+- Convert interrupt handler to per-ep-thread-irq
+
+ As it turns out some DWC3-commands ~1ms to complete. Currently we spin
+ until the command completes which is bad.
+
+ Implementation idea:
+ - dwc core implements a demultiplexing irq chip for interrupts per
+ endpoint. The interrupt numbers are allocated during probe and belong
+ to the device. If MSI provides per-endpoint interrupt this dummy
+ interrupt chip can be replaced with "real" interrupts.
+ - interrupts are requested / allocated on usb_ep_enable() and removed on
+ usb_ep_disable(). Worst case are 32 interrupts, the lower limit is two
+ for ep0/1.
+ - dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd() will sleep in wait_for_completion_timeout()
+ until the command completes.
+ - the interrupt handler is split into the following pieces:
+ - primary handler of the device
+ goes through every event and calls generic_handle_irq() for event
+ it. On return from generic_handle_irq() in acknowledges the event
+ counter so interrupt goes away (eventually).
+
+ - threaded handler of the device
+ none
+
+ - primary handler of the EP-interrupt
+ reads the event and tries to process it. Everything that requries
+ sleeping is handed over to the Thread. The event is saved in an
+ per-endpoint data-structure.
+ We probably have to pay attention not to process events once we
+ handed something to thread so we don't process event X prio Y
+ where X > Y.
+
+ - threaded handler of the EP-interrupt
+ handles the remaining EP work which might sleep such as waiting
+ for command completion.
+
+ Latency:
+ There should be no increase in latency since the interrupt-thread has a
+ high priority and will be run before an average task in user land
+ (except the user changed priorities).

+ xHCI hardware link PM
+ ---------------------
+
+xHCI host controller provides hardware link power management to usb2.0
+(xHCI 1.0 feature) and usb3.0 devices which support link PM. By
+enabling hardware LPM, the host can automatically put the device into
+lower power state(L1 for usb2.0 devices, or U1/U2 for usb3.0 devices),
+which state device can enter and resume very quickly.
+
+The user interface for controlling USB2 hardware LPM is located in the
+power/ subdirectory of each USB device's sysfs directory, that is, in
+/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/ where "..." is the device's ID. The
+relevant attribute files is usb2_hardware_lpm.
+
+ power/usb2_hardware_lpm
+
+ When a USB2 device which support LPM is plugged to a
+ xHCI host root hub which support software LPM, the
+ host will run a software LPM test for it; if the device
+ enters L1 state and resume successfully and the host
+ supports USB2 hardware LPM, this file will show up and
+ driver will enable hardware LPM for the device. You
+ can write y/Y/1 or n/N/0 to the file to enable/disable
+ USB2 hardware LPM manually. This is for test purpose mainly.
