[PATCH 0/3] usb: usb251xb: Add upstream port lanes polarity inversion

[Serge Semin]

A while ago I created an original patchset with functionality of any ports
inversion setting implemented. But while I was busy with another work,
Marco' version of the similar code has already been upstreamed.
So I decided to at least refactor my patchset extracting alterations,
which I think might be useful in the driver.

Even though the Marco' implementation was correct in general, it lacked a
small specific detail. The polarity inversion property might be setup for
downstream and upstream ports. Both of these cases are covered by current
'swap-dx-lanes' property implementation, but there is no any mentioning
about number 0 being considered as Upstream port of the hub. This might be
confusing seeing the rest of the port-related properties accept
only the ports starting from 1 (which is starting number of downstream
ports) and don't support number 0. So in order to unify the 'swap-dx-lanes'
property with the rest port-related ones, I'd suggest to make it being
responsible for downstream ports only, while upstream port lanes inversion
would be enabled by setting a new 'swap-us-lanes' boolean property. Current
property names mnemonic also fits quiet well for this update.

In addition the usb251xb_get_ofdata() method is getting to be too
complicated with obvious identical peaces of code. In particular it
concerns the ports-related properties like 'non-removable-ports',
'sp-disabled-ports' and 'bp-disabled-ports'. We can simplify the code
responsible for the properties handling by moving a common part into
a dedicated method. Needless to say that in case if the suggestion made
above regarding the 'swap-dx-lanes' property alteration is accepted,
the same could be done for parsing it' code as well.

So all of these updates are implemented in the patches of this small
series.
