Added usb_string function to a namespace

2025-04-14T16:35:44Z

with reference to WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/usb/gadget:804 There is a function usb_string in the file message.c, there is also a struct usb_string in the kernel api headers. The docs is unable to index the function as the index is occupied by struct This fix adds messgae.c to the usb_core namespace (in docs) hence providing usb_sting a unique index usb_core.usb_string() Signed-off-by: Kevin Paul Reddy Janagari Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250405165116.147958-1-kevinpaul468@gmail.com

USB: Remove Wireless USB and UWB documentation

2023-08-09T12:17:32Z

Support for Wireless USB and Ultra WideBand was removed in 2020 by commit caa6772db4c1 ("Staging: remove wusbcore and UWB from the kernel tree."). But the documentation files were left behind. Let's get rid of that out-of-date documentation. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/015d4310-bcd3-4ba4-9a0e-3664f281a9be@rowland.harvard.edu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

usb: Restore the usb_header label

2021-05-21T12:41:37Z

Commit caa93d9bd2d7 ("usb: Fix up movement of USB core kerneldoc location") removed the reference to the _usb_header label by mistake, which causes the following htmldocs build warning: Documentation/driver-api/usb/writing_usb_driver.rst:129: WARNING: undefined label: usb_header Restore the label.

usb: Restore the reference to ch9.h

2021-05-10T12:43:29Z

Keep the textual reference to ch9.h as it was prior to commit caa93d9bd2d7 ("usb: Fix up movement of USB core kerneldoc location"). As linux/usb/ch9.h does not contain comments anymore, explain that drivers/usb/common/common.c includes such header and provides declarations of a few utilities routines for manipulating the data types from ch9.h. Also mention that drivers/usb/common/debug.c contains some functions for creating debug output.

usb: Fix up movement of USB core kerneldoc location

2021-04-24T14:01:09Z

Commit 855b35ea96c4 ("usb: common: move function's kerneldoc next to its definition") moved the USB common function documentation out of the linux/usb/ch9.h header file into drivers/usb/common/common.c and drivers/usb/common/debug.c, which causes the following 'make htmldocs' build warning: include/linux/usb/ch9.h:1: warning: no structured comments found Fix that up by pointing the documentation at the correct location.

usb.rst: move documentation from proc_usb_info.txt to USB ReST book

2017-04-20T21:31:26Z

The contents of proc_usb_info.txt complements what's there at driver-api usb book. Yet, it is outdated, as it still refers to the USB character devices as usbfs. So, move the contents to usb.rst, adjusting it to point to the right places. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
