In preparation to add support for new generation SoCs like MT8196, MT6991 and other variants, which require to set bus protection on different busses than the ones found on legacy chips, and to also simplify and reduce memory footprint of this driver, refactor the mechanism to retrieve and use the bus protection regmaps. This is done by removing the three pointers to struct regmap from struct scpsys_domain (allocated for each power domain) and moving them to the main struct scpsys (allocated per driver instance) as an array of pointers to regmap named **bus_prot.Trying to boot v6.18.0-rc1 on a Genio 700 EVK using the arm64 defconfig, ends up hanging at boot (seemingly when probing MTU3 and/or mmc, but that might be a red herring). Either reverting this patch *or* having CONFIG_MTK_MMSYS builtin rather then a module seems to solve that.Thanks for the report. This is not a problem with this patch specifically, but surely some race condition that was already present before and that does get uncovered with this one in some conditions. Without the devicetree updates (which are not upstream yet) this patch is fully retaining the legacy functionality 1-to-1. I'll check what's going on ASAP. Cheers, AngeloThis issue also happened on mt8195. I've done bisect on linux-next master with mt8195-genio-1200-evk board. The result shows c29345fa5f66bea0790cf2219f57b974d4fc177b is the first bad commit. I cannot simply revert this commit since there are some dependencies commits. I'm not sure if there are any API or flag change would affect interaction between the pm-domain driver and scp firmware.I'm 99% sure that the SCP firmware has nothing to do with this - but then even if it did, there's some quirk to be uncovered and properly handled. So - if it is (again, most probably not) a firmware issue, it was only a matter of time until this situation would've happened. It's pretty common to see two wrongs making one thing right (but in 100% of the cases it does eventually break).quoted
Just a remind it is hard for MediaTek to update scp firmware for a mass production chip. Each scp firmware seems specifically designed for each chip separately which leads the API might be changed between each chip.Adding Louis-Alexis to the loop; Louis, can you please try to reproduce this one on any of our boards? I can't seem to be able to reproduce here. Cheers, Angelo
Angelo and Louis, Please put this issue to low priority. I did reported this issue but it should be quite a while from now. I'm not sure why and how the mail client or mail server send out this mail so late, and it has been sent twice until I've discovered right now. I guess this issue has been gone during 6.18-rcX period. However, double check the latest status with latest kernel version is good. I think it should be fixed already with AFBC patch or something around that time.
