[U-Boot] i.MX53 USB Client not working

Fabio,

I added the '#define CONFIG_USB_MAX_CONTROLLER_COUNT 2' to my include config file and I see that it loads both USB port 0 and 1.

To me it looks like using CONFIG_USB_MAX_CONTROLLER_COUNT produces that number of duplicate devices all of the USB port defined by CONFIG_MXC_USB_PORT.

If CONFIG_MXC_USB_PORT is set 0, I only get port 0 duplicated CONFIG_USB_MAX_CONTROLLER_COUNT times.   The ums command works, but I don't see any USB devices connected to port 1.
If CONFIG_MXC_USB_PORT is set 1, I only get port 1 duplicated CONFIG_USB_MAX_CONTROLLER_COUNT times.  The ums command shows nothing on the host side, but I can see USB devices (although multiple of the same single device, one on each port)

I looked at drivers/usb/host/ehci-mx5.c and found that the loading of USB is not dynamic and depends on the CONFIG_MXC_USB_PORT value.  In drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c, the CONFIG_USB_MAX_CONTROLLER_COUNT value defines how many devices to create and the index of the current device is passed to the  usb_lowlevel_init() function in drivers/usb/host/ehci-mx5.c but is ignored.

Here is the output when running 'usb start' and then 'usb tree' when CONFIG_MXC_USB_PORT is 1 and CONFIG_USB_MAX_CONTROLLER_COUNT is 2 and a USB mass storage device is only connected to port 1:

I fixed the issues by switching all instances of CONFIG_MXC_USB_PORT with index in drivers/usb/host/ehci-mx5.c and CONFIG_MXC_USB_PORT is no longer used.  Even if index is used in place of CONFIG_MXC_USB_PORT, if you wanted to just use port 1 you would need to populate both port 0 and 1 by setting CONFIG_USB_MAX_CONTROLLER_COUNT to 2.

Here is the patch I made to drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c to make USB client work on port 0 and USB host work on port 1 at the same time:
