Pull USB / Thunderbolt updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of USB and Thunderbolt patches for 5.14-rc1. Nothing major here just lots of little changes for new hardware and features. Highlights are: - more USB 4 support added to the thunderbolt core - build warning fixes all over the place - usb-serial driver updates and new device support - mtu3 driver updates - gadget driver updates - dwc3 driver updates - dwc2 driver updates - isp1760 host driver updates - musb driver updates - lots of other tiny things. Full details are in the shortlog. All of these have been in linux-next for a while now with no reported issues" * tag 'usb-5.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb: (223 commits) phy: qcom-qusb2: Add configuration for SM4250 and SM6115 dt-bindings: phy: qcom,qusb2: document sm4250/6115 compatible dt-bindings: usb: qcom,dwc3: Add bindings for sm6115/4250 USB: cdc-acm: blacklist Heimann USB Appset device usb: xhci-mtk: allow multiple Start-Split in a microframe usb: ftdi-elan: remove redundant continue statement in a while-loop usb: class: cdc-wdm: return the correct errno code xhci: remove redundant continue statement usb: dwc3: Fix debugfs creation flow usb: gadget: hid: fix error return code in hid_bind() usb: gadget: eem: fix echo command packet response issue usb: gadget: f_hid: fix endianness issue with descriptors Revert "USB: misc: Add onboard_usb_hub driver" Revert "of/platform: Add stubs for of_platform_device_create/destroy()" Revert "usb: host: xhci-plat: Create platform device for onboard hubs in probe()" Revert "arm64: dts: qcom: sc7180-trogdor: Add nodes for onboard USB hub" xhci: solve a double free problem while doing s4 xhci: handle failed buffer copy to URB sg list and fix a W=1 copiler warning xhci: Add adaptive interrupt rate for isoch TRBs with XHCI_AVOID_BEI quirk xhci: Remove unused defines for ERST_SIZE and ERST_ENTRIES ...

+Upgrading on-board retimer NVM when there is no cable connected
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+If the platform supports, it may be possible to upgrade the retimer NVM
+firmware even when there is nothing connected to the USB4
+ports. When this is the case the ``usb4_portX`` devices have two special
+attributes: ``offline`` and ``rescan``. The way to upgrade the firmware
+is to first put the USB4 port into offline mode::
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-0/usb4_port1/offline
+
+This step makes sure the port does not respond to any hotplug events,
+and also ensures the retimers are powered on. The next step is to scan
+for the retimers::
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-0/usb4_port1/rescan
+
+This enumerates and adds the on-board retimers. Now retimer NVM can be
+upgraded in the same way than with cable connected (see previous
+section). However, the retimer is not disconnected as we are offline
+mode) so after writing ``1`` to ``nvm_authenticate`` one should wait for
+5 or more seconds before running rescan again::
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-0/usb4_port1/rescan
+
+This point if everything went fine, the port can be put back to
+functional state again::
+
+ # echo 0 > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-0/usb4_port1/offline
+
Upgrading NVM when host controller is in safe mode
--------------------------------------------------
If the existing NVM is not properly authenticated (or is missing) the
