IMHO, plugin detection of the cable is a phy task and then it tells the charger to start. This part works. Charging did work up to kernel 4.3. It started to fail with 4.4-rc1 without obvious changes to the charger but many patches to phy and musb. We had even backported the 4.7 charger driver to 4.3 and it failed as well. > So > probably this needs to be fixed in phy-twl4030-usb.c and > twl4030_charger.c instead. Now it sounds like we're also shutting > down the charger with the USB PHY. As a very deeply hidden side-effect the charger is shut down immediately after being started. Because phy-twl4030-usb.c does not do what it is expected and told to do. I have developed a workaround for the charger driver but I do not consider it as the solution. http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=commit;h=b8c538e75c6dd034889bdb0d66e00ca6e128e616 > power:twl4030_charger: hack to set POWER_CTRL_OTG_ENAB what twl4030-phy does > not do > > This hack is a workaround in the charger driver to do what the twl4030-usb > driver is expected to have done.

With that we have a workaround in the charger, but not a correct solution. That is what Andreas is trying to fix. The charger driver seems to be ok to me. Hope this helps to better understand what is going wrong in phy4030 or musb. BR, Nikolaus
