Marcin Bukat d3893ead3a rk27xx: keep interrupt and bulk endpoints in separate groups
USB mass storage writes ran at 0.03 MB/s in the firmware - to the NAND
and to the SD card alike - while the bootloader, with the same driver,
wrote the same NAND at 2 MB/s. The firmware adds a HID interface, and
without it writes ran at full speed.

The UDC's endpoints come in groups of three - bulk OUT, bulk IN,
interrupt IN: 1-3, 4-6 and so on - and allocation handed out the first
free endpoint of each type, so HID's interrupt endpoint 3 landed in the
group of mass storage's bulk endpoints 1 and 2. The host polls it every
16 ms, the idle endpoint NAKs, and each poll costs the group's bulk
traffic: writes advanced about one packet per poll. Polled every 125 us
instead, they all but stopped; moved to endpoint 6, in a group of its
own, they ran at 2.36 MB/s, as without HID.

Never give an interrupt endpoint a group with bulk endpoints in use, or
the other way round, whichever class asks first. Since which endpoints
are available then depends on what is already allocated, the driver
tracks the allocation itself - option 2 of usb_drv.h, as usb-designware
does - with its context in usb-rk27xx.h, which usb_core.c includes before
usb_drv.h. HID keeps working.

Tested on a generic rk2705 with ums_stress.py over USB mass storage to
the SD card: 0.03 MB/s with HID on endpoint 3, 2.36 MB/s with it on
endpoint 6 - the allocation this change produces for mass storage plus
HID. (Measured with the driver's earlier allocator, before the USB core
took allocation over; this carries the same rule into the new scheme.)

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Clone 'rockbox' from git (or extract a downloaded archive).

   $ git clone git://git.rockbox.org/rockbox

     or

   $ tar xJf rockbox.tar.xz

2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
   and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.

   $ cd rockbox
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build

3. Make sure you have mips/m68k/arm-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
   that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
   a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
   can be generated using the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
   source.

   $ which arm-elf-eabi-gcc
   $ which perl

4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
   target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
   few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
   gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
   Archos.

   $ ../tools/configure

5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.

6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
   directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.

   $ make
   $ make zip

7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
   *smile*.

If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:

   $ mkdir build-fuzeplus
   $ cd build-fuzeplus
   $ ../tools/configure

   $ mkdir build-xduoox3
   $ cd build-xduoox3
   $ ../tools/configure
