There's already standard 'vendor-id' and 'device-id' properties. Use 
those.

For all of this, it's USB specific, not vhub specific. I'm not sure this 
is the right approach. It might be better to just define properties 
which are just raw USB descriptors rather than inventing some DT format 
that then has to be converted into USB descriptors.

So yes and no... I don't fundamentally object but keep in mind that
traditionally, the properties are about matching with a physical
hardware.

In this case however, we are describing a virtual piece of HW and so
those IDs are going to be picked up to be exposed as the USB
vendor/device of the vhub on the USB bus.

Not necessarily an issue but it's more "configuration" than "matching"
and as such, it might make sense to expose that with a prefix, though I
would prefer something like usb-vendor-id or usb,vendor-id...

Raw blob in the DT is rather annoying and leads to hard to parse stuff
for both humans and scripts. The main strenght of the DT is it's easy
to read and manipulate.

Also not the entire descriptor is configurable this way.

That said, it could be that using  the DT for the above is overkill and
instead, we should consider a configfs like the rest of USB gadget.
Though it isn't obvious how to do that, the current gadget stuff
doesn't really "fit" what we need here.

Maybe we could expose the port as UDCs but not actually expose them on
the bus until the hub is "activated" via a special configfs entry...

Ben.

For FDT uses, it's pretty much been configuration. It's mostly been
for PCI that I've seen these properties used.

True, and I'd certainly agree when we're talking about some vendor
specific blob. but there's already code/tools to parse USB
descriptors.

Surely the descriptor building code can be shared at a minimum.

Regardless of whether gadget configfs fits, usually it is pretty clear
whether something belongs in DT or userspace. That should be decided
first.

If control of the hub is done by userspace, I'd think configuration
should be there too.

Thank you Rob and Ben for the comments. I thought about using "vendor-id"
or "idVendor" prefixed with "usb", "hub" or "vhub", and I chose "vhub"
just to distinguish from per-port usb devices' properties in the future.
Anyways I'm very happy to update the names per your suggestions.

Perhaps it's my lack of greater knowledge in gadget/dt areas, and I'm not
quite clear what would be the recommended/accepted approach for this
case. I'm looking forward for more suggestions.

It's not in the current driver. For now, I expose the hub when the
driver loads/initializes, and it creates UDCs for each port, which are
then controlled from userspace.

That said, I did it this way because it was easy, not because there are
fundamental reasons to do so...

The main reason to want to change the hub descriptor is for the device
to advertise a vendor/device ID rather than our generic linux one,
which some vendors might want to do for ... reasons. I didn't implement
that functionality initially as in openbmc case, we didn't care. But I
know some vendors would like to, if anything because from a user
perspective, it's actually nice to have the string tell you that it's
your BMC rather than Linux Fundation Hub.

Originally I suggested we allow that via the device-tree because it was
the simplest way to get there and I love have to deal with less code ..
:)

However, if we want to support the whole language string set etc... it
gets really clumsy. So if there's a strong will to get there all the
way, then configfs is probably the way to go.

In that case, some sugery will probably be needed to make the gadget
descriptor building code a bit less dependent on the overall gadget
stuff... either that, or pre-create a "hub" gadget at driver loading
