This series tries to address rather odd behavior from BCM2711's
integration of sdhci-iproc (Raspberry Pi 4's SoC). The controller will
timeout on SDHCI CMDs under the following conditions:
- No SD card plugged in (the card polling thread is running, CD irq disabled).
- BCM2711's VPU clock configured at 500MHz or more, lower clocks are OK.
There is no specific command that will time out, it seems random.
I found out that by bumping the controller's frequency to 150MHz the
issue disapears. So let's do that.
Regards,
Nicolas

That's the maintainers for the bindings, not the devicetrees consuming them. I

Based on my limited knowledge and an old SD card specification, all

concern here is, that in case we limit the frequency to a specific value
we could break things just to suppress a warning.
More background information about this issue would be helpful.

SDHCI should be able to handle up to 233MHz IIRC, and there are divisors
available, it depends on the implementation but the worst kind provide /2^n.
Not perfect, but good enough for things to work.
Now, I've been having a deeper look into how clocks are handled, and found two
new clues:
- First of all RPi4's sdhci-iproc needs SDHCI_QUIRK_CAP_CLOCK_BASE_BROKEN,
that is, the controller isn't properly identifying the clock frequency fed
into it, and defaults to saying it's configured at 100MHz. I'm not an SDHCI
expert, so it's possible changing frequencies also needs a special operation
to recalculate this variable. But this was making all internal calculations
wrong when paired with this series.
- With this flag set SDHCI's core now properly calculates divisor values based
on whatever clock frequency I set in DT. And guess what, the issue reappears
even when running on 150MHz. It turns out, as I had some debugging enabled,
the issue only happens when the controller is configured at 100KHz (that
only happens while running the card detect thread).
So, I can now do this (note that for card detection try to communicate with the
card starting at 400KHz down to 100KHz in 100KHz steps):

Nicolas,
Sorry, I just noticed this thread.
This is a known bug in some newer Arasan cores.
The problem happens when the difference between the core clock and the
bus clock is too great.
Limiting the clock to 200KHz minimum should be a good fix.
In my experience, it's only eMMC that needs the clock to be retried
below 400KHz and not SD or SDIO. That's because the CMD signal for
eMMC starts out as open-drain during identification and the size of
the pull-up on the CMD signal can require the <400KHz clock. Once eMMC
is out of identification mode the CMD signal is switched to push-pull
and can run at much higher clock rates.
I don't think that SD and SDIO have any open-drain signals, so they
shouldn't need to retry at slower clock speeds.
I'm trying to get more detail on the bug, like the exact ratio of core
clock to bus clock that causes the problem. When I first found this
bug I was told that the failure would not happen at 200KHz, but we
were using a 405MHz core clock.
One other question. Why are you using polling for the SD card, this
newer controller supports the interrupt driven "Card Inserted" signal
and avoids wasting time polling?

i don't want to bike-shed here, but is there any chance to solve this in
clk-bcm2835 in a less hacky way?
What do you have in mind?
Sorry, nothing specific.

All I can think of is adding some kind of heuristic to the clock's prepare()
callback. That said, I don't feel it would be a better solution than this.
Based on my limited knowledge and an old SD card specification, all
possibly connected devices could have different frequencies. So my
concern here is, that in case we limit the frequency to a specific value
we could break things just to suppress a warning.
SDHCI should be able to handle up to 233MHz IIRC, and there are divisors
available, it depends on the implementation but the worst kind provide /2^n.
Not perfect, but good enough for things to work.
Now, I've been having a deeper look into how clocks are handled, and found two
new clues:
- First of all RPi4's sdhci-iproc needs SDHCI_QUIRK_CAP_CLOCK_BASE_BROKEN,
that is, the controller isn't properly identifying the clock frequency fed
into it, and defaults to saying it's configured at 100MHz. I'm not an SDHCI
expert, so it's possible changing frequencies also needs a special operation
to recalculate this variable. But this was making all internal calculations
wrong when paired with this series.
- With this flag set SDHCI's core now properly calculates divisor values based
on whatever clock frequency I set in DT. And guess what, the issue reappears
even when running on 150MHz. It turns out, as I had some debugging enabled,
the issue only happens when the controller is configured at 100KHz (that
only happens while running the card detect thread).
So, I can now do this (note that for card detection try to communicate with the
card starting at 400KHz down to 100KHz in 100KHz steps):

Nicolas,
Sorry, I just noticed this thread.
This is a known bug in some newer Arasan cores.
The problem happens when the difference between the core clock and the bus
clock is too great.
Limiting the clock to 200KHz minimum should be a good fix.
Great, that's what I was hoping to hear :). Out of curiosity, can you share
more details on how the failure occurs?
In my experience, it's only eMMC that needs the clock to be retried
below 400KHz and not SD or SDIO. That's because the CMD signal for
eMMC starts out as open-drain during identification and the size of
the pull-up on the CMD signal can require the <400KHz clock. Once eMMC
is out of identification mode the CMD signal is switched to push-pull
and can run at much higher clock rates.
Fair enough, I need to do some tests, some of the compute modules use an eMMC.
I don't think that SD and SDIO have any open-drain signals, so they
shouldn't need to retry at slower clock speeds.
Noted.
I'm trying to get more detail on the bug, like the exact ratio of core
clock to bus clock that causes the problem. When I first found this
bug I was told that the failure would not happen at 200KHz, but we
were using a 405MHz core clock.
That would be nice to have.
One other question. Why are you using polling for the SD card, this
newer controller supports the interrupt driven "Card Inserted" signal
and avoids wasting time polling?

Nicolas,
I got a better description of the failure and it looks like the bus
clock needs to be limited to 300KHz for a 500MHz core clock.
What's happening is that an internal reset sequence is needed after a
command timeout and the reset signal needs to be asserted for at least
2 ticks of the bus clock. This is done using a 12 bit counter clocked
by the core clock. That means a 500MHz core clock produces a 122KHz
reset signal which is too fast for 2 ticks of the 200KHz bus clock
(100KHz) but is okay for the 300KHz (150Khz) bus clock.

Thanks for the info. I'll work something out.

Is there any value in implementing this in a generic way? That is, will a SoC
other than BCM2711 ever need this? Otherwise I can simply limit BCM2711's
sdhci-iproc min clk frequency to 300KHz and call it a day.
The alternative is something the likes of:
min_clk = clk_get_rate(core_bus) >> 11;
But it involves updating the bindings and DT.

Nicolas

i don't have any idea which callback could manipulate the reset
duration. Limiting the min clk frequency looks like the less invasive
solution to me. Touching the DT isn't recommend.
