Nico Huber e79595def5 libpayload: Use interrupt transfers for USB hubs
In interactive payloads, the USB stack's poll procedure is implicitly
called from the UI loop. Since all USB control transfers are handled
synchronously, polling hubs with these slows the UI significantly down.

So switch to interrupt transfers that are done asynchronously and only
perform control transfers when the hub reported a status change.

We use the interrupt endpoint's max packet size instead of the theo-
retical transfer length of `(bNrPorts + 1) / 8` as Linux' code mentions
hubs that return too much data.

libpayload README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

libpayload is a minimal library to support standalone payloads
that can be booted with firmware like coreboot. It handles the setup
code, and provides common C library symbols such as malloc() and printf().

Note: This is _not_ a standard library for use with an operating system,
rather it's only useful for coreboot payload development!
See https://www.coreboot.org for details on coreboot.


Installation
------------

 $ git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot.git

 $ cd coreboot/payloads/libpayload

 $ make menuconfig

 $ make

 $ make install (optional, will install into ./install per default)

On x86 systems, libpayload will always be 32-bit even if your host OS runs
in 64-bit, so you might have to install the 32-bit libgcc version.
On Debian systems you'd do 'apt-get install gcc-multilib' for example.

Run 'make distclean' before switching boards. This command will remove
your current .config file, so you need 'make menuconfig' again or
'make defconfig' in order to set up configuration. Default configuration
is based on 'configs/defconfig'. See the configs/ directory for examples
of configuration.


Usage
-----

Here's an example of a very simple payload (hello.c) and how to build it:

 #include <libpayload.h>

 int main(void)
 {
     printf("Hello, world!\n");
     return 0;
 }

Building the payload using the 'lpgcc' compiler wrapper:

 $ lpgcc -o hello.elf hello.c

Please see the sample/ directory for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

The main website is https://www.coreboot.org/Libpayload.

coreboot mailing list at https://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist, where most
libpayload developers are subscribed.
