Can you explain this statement? If charging is done via a USB peripheral port, why don't we have a 1:1 mapping between charger and UDC? > class, so can we use UDC class to manage charger devices? > By the way, you also suggested to use the 'class' things instead of > 'bus' in previous mail. true, I did say that. It seems clearer, however, that we don't need this virtual device here. >>> +subsys_initcall(usb_charger_class_init); >> >> this should always work as module_init().
