greybus: Add loopback protocol
Add a simple Greybus protocol in order to stress USB and Greybus. This protocol currently support 2 requests: ping and transfer. ping request is useful to measure latency. Kernel send a ping request and firmware should respond with a ping. The transfer request request is useful to stress Greybus and USB. Kernel can send data from 0 to 4k and the firmware must send back the data to kernel. This behaviour of gb-loopback module is controlled via sysfs. Curently, connection sysfs folder is updated with new entries: - type: Type of loopback message to send * 0 => Don't send message * 1 => Send ping message continuously (message without payload) * 2 => Send transer message continuously (message with payload) - size: Size of transfer message payload: 0-4096 bytes - ms_wait: Time to wait between two messages: 0-1024 ms Module also export some statistics about connection: - latency: Time to send and receive one message - frequency: Number of packet sent per second on this cport - throughput: Quantity of data sent and received on this cport - error All this statistics are cleared everytime type, size or ms_wait entries are updated.
