The ISP1301 is a relatively simple transceiver where the actual differential USB signals end up being generated/decoded. It contains some registers and is controlled via I2C to manipulate electrical settings (pull up / power etc.).
At a first glance, I found the following drivers to be using it:
ohci-nxp (was: ohci-pnx4008 + ohci-lpc32xx) isp1301_omap lpc32xx_udc (WIP)
The common functions that all of them are using are some low-level functions like read/write byte, read/write word. (For ohci-nxp, I used smbus commands.) I propose exporting just the defines for all the registers and their bits together with some accessor functions.
Would those be the correct places for header and driver:
drivers/usb/misc/isp1301.c include/linux/usb/isp1301.h
?
As an example usage, I would let the next update of the lpc32xx_udc use it and separately provide patches to make the other drivers above also use it.
Thanks in advance,
Roland
