4config USB_DEBUG
5	bool "USB verbose debug messages"
6	depends on USB
7	help
8	  Say Y here if you want the USB core & hub drivers to produce a bunch
9	  of debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a
10	  problem with USB support and want to see more of what is going on.
11
12config USB_ANNOUNCE_NEW_DEVICES
13	bool "USB announce new devices"
14	depends on USB
15	default N
16	help
17	  Say Y here if you want the USB core to always announce the
18	  idVendor, idProduct, Manufacturer, Product, and SerialNumber
19	  strings for every new USB device to the syslog.  This option is
20	  usually used by distro vendors to help with debugging and to
21	  let users know what specific device was added to the machine
22	  in what location.
23
24	  If you do not want this kind of information sent to the system
25	  log, or have any doubts about this, say N here.

30config USB_DEFAULT_PERSIST
31	bool "Enable USB persist by default"
32	depends on USB
33	default y
34	help
35	  Say N here if you don't want USB power session persistance
36	  enabled by default.  If you say N it will make suspended USB
37	  devices that lose power get reenumerated as if they had been
38	  unplugged, causing any mounted filesystems to be lost.  The
39	  persist feature can still be enabled for individual devices
40	  through the power/persist sysfs node. See
41	  Documentation/usb/persist.txt for more info.
42
43	  If you have any questions about this, say Y here, only say N
44	  if you know exactly what you are doing.
45
46config USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS
47	bool "Dynamic USB minor allocation"
48	depends on USB
49	help
50	  If you say Y here, the USB subsystem will use dynamic minor
51	  allocation for any device that uses the USB major number.
52	  This means that you can have more than 16 of a single type
53	  of device (like USB printers).
54
55	  If you are unsure about this, say N here.
56
57config USB_OTG
58	bool "OTG support"
59	depends on USB
60	depends on USB_SUSPEND
61	default n
62	help
63	  The most notable feature of USB OTG is support for a
64	  "Dual-Role" device, which can act as either a device
65	  or a host. The initial role is decided by the type of
66	  plug inserted and can be changed later when two dual
67	  role devices talk to each other.
68
69	  Select this only if your board has Mini-AB/Micro-AB
70	  connector.
71
72config USB_OTG_WHITELIST
73	bool "Rely on OTG Targeted Peripherals List"
74	depends on USB_OTG || EXPERT
75	default y if USB_OTG
76	help
77	  If you say Y here, the "otg_whitelist.h" file will be used as a
78	  product whitelist, so USB peripherals not listed there will be
79	  rejected during enumeration.  This behavior is required by the
80	  USB OTG specification for all devices not on your product's
81	  "Targeted Peripherals List".  "Embedded Hosts" are likewise
82	  allowed to support only a limited number of peripherals.
83
84	  Otherwise, peripherals not listed there will only generate a
85	  warning and enumeration will continue.  That's more like what
86	  normal Linux-USB hosts do (other than the warning), and is
87	  convenient for many stages of product development.
88
89config USB_OTG_BLACKLIST_HUB
90	bool "Disable external hubs"
91	depends on USB_OTG || EXPERT
92	help
93	  If you say Y here, then Linux will refuse to enumerate
94	  external hubs.  OTG hosts are allowed to reduce hardware
95	  and software costs by not supporting external hubs.  So
96	  are "Embedded Hosts" that don't offer OTG support.
