Re: Resetting USB HC .. During kernel boot

[Prabhu Chawandi]

Hi Alan,

  I am working on a board, where USB controller is on chip. and this
has both UHC and EHC.  I have to reset these during the boot up.
Bootloader does not reset it before handing over control to kernel, I
am facing crash. So I am planning to reset here in kernel.

Can you help to locate the file, where this part of the code can be inserted.

Thanks in advance,
Prabhu
