Hi Bjorn/Robb,

Following is how my EUD design looks like

My device tree node will look like as follows


eud@88e0000 {
compatible = "qcom,usb-connector-eud";
reg = <0 0x88e0000 0 0x2000>,
<0 0x88e2000 0 0x1000>;
interrupt-parent = <&pdc>;
interrupts = <11 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
ports {
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
port@0 {
reg = <0>;
usb2_eud: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&eud_ep>;
};
};
};
};


@usb2 {
dwc3 {
usb-role-switch;
usb_con: eud_usb_connector {
compatible = “usb-connector-eud", "usb-c-connector";
ports {
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
port@0 {
reg = <0>;
eud_ep: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&usb2_eud>;
};
};
};
};


So, I am putting a connector node as a child of dwc3 node which can be
connected to the EUD node via ports. I am keeping EUD as a separate
device tree node.

I can get the device equivalent to the connector by doing the following
in EUD driver

dev = usb_of_get_companion_dev(&pdev->dev);

Once I get the device, I can then do

role_sw = usb_role_switch_get(dev);

This will give me the role switch reference which can be used to set
device or host role.

The advantage here is that

-> I am keeping the existing yamls untouched which won't be the case if
I map EUD as child of dwc3.

->This is also consistent with EUD hardware since EUD is not a connector
in itself but it needs a connector to function
because it can work only in device mode so the role-switch needs to be
done.

Let me know your thoughts regarding this.

Thanks,
Souradeep
