Disable USB VBUS power supply

[enginlee]

Hi,

I am trying to power off USB port on my i.MX6ULL with 4.14.78 BSP and there is an instruction on the reference manual:

4.9.8 How to Close the USB Child Device Power
The following code string outlines how to close the USB child device power:
echo auto > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/power/control
echo auto > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.1/power/control (If there is a hub at USB device)

But it seems not working like that:

echo auto > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/power/control   // -> nothing happened

echo auto > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/control   // -> device detached, but VBUS 5V is still ON

Even if I enter deep sleep mode (echo mem > /sys/power/state), VBUS 5V  is still ON.

Is there any setting or configuration to change this behavior? I don't want to get USB devices to be charged from USB port after entering deep sleep mode.

Thanks,

Actually USB is powered even in deep sleep mode.
Please try to turn off USB power with the command like this:

# echo suspend > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/control

Have a great day,
Victor

But I got an error...

# echo suspend > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/control
sh: write error: Invalid argument
# echo suspend > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/power/control
sh: write error: Invalid argument

Finally, I found a way to control VBUS 5V power:

Build ChipIdea USB driver as kernel modules, and then you can enable/disable VBUS 5V power by installing/removing ko file.
