[PATCH] usb: gadget: f_hid: optional SETUP/SET_REPORT mode

From: Maxim Devaev
Date: Fri Aug 13 2021 - 07:46:37 EST


f_hid provides the OUT Endpoint for receiving reports from the host.
The USB HID standard describes the OUT Endpoint support as optional,
and hosts can ignore it if they don't support it.
However, this raises several problems.

(1) Some host OS drivers without OUT Endpoint support can't receive
reports at all. In the case of the keyboard, it becomes impossible
to get the status of the LEDs from the host OS.

(2) Some BIOSes and UEFIs not only don't support the OUT Endpoint,
they cannot work with HID with this configuration at all.
For example, absolutely all Apple UEFIs in all Macs can't handle
the OUT Endpoint in accordance with the HID standard so it makes
impossible to enter the Boot Menu using the hotkey at boot.
This problem also occurs on HP and DELL BIOSes and in some dumb
devices with primitive embedded firmware like KVM switches.

This patch adds option no_out_endpoint=1 to disable the OUT Endpoint
and allow f_hid to receive reports from the host via SETUP/SET_REPORT.

Previously, there was such a feature in f_hid, but it was replaced
by the OUT Endpoint ("usb: gadget: hidg: register OUT INT endpoint
for SET_REPORT"). It seems that no one knew at the time that it would
cause problems with BIOS. So this patch actually returns the removed
functionality making it optional. For backward compatibility reasons,
the OUT Endpoint mode remains the default behaviour.

If the SETUP/SET_REPORT mode is used, there is no event processing queue,
so the user will only read the last report. For classic HID devices
like keyboard this is not a problem, since it is intended to transmit
the status of the LEDs and only the last report is important.

Both modes pass USBCV tests. Checking with the USB protocol analyzer
also confirms that everything is working as it should and the new mode
ensures operability in all of the described cases.
