[ Upstream commit d0aac7d811775a2e98a02c7f172e0a9e97d9e004 ]

During manual tuning, residual data in the async FIFO from previous
commands may impact with the tuning process. To ensure a clean state:

1. Set the RST_FIFO bit (SYS_CTRL[22]) to reset the async FIFO.
2. Poll the bit until self-cleared, confirming reset completion.

This hardening ensures the tuning command starts with a clean FIFO state,
improving the reliability of the manual tuning procedure.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
my comprehensive analysis: ## Backport Assessment: YES - High Priority
### Key Factors Supporting Backport: **1. Bug Fix Nature - Critical
Reliability Issue** The commit addresses a specific hardware reliability
problem where residual data in the async FIFO interferes with manual
tuning commands. This directly impacts the success rate of high-speed
MMC/SD card initialization and operation. **2. Code Analysis - Low Risk,
Targeted Fix** Looking at the actual changes in
`esdhc_prepare_tuning()`: - **Minimal scope**: Only 8 lines of new code
in a single function - **Hardware-safe operation**: Uses manufacturer-
recommended `RST_FIFO` bit (BIT(22)) - **Proper error handling**:
Includes timeout protection with `readl_poll_timeout()` - **Non-
intrusive**: Only affects tuning preparation, not normal data operations
**3. Hardware Context - Established Pattern** The fix follows
established patterns seen in related drivers: - Similar
`esdhc_flush_async_fifo()` functionality exists in `sdhci-of-esdhc.c` -
The async FIFO is a known hardware component (debug register
`ESDHC_DEBUG_SEL_ASYNC_FIFO_STATE`) - Hardware vendor (NXP/Freescale)
recommendation as indicated by comments **4. Critical Functionality
Impact** Manual tuning is essential for: - High-speed eMMC/SD operation
(HS200, HS400, UHS-I modes) - Reliable card initialization in production
systems - Storage performance optimization in embedded devices **5. Risk
Assessment - Very Low** - **Regression risk**: Minimal - only affects
tuning preparation phase - **Timeout protection**: Prevents infinite
loops if hardware doesn't respond - **Warning mechanism**: Non-fatal
error handling maintains system stability - **Isolated scope**: Changes
are contained within a single function **6. Affected Hardware - Wide
Impact** i.MX SoCs with ESDHC controllers are widely deployed in: -
Embedded systems and IoT devices - Industrial automation systems -
Consumer electronics - Automotive applications ### Comparison with
Similar Commits: Unlike the provided examples (which were marked "NO"
for being optimization/cleanup changes), this commit: - **Fixes a
specific reliability issue** (not just optimization) - **Addresses
hardware errata** (vendor-recommended workaround) - **Improves critical
functionality** (storage device reliability) - **Has minimal regression
risk** (targeted, well-contained change) ### Conclusion: This commit
meets all criteria for stable tree backporting: it fixes an important
bug affecting user-visible functionality (storage reliability), is low-
risk and contained, and addresses a hardware-level issue that impacts
production systems. The async FIFO reset ensures clean state for tuning
commands, directly improving the reliability of high-speed storage
operations on widely-deployed i.MX platforms.
