cover ARM: dts: socfpga: fix booting with SD/MMC

From: Dinh Nguyen <[email protected]>

The SOCFPGA dev kit was hanging during bootup on the SD/MMC driver loading. The first patch fixes the booting and the 2nd patch adds a regulator node for the SD/MMC driver to use.

PATCH 1/2 ARM: dts: socfpga: Fix SD card detect

From: Dinh Nguyen <[email protected]>

Without this patch, the booting the SOCFPGA platform would hang at the SDMMC driver loading. There were 2 patches that caused this to happen:

- Patch 9795a846e10 "mmc: dw_mmc: remove dw_mci_of_cd_gpio/wp_gpio()" removed looking for "cd-gpios", since mmc_of_parse was getting called.
- Patch 3cf890fc42b "mmc: dw_mmc: Pass back errors from mmc_of_parse()" would hang the system at the SDMMC driver loading.

This patch will fix booting with SDMMC enabled on SOCFPGA dev kit.

PATCH 2/2 ARM: dts: socfpga: Add a 3.3V fixed regulator node

In reply to dinguyen at opensource.altera.com

From: Dinh Nguyen <[email protected]>

Without the 3.3V regulator node, the SDMMC driver will give these warnings:

dw_mmc ff704000.dwmmc0: No vmmc regulator found
dw_mmc ff704000.dwmmc0: No vqmmc regulator found

This patch adds the regulator node, and points the SD/MMC to the regulator.

Yes, this is a generic 3.3V regulator that is used for the 3.3V power rail for the SOC, and any IP the needs 3.3V.

Schematics are here:

yeah...My original patch had the regulator placed in it's appropriate dts board file, but I saw that as a bit of duplication. I figured that most people are just copying Altera's devkit schematic, that if a new board file shows up that has a different controllable regulator, then the board file can have the new regulator node. Meanwhile, this patch saves adding an additional regulator node for the existing board files.

The 3.3V is not just used by MMC, but the for all 3.3V peripherals.

Thanks for feedback.

The 3.3V is not just used by MMC, but the for all 3.3V peripherals.

The advantage of putting it in each board file is you could name it based on the schematics. I see SoCKit_RevC it is named "VCC3P3"

It also allows you to specify the 3.3 supply as the output of a real regulator driver. In s5_soc_devkit it looks like this comes from LTC2978. That's got i2c connections. What happens when you add a driver for that?

Without the 3.3V regulator node, the SDMMC driver will give these warnings:

dw_mmc ff704000.dwmmc0: No vmmc regulator found
dw_mmc ff704000.dwmmc0: No vqmmc regulator found

This patch adds the regulator node, and points the SD/MMC to the regulator.

This regulator also looks pretty bogus to me. Is this really a regulator that software has no control over? It means you can't fully reset a card but I guess that's OK.

Yes, this is a generic 3.3V regulator that is used for the 3.3V power rail for the SOC, and any IP the needs 3.3V.

Schematics are here:

And right, I don't see anyway to be able to reset the card.

I'd also expect this regulator to be defined in the same dts / dtsi file that it's used in. Your current patch says "there's a generic 3.3V regulator on all boards of the socfpga_arria5 class even if they don't use MMC, but the "socfpga_arria5_socdk" uses it for MMC. Is that really true?

yeah...My original patch had the regulator placed in it's appropriate dts board file, but I saw that as a bit of duplication. I figured that most people are just copying Altera's devkit schematic, that if a new board file shows up that has a different controllable regulator, then the board file can have the new regulator node. Meanwhile, this patch saves adding an additional regulator node for the existing board files.

The 3.3V is not just used by MMC, but the for all 3.3V peripherals.

The advantage of putting it in each board file is you could name it based on the schematics. I see SoCKit_RevC it is named "VCC3P3"

That's fine. I can edit the patch so that each regulator node goes into it's respective board dts file.

Quoted 5 lines

It also allows you to specify the 3.3 supply as the output of a real regulator driver. In s5_soc_devkit it looks like this comes from LTC2978. That's got i2c connections. What happens when you add a driver for that?

Do you mean the c5_soc_devkit? If so, then the 3.3V is coming from the LTC3885 regulator. The LTC2978 is a regulator for the the 3.3V_HPS or 3.3V_REG_HPS which is used by others.

So I should change the regulator name from 3.3V_HPS to just 3.3V for the c5_soc_devkit.

Oops, right. c5_soc_devkit_c.

I guess I got confused since your regulator name in the dts was "HPS 3.3V". When I saw "3.3V_PM_HPS" I assumed it was the same.

On <http://www.rocketboards.org/pub/Documentation/AlteraSoCDevelopmentBoard/c5_soc_devkit_c.pdf?t=1365712679>
I don't see a 3885. Oh, 3855. I see.

Quoted 2 lines

So I should change the regulator name from 3.3V_HPS to just 3.3V for the c5_soc_devkit.

Yes, that's my opinion. Matching the schematics can be a huge benefit and can avoid confusion! :)
