There is a custom (non-USB IF) extension to the USB standard: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/gg463182 They grant permission to use the specification - there is "Microsoft OS Descriptor Specification License Agreement" under the link mentioned above, and its Section 2 "Grant of License", letter (b) reads: "Patent license. Microsoft hereby grants to You a nonexclusive, royalty-free, nontransferable, worldwide license under Microsoft’s patents embodied solely within the Specification and that are owned or licensable by Microsoft to make, use, import, offer to sell, sell and distribute directly or indirectly to Your Licensees Your Implementation. You may sublicense this patent license to Your Licensees under the same terms and conditions." The said extension is maintained by Microsoft for Microsoft. Yet it is fairly common for various devices to use it, and a popular proprietary operating system expects devices to provide "OS descriptors", so Linux-based USB gadgets whishing to be able to talk to a variety of operating systems should be able to provide the "OS descriptors". This patch adds optional support for gadgets whishing to expose the so called "OS Feature Descriptors", that is "Extended Compatibility ID" and "Extended Properties". Hosts which do request "OS descriptors" from gadgets do so during the enumeration phase and before the configuration is set with SET_CONFIGURATION. What is more, those hosts never ask for configurations at indices other than 0. Therefore, gadgets whishing to provide "OS descriptors" must designate one configuration to be used with this kind of hosts - this is what os_desc_config is added for in struct usb_composite_dev. There is an additional advantage to it: if a gadget provides "OS descriptors" and designates one configuration to be used with such non-USB-compliant hosts it can invoke "usb_add_config" in any order because the designated configuration will be reported to be at index 0 anyway. This patch also adds handling vendor-specific requests addressed at device or interface and related to handling "OS descriptors".

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources: * This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview. ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has more information. * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes. The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9". * Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters. * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team. Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in them. core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd"). host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might be used with more specialized "embedded" systems. gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and the various gadget drivers which talk to them. Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into. image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or digital cameras. ../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem, like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc. ../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras, radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l subsystem. ../net/ - This is for network drivers. serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers. storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers. class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit into any of the above categories, and work for a range of USB Class specified devices. misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit into any of the above categories.
