USB: ehci-dbgp,documentation: Documentation updates for ehci-dbgp
Add missing information about requirements of using the EHCI usb debug controller as well as to mention you can use a debug controller other than the first one in the system.

d.) The Netchip device must be plugged directly into the physical

debug port on the "host/target" system. You cannot use a USB hub in

between the physical debug port and the "host/target" system.
|

|

The EHCI debug controller is bound to a specific physical USB
|
||||
port and the Netchip device will only work as an early printk
|
||||
device in this port. The EHCI host controllers are electrically
|
||||
wired such that the EHCI debug controller is hooked up to the
|
||||
first physical and there is no way to change this via software.
|
||||
You can find the physical port through experimentation by trying
|
||||
each physical port on the system and rebooting. Or you can try
|
||||
and use lsusb or look at the kernel info messages emitted by the
|

usb stack when you plug a usb device into various ports on the
|

"host/target" system.
|

|

Some hardware vendors do not expose the usb debug port with a
|
||||
physical connector and if you find such a device send a complaint
|
||||
to the hardware vendor, because there is no reason not to wire
|
||||
this port into one of the physically accessible ports.

e.) It is also important to note, that many versions of the Netchip

device require the "client/console" system to be plugged into the
|

right and side of the device (with the product logo facing up and
|
||||
readable left to right). The reason being is that the 5 volt
|
||||
power supply is taken from only one side of the device and it
|
||||
must be the side that does not get rebooted.

On systems with more than one EHCI debug controller you must

specify the correct EHCI debug controller number. The ordering

comes from the PCI bus enumeration of the EHCI controllers. The

default with no number argument is "0" the first EHCI debug

controller. To use the second EHCI debug controller, you would

use the command line: "earlyprintk=dbgp1"

NOTE: normally earlyprintk console gets turned off once the
