Kernel 4.15

[dspmathguru]

Trying to compile with kernel 4.15.0-43-generic under Ubuntu 18.04.

There was a change from setup_timer to timer_setup. So made this simple change in the xhci.c and xhci-mem.c files.

setup_timer(a, b, c) ==> timer_setup(a, b, 0)

Then found out that the type of the call back 'b' is wrong. So not sure how to proceed.

Also, I wonder if xhci is even needed as in the kernel there is already files for xhci.

Please advise.

The code here was based of the 3.18 kernel. I agree it isn't ideal to have copies of the xhci* files from the normal kernel source in this repository. I had to make some changes to those files to work with this driver and maintaining a copy of the files is that way i chose to handle that.

As for the compile error, take a look at the diffs of those xhci files in the kernel source from 3.18 -> 4.15,
I can see that they changed the signature of the callback function.
in 3.18: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v3.18/source/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c#L820
in 4.15: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.15/source/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c#L938

Best thing to do would be to update all the xhci* files with the changes between 3.18 and 4.15.

What are you planning to use FL6000 for?

Thank you for the response. I would rather not use a public forum to discuss our future product plans. I believe your CEO knows about what we are doing and it is critical to have Linux support for your products. We do appreciate the support.
