PATCH 1/4 dm: device_remove: Don't return in device_chld_remove() upon error

On my x86 platform I've noticed, that calling dm_uninit() or the new function dm_remove_devices_flags() does not remove the desired device at all. Debugging showed, that the serial uclass returns -EPERM in serial_pre_remove() and this leads to a complete stop of the device removal pretty early, as the serial device is one of the first ones in the DM. Here the dm tree output:

=> dm tree
Class Probed Name
----------------------------------------

 root        [ + ]    root_driver
 rsa_mod_exp [   ]    |-- mod_exp_sw
 serial      [ + ]    |-- serial
 rtc         [   ]    |-- rtc
 timer       [ + ]    |-- tsc-timer
 syscon      [ + ]    |-- pch_pinctrl

...

In this example, device_remove(root) will stop directly after trying to remove the "serial" device.

To solve this problem, this patch removes the return upon error check in the device_remove() call in device_chld_remove(). This leads to device_chld_remove() continuing with the device_remove() call to the following child devices.

PATCH 2/4 dm: core: Add DM_FLAG_PRE_OS_FINALIZE flag

This new flag can be added to DM device drivers, which need to do some final configuration before U-Boot exits and the OS (e.g. Linux) is started. The remove functions of those drivers will get called at this stage to do these last-stage configuration steps.

You could perhaps have a separate patch to move the code into flags_remove(), but I suppose it isn't important.

PATCH 4/4 spi: ich: Configure SPI BIOS parameters for Linux upon U-Boot exit

In reply to Stefan Roese

This patch adds a remove function to the Intel ICH SPI driver, that will be called upon U-Boot exit, directly before the OS (Linux) is started. This function takes care of configuring the BIOS registers in the SPI controller (similar to what a "standard" BIOS or coreboot does), so that the Linux MTD device driver is able to correctly read/write to the SPI NOR chip. Without this, the chip is not detected at all.

PATCH 1/4 dm: device_remove: Don't return in device_chld_remove() upon error

In reply to Stefan Roese

Hi Stefan,

Quoted 18 lines · Stefan Roese

On my x86 platform I've noticed, that calling dm_uninit() or the new function dm_remove_devices_flags() does not remove the desired device at all. Debugging showed, that the serial uclass returns -EPERM in serial_pre_remove() and this leads to a complete stop of the device removal pretty early, as the serial device is one of the first ones in the DM. Here the dm tree output:

=> dm tree
Class Probed Name
----------------------------------------

In this example, device_remove(root) will stop directly after trying to remove the "serial" device.

To solve this problem, this patch removes the return upon error check in the device_remove() call in device_chld_remove(). This leads to device_chld_remove() continuing with the device_remove() call to the following child devices.

I think the right solution is to find out why stdio_deregister_dev() fails. It is probably because the device is in use within the stdio variables. Perhaps you need to remove it first?

PATCH 1/4 dm: device_remove: Don't return in device_chld_remove() upon error

Hi Simon,

sorry for the late replay - just back from vacation....

Hi Stefan,

On my x86 platform I've noticed, that calling dm_uninit() or the new function dm_remove_devices_flags() does not remove the desired device at all. Debugging showed, that the serial uclass returns -EPERM in serial_pre_remove() and this leads to a complete stop of the device removal pretty early, as the serial device is one of the first ones in the DM. Here the dm tree output:

=> dm tree
Class Probed Name
----------------------------------------

 root        [ + ]    root_driver
 rsa_mod_exp [   ]    |-- mod_exp_sw
 serial      [ + ]    |-- serial
 rtc         [   ]    |-- rtc
 timer       [ + ]    |-- tsc-timer
 syscon      [ + ]    |-- pch_pinctrl

...

In this example, device_remove(root) will stop directly after trying to remove the "serial" device.

Not sure if this should / could be done in this general case of removal of all devices (or all devices matching a remove-flag)? Please think of dm_uninit() being called. This functions should have no internal knowledge of usage of devices. One thing I could do, probably best in a separate patch, is to use the force flag of stdio_deregister_dev() in serial_pre_remove() to force the serial device(s) to be removed in this case. What do you think?

I think we should keep the error checking here.

The main fix with this patch is, that removing of child devices does not stop once an error is encountered. Even if an error occurs with one child-device of a parent, all other child-devices of this parent should still be removed - or at least tried to.

So what does this error code buy us here? Should I print a log message here in this error case?

Thanks,
Stefan

I think that sounds reasonable. I don't know this area very well though.

Yes just a debug() will do. I see what you are saying, I'm just nervous of dropping error checking since devices really should remove cleanly. Hopefully as above you can fix the error?
