Ah, right. That's probably a large part of the reason it wasn't done
correctly. Or maybe I just wasn't thinking clearly when I wrote it...

Better yet, move that entire bus_mA calculation from usb_add_hcd to
hub_configure. It should be something like this:
if (hdev == hdev->bus->root_hub) {
+ if (hcd->power_budget > 0)
+ hdev->bus_mA = hcd->power_budget;
+ else
+ hdev->bus_mA = full_load * hdev->maxchild;
+ if (hdev->bus_mA >= full_load)
- if (hdev->bus_mA == 0 || hdev->bus_mA >= full_load)
hub->mA_per_port = full_load;
else {
hub->mA_per_port = hdev->bus_mA;
hub->limited_power = 1;
}
Leaving rhdev->bus_mA set to 0 for a while shouldn't hurt anything,
because our config descriptors for root hubs all have bMaxPower equal
to 0.
In case this isn't clear (which seems quite likely), hdev->bus_mA
represents the total amount of current available for use by the hub
itself plus its downstream devices. So on a regular PC, where each
root-hub port can supply a full load, we say that the root hub uses no
power and hdev->bus_mA is a full load times the number of ports.
This all makes more sense if you think about external hubs.

True, hub->mA_per_port isn't affected by the multiplication. But look
at the calculation in hub_power_remaining -- it won't work right if
hdev->bus_mA isn't set correctly.

People haven't paid all that much attention to it. Most likely it
doesn't matter all that much except for OTG hosts.

Hopefully they will work correctly with these changes regardless.
