API for
|
|
registering/unregistering cables and their plugs:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_register_cable typec_unregister_cable typec_register_plug typec_unregister_plug
|
|
|
|
The class will provide a handle to struct typec_cable and struct typec_plug if
|
|
the registration is successful, or NULL if it isn't.
|
|
|
|
If the cable is USB Power Delivery capable, and the port driver is able to show
|
|
the result of Discover Identity command, the cable descriptor structure should
|
|
include handle to struct usb_pd_identity instance. The class will then create a
|
|
sysfs directory for the identity under the cable device. The result of Discover
|
|
Identity command can then be reported with the following API:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_cable_set_identity
|
|
|
|
Notifications
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When the partner has executed a role change, or when the default roles change
|
|
during connection of a partner or cable, the port driver must use the following
|
|
APIs to report it to the class:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_set_data_role typec_set_pwr_role typec_set_vconn_role typec_set_pwr_opmode
|
|
|
|
Alternate Modes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
USB Type-C ports, partners and cable plugs may support Alternate Modes. Each
|
|
Alternate Mode will have identifier called SVID, which is either a Standard ID
|
|
given by USB-IF or vendor ID, and each supported SVID can have 1 - 6 modes. The
|
|
class provides struct typec_mode_desc for describing individual mode of a SVID,
|
|
and struct typec_altmode_desc which is a container for all the supported modes.
|
|
|
|
Ports that support Alternate Modes need to register each SVID they support with
|
|
the following API:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_port_register_altmode
|
|
|
|
If a partner or cable plug provides a list of SVIDs as response to USB Power
|
|
Delivery Structured VDM Discover SVIDs message, each SVID needs to be
|
|
registered.
|
|
|
|
API for the partners:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_partner_register_altmode
|
|
|
|
API for the Cable Plugs:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_plug_register_altmode
|
|
|
|
So ports, partners and cable plugs will register the alternate modes with their
|
|
own functions, but the registration will always return a handle to struct
|
|
typec_altmode on success, or NULL. The unregistration will happen with the same
|
|
function:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_unregister_altmode
|
|
|
|
If a partner or cable plug enters or exits a mode, the port driver needs to
|
|
notify the class with the following API:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
|
|
:functions: typec_altmode_update_active
|
