[PATCH 0/3] phy: rockchip: emmc: Enable internal strobe pull-down by default

[PATCH 0/3] phy: rockchip: emmc: Enable internal strobe pull-down by default

[Folker Schwesinger]

Various RK3399 boards, including the Rock Pi 4 series, the NanoPi 4
series and possibly others showed instabilities with some eMMC modules
when operating in HS400 mode [1]. Later, a missing pull-down resistor on
the eMMC strobe line was identified as the root cause of these
instabilities [2].

This series changes the Rockchip eMMC PHY driver to enable the
internal pull-down for the strobe line by default, effectively
restoring the behavior of the vendor kernel [3].
Addressing the problem in the driver avoids fix-ups in individual
board DTs.

As this change makes the optional DT property enable-strobe-pulldown
obsolete, it is replaced by a new property disable-strobe-pulldown,
that, when used, allows to disable the internal pull-down.

While at it, the enable-strobe-pulldown property was removed from the
NanoPi4 series DTS (which was the only user of the property in the kernel).

This fixes I/O errors observed on various Rock Pi 4 and NanoPi4 series
boards with some eMMC modules. Other boards may also be affected.

An example of these errors is as follows:

[  290.060817] mmc1: running CQE recovery
[  290.061337] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 1411072 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 36 prio class 0
[  290.061370] EXT4-fs warning (device mmcblk1p1): ext4_end_bio:348: I/O error 10 writing to inode 29547 starting block 176466)
[  290.061484] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk1p1, logical block 172288

What do you mean "restore the behaviour of the rockchip kernel"? Did
mainline behave the same as the rockchip kernel previously? If not,
using "restore" here is misleading. "Unconditionally" is also incorrect,
because you have a property that disables it.

Unfortunately you cannot do this.
Previously no property at all meant disabled and a property was required
to enable it. With this change the absence of a property means that it
will be enabled.
An old devicetree is that wanted this to be disabled would have no
property and will now end up with it enabled. This is an ABI break and is
clearly not backwards compatible, that's a NAK unless it is demonstrable
that noone actually wants to disable it at all.

If this patch fixes a problem on a board that you have, I would suggest
that you add the property to enable it, as the binding tells you to.

Thanks,
Conor.

Moreover, as I already explained some time ago, [1] some boards and
devices are unfortunately miswired, and we don't want to enable the

Moreover, as I already explained some time ago, [1] some boards and
devices are unfortunately miswired, and we don't want to enable the
DATA STROBE pull-down on such boards.

Apologizes for the misleading commit message. Prior to 5.11 the Linux
kernel did not touch the pull-down registers. However, it seems the
register's (factory?) default was set to enable the pull-down. As it
was mentioned elsewhere that was the configuration recommended by
Rockchip. The 4.4 vendor (Rockchip) kernel reflects that by enabling the
pull-down in its kernel.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the Linux kernel, so "restore"
was a bad choice here.

I previously had split the driver patch into two separate patches, one
for changing the default (unconditionally at that point), the other for
adding the disable property. As both changes were minimal I decided to
squash the commits. I updated the cover letter, but forgot to update the
commit message. Sorry.

I agree, I'll post the patches later.

Apologizes for the misleading commit message. Prior to 5.11 the Linux
kernel did not touch the pull-down registers. However, it seems the
register's (factory?) default was set to enable the pull-down. As it
was mentioned elsewhere that was the configuration recommended by
Rockchip. The 4.4 vendor (Rockchip) kernel reflects that by enabling the
pull-down in its kernel.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the Linux kernel, so "restore"
was a bad choice here.

I previously had split the driver patch into two separate patches, one
for changing the default (unconditionally at that point), the other for
adding the disable property. As both changes were minimal I decided to
squash the commits. I updated the cover letter, but forgot to update the
commit message. Sorry.

Yeah, seems like a bit of a sticky situation. Probably the wrong
polarity was chosen when the property was implemented and the property
should have been the one you wanted to switch to given the default
before it existed was the factory defaults.

No worries. Squashing them was probably the right thing to do anyway.

But the patch that introduced the new default to disable the pulldown
explicitely introduced a regression for at least 4 boards.
It took time to sort out that the default to disable pulldown was the
culprit but still.
Will we carry this new behavor that breaks the default design for
rk3399 because since the regression was introduced new board definition
might have expceted this new behavior.

Could the best option be to revert to énot set a default enable/disable
pulldown" (as before the commit that introduced the regression) and
allow one to force the pulldown via the enable/disable pulldown
property?
I mean the commit that introduced a default value for the pulldown did
not seem to be about fixing anything. But it broke a lot. ANd it was
really really hard to find the description of this commit to understand
that one had to enable pulldown to restore hs400.

In more than 3 years, only one board maintainer noticed that this
property was required to get back HS400  and thanks to a user telling
me that this board was working I found from this board that this
property was "missing" from most board definitions (while it was not
required before).


I am all for not breaking ABI. But what about not reverting a patch
that already broke ABI because this patch introduced a new ABI that we
don't want to break?
I mean shouldn't a new commit with a new ABI that regressed the kernel
be reverted?

Mind fixing the initial regression 8b5c2b45b8f0 "phy: rockchip: set
pulldown for strobe line in dts" does not necessarily mean changing the
default to the opposite value but could also be reverting to not
setting a default.
Though I don't know if there are pros to setting a default.

But the patch that introduced the new default to disable the pulldown
explicitely introduced a regression for at least 4 boards.
It took time to sort out that the default to disable pulldown was the
culprit but still.
Will we carry this new behavor that breaks the default design for
rk3399 because since the regression was introduced new board definition
might have expceted this new behavior.

Could the best option be to revert to énot set a default enable/disable
pulldown" (as before the commit that introduced the regression) and
allow one to force the pulldown via the enable/disable pulldown
property?
I mean the commit that introduced a default value for the pulldown did
not seem to be about fixing anything. But it broke a lot. ANd it was
really really hard to find the description of this commit to understand
that one had to enable pulldown to restore hs400.

In more than 3 years, only one board maintainer noticed that this
property was required to get back HS400  and thanks to a user telling
me that this board was working I found from this board that this
property was "missing" from most board definitions (while it was not
required before).


I am all for not breaking ABI. But what about not reverting a patch
that already broke ABI because this patch introduced a new ABI that we
don't want to break?
I mean shouldn't a new commit with a new ABI that regressed the kernel
be reverted?

Mind fixing the initial regression 8b5c2b45b8f0 "phy: rockchip: set
pulldown for strobe line in dts" does not necessarily mean changing the
default to the opposite value but could also be reverting to not
setting a default.
Though I don't know if there are pros to setting a default.

I think I said it after OP replied to me yesterday, but this is a pretty
shitty situation in that the original default picked for the property
was actually incorrect. Given it's been like this for four years before
anyone noticed, and others probably depend on the current behaviour,
that's hard to justify.

That's also problematic, as the only way to do this is make setting
one of the enabled or disabled properties required, which is also an ABI
break, since you'd then be rejecting probe if one is not present.

> Though I don't know if there are pros to setting a default.

What you probably have to weigh up is the cons of each side. If what you
lose is HS400 mode with what's in the kernel right now but switching to
what's been proposed would entirely break some boards, I know which
I think the lesser of two evils is.

It's probably up to the platform maintainer to weigh in at this point.

Hope that helps?

A lot of people noticed fast that HS400 was broken in the 5.10 branch
but due to another commit (more later, ie double regulator init that
messed up emmc) this second breakage was not detected. But mostly
downstream. And most if not all rk3399 boards in Armbian had HS400

It took 3 years to detect that HS400 was broken on a few boards like

I would not count on the fact that keeping the current behavior equals
no more broken boards.

From the previous exchanges the boards that requires the pulldown to be

Though I am fine with adding a property to set enable pulldown to any

Only I do not believe keeping the statu quo equal everything works

In fact this commit reached the downstream kernels way later. Any
stayed with the 5.10 branch for years.

But on the other side the disable pulldown by default is alraedy in
stable/linux-rolling-lts .

I don't understand.
How reverting to not set either pulldown enabled or disabled by default
force all board to set either enabled or disabled.
I was telling about making the pulldown set by kernel optional be it
enabled or disabled to revert to the previous behavior. 

I mean before the patch to set a default pulldown value (to disabled)
there were no forced value.

More boards (even if not the most wide spread it seems) are broken by
the current behavior.

I agree that only HS400 is broken by keeping the status quo. But as far
as I understand only HS400 will be broken either way.
Be that by keeping the current disable pulldown which break the boards
based on the rockchip default design or the boards that are non-
standard or have a broken design.
Both case this lead to data corruption on boot to eMMC.

The only pro of keeping the current value the default is that most
board broken by the new default introduced in 2020 "might" already be
fixed (but that is just a guess).

I am not knowledged into the delegation scope. You mean that from now

I am fine with it either way.

I just wanted to point out that maybe we don't have to set a pulldown
value after all. And that then all boards will be fine as before
setting the pulldown explicitly was introduced.


In fact I am more eager to get this fixed be it by adding a enable-
pulldown property to the board definitions, than to change the current
behavior.
Just wanted to sort out if that was not the wrong way to fix this
issue. (ie if adding a setting on most boards was wrong).

During more than 2 years, I tried various patches and discussed on
forums about the HS400 breakage. I had bisected the regulator init
issue in the 5.10 branch. Sadly it took so much time for this issue to
be understood that when the force pulldown to disable commit was
introduced downstream before the first issue go fixed.
This only made the matter worse because when one fixed the double
regulator init issue HS400 was still broken, this time because the
pulldown was forced to disable. But nobody noticed this commit that
forced a default pulldown state (that was older than the regulator
commit from 5.13 backported to the 5.10 stable branch commit, but that
reached downstream later due to not having been backported to 5.10 from
5.11).
Otherwise we would have emailed immeditaly.
Bisecting was only able to catch the first breakage (as it was only
fixed after the second breakage was introduced).

Maybe the problem is that me and others did not complained to the
kernel upstream ML because we were using heavily patched downstream
kernels (like most if not all downstream ARM kernels). So sadly, the
forums from back then are filled with complaints but nothing seemed to
have reached the Linux ML.



About the regulator double init, stable downstream branches were hit by
a bug in the 5.10 stable branch in May 2021 before they switched to
5.11 were this default pulldown was introduced. Thus they could not
detect that this pulldown broke HS400 because HS400 was already broken
by a double regulator init, backported in 5.10 from 5.13:

Author: Christian Kohlschütter <christian@kohlschutter.com>
Date:   Thu Aug 18 12:46:47 2022 +0000

    regulator: core: Resolve supply name earlier to prevent double-init
    
    Previously, an unresolved regulator supply reference upon calling
    regulator_register on an always-on or boot-on regulator caused
    set_machine_constraints to be called twice.
    
    This in turn may initialize the regulator twice, leading to voltage
    glitches that are timing-dependent. A simple, unrelated
configuration
    change may be enough to hide this problem, only to be surfaced by
    chance.
    
    One such example is the SD-Card voltage regulator in a NanoPI R4S
that
    would not initialize reliably unless the registration flow was just
    complex enough to allow the regulator to properly reset between
calls.
    
    Fix this by re-arranging regulator_register, trying resolve the
    regulator's supply early enough that set_machine_constraints does
not
    need to be called twice.

So most boards were already broken when the commit to force a pulldown

by a double regulator init, backported in 5.10 from 5.13:

Date:   Thu Aug 18 12:46:47 2022 +0000

    regulator: core: Resolve supply name earlier to prevent double-init
    
    Previously, an unresolved regulator supply reference upon calling
    regulator_register on an always-on or boot-on regulator caused
    set_machine_constraints to be called twice.
    
    This in turn may initialize the regulator twice, leading to voltage
    glitches that are timing-dependent. A simple, unrelated
configuration
    change may be enough to hide this problem, only to be surfaced by
    chance.
    
    One such example is the SD-Card voltage regulator in a NanoPI R4S
that
    would not initialize reliably unless the registration flow was just
    complex enough to allow the regulator to properly reset between
calls.
    
    Fix this by re-arranging regulator_register, trying resolve the
    regulator's supply early enough that set_machine_constraints does
not
    need to be called twice.

So most boards were already broken when the commit to force a pulldown

A lot of people noticed fast that HS400 was broken in the 5.10 branch
but due to another commit (more later, ie double regulator init that
messed up emmc) this second breakage was not detected. But mostly
downstream. And most if not all rk3399 boards in Armbian had HS400
disabled.


It took 3 years to detect that HS400 was broken on a few boards like
Rock Pi4 in the upstream kernel. Any might still be broken.
I would not count on the fact that keeping the current behavior equals
no more broken boards.

From the previous exchanges the boards that requires the pulldown to be
disabled seems well known.

Though I am fine with adding a property to set enable pulldown to any
board definition file where that is required.

Only I do not believe keeping the statu quo equal everything works
because it has been 3 years.
In fact this commit reached the downstream kernels way later. Any
stayed with the 5.10 branch for years.

But on the other side the disable pulldown by default is alraedy in
stable/linux-rolling-lts .

I don't understand.
How reverting to not set either pulldown enabled or disabled by default
force all board to set either enabled or disabled.
I was telling about making the pulldown set by kernel optional be it
enabled or disabled to revert to the previous behavior. 

I mean before the patch to set a default pulldown value (to disabled)
there were no forced value.

More boards (even if not the most wide spread it seems) are broken by
the current behavior.

I agree that only HS400 is broken by keeping the status quo. But as far
as I understand only HS400 will be broken either way.
Be that by keeping the current disable pulldown which break the boards
based on the rockchip default design or the boards that are non-
standard or have a broken design.
Both case this lead to data corruption on boot to eMMC.

The only pro of keeping the current value the default is that most
board broken by the new default introduced in 2020 "might" already be
fixed (but that is just a guess).



> It's probably up to the platform maintainer to weigh in at this

I am not knowledged into the delegation scope. You mean that from now
on it is up to the rockchip maintainer?
I am fine with it either way.

I just wanted to point out that maybe we don't have to set a pulldown
value after all. And that then all boards will be fine as before
setting the pulldown explicitly was introduced.


In fact I am more eager to get this fixed be it by adding a enable-
pulldown property to the board definitions, than to change the current
behavior.
Just wanted to sort out if that was not the wrong way to fix this
issue. (ie if adding a setting on most boards was wrong).


> Hope that helps?
> Conor.


During more than 2 years, I tried various patches and discussed on
forums about the HS400 breakage. I had bisected the regulator init
issue in the 5.10 branch. Sadly it took so much time for this issue to
be understood that when the force pulldown to disable commit was
introduced downstream before the first issue go fixed.
This only made the matter worse because when one fixed the double
regulator init issue HS400 was still broken, this time because the
pulldown was forced to disable. But nobody noticed this commit that
forced a default pulldown state (that was older than the regulator
commit from 5.13 backported to the 5.10 stable branch commit, but that
reached downstream later due to not having been backported to 5.10 from
5.11).
Otherwise we would have emailed immeditaly.
Bisecting was only able to catch the first breakage (as it was only
fixed after the second breakage was introduced).

Maybe the problem is that me and others did not complained to the
kernel upstream ML because we were using heavily patched downstream
kernels (like most if not all downstream ARM kernels). So sadly, the
forums from back then are filled with complaints but nothing seemed to
have reached the Linux ML.



About the regulator double init, stable downstream branches were hit by
a bug in the 5.10 stable branch in May 2021 before they switched to
5.11 were this default pulldown was introduced. Thus they could not
detect that this pulldown broke HS400 because HS400 was already broken
by a double regulator init, backported in 5.10 from 5.13:

Ah, maybe I misunderstood what the code originally did. Did the original
code leave the bit however the bootloader or reset value had left it?
In that case, probe wouldn't be rejected and you'd not have the sort of
issue that I mentioned above.

Yes, I meant the rockchip maintainer. I'm only a lowly bindings
maintainer, without any knowledge of rockchip specfics or the type of
boards we're talking about being broken here. Someone has to make a
judgement call about which "no property" behaviour is used going forward
and I don't want that to be me!

By "all boards will be fine" you mean "all boards that expected the
kernel didn't touch this bit will be fine". The boards that need the
kernel to set this bit because it {comes out of reset,is set by firmware}
incorrectly are going to need a property added if we revert the default
behaviour to not touching the bit.

Aye, and all I can really say there is to buy boards from a vendor that
doesn't use some horribly hacked downstream kernel, which I know is
clearly an unsatisfactory suggestion. That said, we probably should have
caught that the new default behaviour when the changes were made was not
the default before. There was only one DT maintainer then though, and
things just slip by :/

Yes, I meant the rockchip maintainer. I'm only a lowly bindings
maintainer, without any knowledge of rockchip specfics or the type of
boards we're talking about being broken here. Someone has to make a
judgement call about which "no property" behaviour is used going forward
and I don't want that to be me!

By "all boards will be fine" you mean "all boards that expected the

Aye, and all I can really say there is to buy boards from a vendor that
doesn't use some horribly hacked downstream kernel, which I know is
clearly an unsatisfactory suggestion. That said, we probably should have
caught that the new default behaviour when the changes were made was not
the default before. There was only one DT maintainer then though, and
things just slip by :/

Aye, and all I can really say there is to buy boards from a vendor that
doesn't use some horribly hacked downstream kernel, which I know is
clearly an unsatisfactory suggestion. That said, we probably should have
caught that the new default behaviour when the changes were made was not
the default before. There was only one DT maintainer then though, and
things just slip by :/

I'm somehow all for not changing defaults again.

I think in the past there was a similar example in some other kernel part,
where some change broke the ABI, but meanwhile another ABI depended
on the changed behaviour, so a revert was not possible.

I think it's somewhat similar here. If the change has been in the kernel
for 3-4 years now, I do think that ship has sailed somehow.

As was said above, board introduced since 2020 might already be fixed
and essentially for boards that weren't, it does look like these didn't run
a mainline kernel for like 4 years now.

So if it comes down to deciding who to keep working, I'm more in favor of
those that did run on mainline in the years since.


Though not sure if I understood all the details here yet.

I'm somehow all for not changing defaults again.

I think in the past there was a similar example in some other kernel part,
where some change broke the ABI, but meanwhile another ABI depended
on the changed behaviour, so a revert was not possible.

I think it's somewhat similar here. If the change has been in the kernel
for 3-4 years now, I do think that ship has sailed somehow.

As was said above, board introduced since 2020 might already be fixed
and essentially for boards that weren't, it does look like these didn't run
a mainline kernel for like 4 years now.

So if it comes down to deciding who to keep working, I'm more in favor of
those that did run on mainline in the years since.


Though not sure if I understood all the details here yet.

Re: [PATCH 1/3] phy: rockchip: emmc: Enable pulldown for strobe line

[Alban Browaeys]

This is quite a detailed replied. in summary I believe the enable-
strobe property should be added as soon as possible to restore hs400
support.

In the process it will be easier to see if any upstream dts has hs400
enabled and does not require to force this enable-strobe property. 

As far as I understood the only boards that do not support enable-
strobe pulldown by default do not support hs400 either (because they do
not support strobe pulldown enabled due to wiring issue, but that also
prevetn them from enabling hs400).

And then if I managed to convince you that the best policy is to
restore previous behaviour of not setting a default in the kernel (and
provides enable and disable properties for those that want to force
ether way be it due to wiring issues), remove these properties once the
default is removed.

I agree that all board have been fixed. But not by adpating to the new
default since 2020 and relying on it nowadays.
Most if not all have disabled hs400es support (and the patch to disable
hs400 are only reaching upstream recently, ie only a year ago for the
latest ones).

The hs400es support was disabled as soon as the new default was
introduced. And in fact earlier due to a double init in regulator core,
when probe deferred was introduced, that also broke emmc on rk3399 a
few month before this new default was pushed to stable branch in 2020.
Ie it could be that until when this double init was fixed in august
2022 by 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/8a866d527ac0441c0eb14a991fa11358b476b11d,
no rk3399 board was able to test hs400es support with the new 2020
default.

The main thing that made it impossible to find this new default was bad
is that emmc hs400 support was already broken when the commit reached
the stable kernel.

Also a lot of users and devs use SD instead of EMMC.

Maybe before discussing if the new default should be kept for
stability, we should check if any upstream rk3399 board that still has
hs400es support without the "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" (ie out
of:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopc-t4.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi-m4.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi-neo4.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi-r4s.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
) has working emmc hs400.
Could be there are none that have a working hs400 emmc.

Could we ask for these boards to be checked for working emmc with the
new 2020 default? (as we cannot assume that as even well maintained
board only found upstream they were broken in mid 2023, ie commit
2bd1d2dd808c60532283e9cf05110bf1bf2f9079 and
cee572756aa2cb46e959e9797ad4b730b78a050b for ROCK 4C+ and ROCK Pi 4)? 
Then we will be confident the new 2020 default regression is required
by anything.

Ie, we assume they were working as nobody complains as most complains
never reach upstream ML... but the armbian forum were flooed with
complaints in these days. I was one of the complainer until I decided
to abandon other projects because this issue was too big to me (wel I
ended up and am still on SD since it took too long and I needed the
board, as did all other users. But I want this to change).
Only downstream disabled hs400es to get the board working. All rk3399
boards in Armbian are patched to remove hs400 support since at least
two years as far as I know.

These current boards with hs400es enabled upstream are:

These board were broken by the new default though they only disabled hs enhanced strobe but left basic hs400 support:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-khadas-edge.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-khadas-edge.dtsi
ie commit 6dd0053683804427529ef3523f7872f473440a19 in november of 2021.


Note: I have not checked that my board is working with mmc-hs400-1_8v
enabled and mmc-hs400-enhanced-strobe disabled. Could be that the new
default only break the enhanced strobe support, not hs400 per se. Back
then Armbian contributors disabled hs400 support.


Finally, it could be that one RK3399 board currently upstream depends
on this new default but I guess none.


!!!!!
The main issue and what bother me is whether any boards depend on the
previous default. This is the real issue.
That is previously the kernel value was left to the one set by the
bootloader or the hardware reset.
The Rockchip kernel default to enable strobe was told by Dragan Simic 
to break RockPro64 and the Pinebook Pro due to them behing miswired. 
But it was not the upstream behavior before the 2020 new disable by
default behavior was introduced. The previous behavior to leave teh
pulldown as is.
!!!!

The dev for commit 8b5c2b45b8f0a11c9072da0f7baf9ee986d3151e that
introduced the new disable-strobe by default tells he tested on his
"rk3399 customized board".




I wanted to sort out if it made sense to add "rockchip,enable-strobe-
pulldown" to most rk339 boards. But I should have first added this
property then discussed if we should revert the new 2020 default.
We could just remove all the "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" later on
if we revert either to the previous behavior of not setting a default
or even to the Rockchip tree default to set it enable-strobe by
default.
I should not have kept the board broken in the mean time. It is not as
if I was introducing a new API that could be wrong. The API is already
there even if wrong.

I will try to carry forward the discussion. But unbreaking the board is
higher priority.

Could you test the enable-strobe property on all the dts that  disabled
hs400es due to this new default (I lack the hardware to test the
patches).
At least arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-khadas-edge.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-4c-plus.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtsi
and ping the board tester for other boards to test if they require
"rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" for EMMC HS400 write support (read is
fine even with the new default).

Folker, are you confident "Rock 4SE board and Rock Pi 4B+" were fixed
with above patch?
Ie the "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown;" should be under an
"rockchip,rk3399-emmc-phy" compaible node, that is &emmc_phy in
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtsi, not sdhci.




Since the new default bahvior was introduced the only new board dts
with hs400es support introduced were:
- arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-4c-plus.dts in
246450344dad087a121befbed1aba776dba3d377 (but as shown above the
support was disabled in 2023 due to hs400es not working with the new
default. I believe the dts was designed against a kernel before the new
default disable-strobe).
- arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtsi in
b5edb04673700125bfd1d13e6c14747b1ecba522
which these board dts includes:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-4se.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4a-plus.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4a.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4b-plus.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4b.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4c.dts
but the hs400es support was disabled
incee572756aa2cb46e959e9797ad4b730b78a050b due to not working with the
new disable-strobe

As far as I know no board with working hs400 was introduced after the
new behavior. We can assume that not setting a default as before this
new behavior will not break any board any more than it was before this
commit was introduced (and this commit introducing the new behavior
does not acknowledge fixing any boards).


Either way, I believe we should add "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown"
to any board dts with hs400 broken asap.

The sad thing is the vendor indeed worked to upstream the code (though
it has since closed doors).
But as told previously, the emmc hs400 support was already broken by
the time the new default disable-strobe pulldown by default reached
stable. This due to another tricky to debug unrelated double init in
regulator core introduced a few months before the commit to disable-
strobe was introduced. No one could have caught that the new behavior
was broken on most rk3399 board by testing ... because it was not
possible to test hs400 emmc before the double init in regulator core
was fixed in august 2022.
I had bisected the breakage to this regulator core deferred probe
(commit "06653ebc0ad2e0b7d799cd71a5c2933ed2fb7a66"  "regulator: core:
resolve supply for boot-on/always-on regulators") when it broke in
5.10.60. But the new default behavior was no backported to the 5.10
branch so it confused me that the revert that got back hs400es on
helios64 in the 5.10 branch when finally fixed in the 5.16 branch (the
double init fixup) then emmc was still broken.
Only when arguing with an Armbian user that all rk3399 had emmc hs400es
broken did he argue that his board was working. And indeed it was the
only one which add "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" to its dts as they
found about the new default behavior commit, cf
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/eafd8d8c0cbcaca1b190f84ec17a1dcd7aec0306.camel@collabora.com/T/
"arm64: dts: rockchip: add enable-strobe-pulldown to emmc phy on
rk3399"

It turns out because this commit was not backported to stable branches.
And when it did most boards broke (it was panic in the forums with data
loss issues) and ended up with hs400 isabled in downstream kernel
(Armbian for one).
This discussion was in 2022. Only two dts files with hs400 support fo
rk3399 were added since then and had to disable hs400 later one because
of this default enable-strobe policy.

So it could be that disable by default broke most board but enabling by
default would break none, or only very specific board (that from my git
log inspection would have already been broken before the new behavior
was introduced).

It was pointed out that RockPro64 and Pinebook Pro had the strobe pin
miswired.

Maybe reverting to the previous of not setting a default for this
strobe pulldown in the kernel is the best option (the commit
introducing a default does not tell why it makes sense to set a default
in the kernel out of "the Rockchip kernel does it").

This is a sane way policy to me.

Maybe Rockchip had a rationale to enable this strobe pulldown by
default. But I don't think there is any rationale to force this
pulldown to disabled by default.


In a secondary step, with extensive testing, if ever, I believe we
could still change the default to enable but add a disable-strobe for
RockPro64 and Pinebook Pro (broken due to a design mistake that is
specific to these boards as far as I understood).
But this can be worked on after any default is removed and merged only
when supported boards have been tested to be fine with this default.
As far as I understood setting the strobe pulldown to board with an
external pulldown is harmless, so only boards with miswired lines would
be broken and could be handled by adding disable-pulldown (which would
also document them not supporting hs400 in the dts instead of relying
on developers ot carry on this piece of information).

In fact I believe it would be good to add disable-strobe-pulldown
properties to the dts of boards which cannot support internal strobe
pulldown to be enabled, if only to document they cannot support it.


By the way how does the Rockchip kernel handles RockPro64 and Pinebook
Pro?
Are both RockPro64 V2.0 and V2.1 with DATA STROBE lines miswired?

Re: [PATCH 1/3] phy: rockchip: emmc: Enable pulldown for strobe line

[Alban Browaeys]

This is quite a detailed replied. in summary I believe the enable-
strobe property should be added as soon as possible to restore hs400
support.

In the process it will be easier to see if any upstream dts has hs400
enabled and does not require to force this enable-strobe property. 

As far as I understood the only boards that do not support enable-
strobe pulldown by default do not support hs400 either (because they do
not support strobe pulldown enabled due to wiring issue, but that also
prevetn them from enabling hs400).

And then if I managed to convince you that the best policy is to
restore previous behaviour of not setting a default in the kernel (and
provides enable and disable properties for those that want to force
ether way be it due to wiring issues), remove these properties once the
default is removed.

I agree that all board have been fixed. But not by adpating to the new
default since 2020 and relying on it nowadays.
Most if not all have disabled hs400es support (and the patch to disable
hs400 are only reaching upstream recently, ie only a year ago for the
latest ones).

The hs400es support was disabled as soon as the new default was
introduced. And in fact earlier due to a double init in regulator core,
when probe deferred was introduced, that also broke emmc on rk3399 a
few month before this new default was pushed to stable branch in 2020.
Ie it could be that until when this double init was fixed in august
2022 by 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/8a866d527ac0441c0eb14a991fa11358b476b11d,
no rk3399 board was able to test hs400es support with the new 2020
default.

The main thing that made it impossible to find this new default was bad
is that emmc hs400 support was already broken when the commit reached
the stable kernel.

Also a lot of users and devs use SD instead of EMMC.

Maybe before discussing if the new default should be kept for
stability, we should check if any upstream rk3399 board that still has
hs400es support without the "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" (ie out
of:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopc-t4.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi-m4.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi-neo4.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi-r4s.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
) has working emmc hs400.
Could be there are none that have a working hs400 emmc.

Could we ask for these boards to be checked for working emmc with the
new 2020 default? (as we cannot assume that as even well maintained
board only found upstream they were broken in mid 2023, ie commit
2bd1d2dd808c60532283e9cf05110bf1bf2f9079 and
cee572756aa2cb46e959e9797ad4b730b78a050b for ROCK 4C+ and ROCK Pi 4)? 
Then we will be confident the new 2020 default regression is required
by anything.

Ie, we assume they were working as nobody complains as most complains
never reach upstream ML... but the armbian forum were flooed with
complaints in these days. I was one of the complainer until I decided
to abandon other projects because this issue was too big to me (wel I
ended up and am still on SD since it took too long and I needed the
board, as did all other users. But I want this to change).
Only downstream disabled hs400es to get the board working. All rk3399
boards in Armbian are patched to remove hs400 support since at least
two years as far as I know.

These current boards with hs400es enabled upstream are:

These board were broken by the new default though they only disabled hs enhanced strobe but left basic hs400 support:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-khadas-edge.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-khadas-edge.dtsi
ie commit 6dd0053683804427529ef3523f7872f473440a19 in november of 2021.


Note: I have not checked that my board is working with mmc-hs400-1_8v
enabled and mmc-hs400-enhanced-strobe disabled. Could be that the new
default only break the enhanced strobe support, not hs400 per se. Back
then Armbian contributors disabled hs400 support.


Finally, it could be that one RK3399 board currently upstream depends
on this new default but I guess none.


!!!!!
The main issue and what bother me is whether any boards depend on the
previous default. This is the real issue.
That is previously the kernel value was left to the one set by the
bootloader or the hardware reset.
The Rockchip kernel default to enable strobe was told by Dragan Simic 
to break RockPro64 and the Pinebook Pro due to them behing miswired. 
But it was not the upstream behavior before the 2020 new disable by
default behavior was introduced. The previous behavior to leave teh
pulldown as is.
!!!!

The dev for commit 8b5c2b45b8f0a11c9072da0f7baf9ee986d3151e that
introduced the new disable-strobe by default tells he tested on his
"rk3399 customized board".




I wanted to sort out if it made sense to add "rockchip,enable-strobe-
pulldown" to most rk339 boards. But I should have first added this
property then discussed if we should revert the new 2020 default.
We could just remove all the "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" later on
if we revert either to the previous behavior of not setting a default
or even to the Rockchip tree default to set it enable-strobe by
default.
I should not have kept the board broken in the mean time. It is not as
if I was introducing a new API that could be wrong. The API is already
there even if wrong.

I will try to carry forward the discussion. But unbreaking the board is
higher priority.

Could you test the enable-strobe property on all the dts that  disabled
hs400es due to this new default (I lack the hardware to test the
patches).
At least arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-khadas-edge.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-4c-plus.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtsi
and ping the board tester for other boards to test if they require
"rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" for EMMC HS400 write support (read is
fine even with the new default).

Folker, are you confident "Rock 4SE board and Rock Pi 4B+" were fixed
with above patch?
Ie the "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown;" should be under an
"rockchip,rk3399-emmc-phy" compaible node, that is &emmc_phy in
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtsi, not sdhci.




Since the new default bahvior was introduced the only new board dts
with hs400es support introduced were:
- arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-4c-plus.dts in
246450344dad087a121befbed1aba776dba3d377 (but as shown above the
support was disabled in 2023 due to hs400es not working with the new
default. I believe the dts was designed against a kernel before the new
default disable-strobe).
- arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtsi in
b5edb04673700125bfd1d13e6c14747b1ecba522
which these board dts includes:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-4se.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4a-plus.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4a.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4b-plus.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4b.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4c.dts
but the hs400es support was disabled
incee572756aa2cb46e959e9797ad4b730b78a050b due to not working with the
new disable-strobe

As far as I know no board with working hs400 was introduced after the
new behavior. We can assume that not setting a default as before this
new behavior will not break any board any more than it was before this
commit was introduced (and this commit introducing the new behavior
does not acknowledge fixing any boards).


Either way, I believe we should add "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown"
to any board dts with hs400 broken asap.

The sad thing is the vendor indeed worked to upstream the code (though
it has since closed doors).
But as told previously, the emmc hs400 support was already broken by
the time the new default disable-strobe pulldown by default reached
stable. This due to another tricky to debug unrelated double init in
regulator core introduced a few months before the commit to disable-
strobe was introduced. No one could have caught that the new behavior
was broken on most rk3399 board by testing ... because it was not
possible to test hs400 emmc before the double init in regulator core
was fixed in august 2022.
I had bisected the breakage to this regulator core deferred probe
(commit "06653ebc0ad2e0b7d799cd71a5c2933ed2fb7a66"  "regulator: core:
resolve supply for boot-on/always-on regulators") when it broke in
5.10.60. But the new default behavior was no backported to the 5.10
branch so it confused me that the revert that got back hs400es on
helios64 in the 5.10 branch when finally fixed in the 5.16 branch (the
double init fixup) then emmc was still broken.
Only when arguing with an Armbian user that all rk3399 had emmc hs400es
broken did he argue that his board was working. And indeed it was the
only one which add "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" to its dts as they
found about the new default behavior commit, cf
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/eafd8d8c0cbcaca1b190f84ec17a1dcd7aec0306.camel@collabora.com/T/
"arm64: dts: rockchip: add enable-strobe-pulldown to emmc phy on
rk3399"

It turns out because this commit was not backported to stable branches.
And when it did most boards broke (it was panic in the forums with data
loss issues) and ended up with hs400 isabled in downstream kernel
(Armbian for one).
This discussion was in 2022. Only two dts files with hs400 support fo
rk3399 were added since then and had to disable hs400 later one because
of this default enable-strobe policy.

So it could be that disable by default broke most board but enabling by
default would break none, or only very specific board (that from my git
log inspection would have already been broken before the new behavior
was introduced).

It was pointed out that RockPro64 and Pinebook Pro had the strobe pin
miswired.

Maybe reverting to the previous of not setting a default for this
strobe pulldown in the kernel is the best option (the commit
introducing a default does not tell why it makes sense to set a default
in the kernel out of "the Rockchip kernel does it").

This is a sane way policy to me.

Maybe Rockchip had a rationale to enable this strobe pulldown by
default. But I don't think there is any rationale to force this
pulldown to disabled by default.


In a secondary step, with extensive testing, if ever, I believe we
could still change the default to enable but add a disable-strobe for
RockPro64 and Pinebook Pro (broken due to a design mistake that is
specific to these boards as far as I understood).
But this can be worked on after any default is removed and merged only
when supported boards have been tested to be fine with this default.
As far as I understood setting the strobe pulldown to board with an
external pulldown is harmless, so only boards with miswired lines would
be broken and could be handled by adding disable-pulldown (which would
also document them not supporting hs400 in the dts instead of relying
on developers ot carry on this piece of information).

In fact I believe it would be good to add disable-strobe-pulldown
properties to the dts of boards which cannot support internal strobe
pulldown to be enabled, if only to document they cannot support it.


By the way how does the Rockchip kernel handles RockPro64 and Pinebook
Pro?
Are both RockPro64 V2.0 and V2.1 with DATA STROBE lines miswired?

Re: [PATCH 1/3] phy: rockchip: emmc: Enable pulldown for strobe line

[Alban Browaeys]

This is quite a detailed replied. in summary I believe the enable-
strobe property should be added as soon as possible to restore hs400
support.

In the process it will be easier to see if any upstream dts has hs400
enabled and does not require to force this enable-strobe property. 

As far as I understood the only boards that do not support enable-
strobe pulldown by default do not support hs400 either (because they do
not support strobe pulldown enabled due to wiring issue, but that also
prevetn them from enabling hs400).

And then if I managed to convince you that the best policy is to
restore previous behaviour of not setting a default in the kernel (and
provides enable and disable properties for those that want to force
ether way be it due to wiring issues), remove these properties once the
default is removed.

I agree that all board have been fixed. But not by adpating to the new
default since 2020 and relying on it nowadays.
Most if not all have disabled hs400es support (and the patch to disable
hs400 are only reaching upstream recently, ie only a year ago for the
latest ones).

The hs400es support was disabled as soon as the new default was
introduced. And in fact earlier due to a double init in regulator core,
when probe deferred was introduced, that also broke emmc on rk3399 a
few month before this new default was pushed to stable branch in 2020.
Ie it could be that until when this double init was fixed in august
2022 by 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/8a866d527ac0441c0eb14a991fa11358b476b11d,
no rk3399 board was able to test hs400es support with the new 2020
default.

The main thing that made it impossible to find this new default was bad
is that emmc hs400 support was already broken when the commit reached
the stable kernel.

Also a lot of users and devs use SD instead of EMMC.

Maybe before discussing if the new default should be kept for
stability, we should check if any upstream rk3399 board that still has
hs400es support without the "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" (ie out
of:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopc-t4.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi-m4.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi-neo4.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi-r4s.dts via arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4.dtsi
) has working emmc hs400.
Could be there are none that have a working hs400 emmc.

Could we ask for these boards to be checked for working emmc with the
new 2020 default? (as we cannot assume that as even well maintained
board only found upstream they were broken in mid 2023, ie commit
2bd1d2dd808c60532283e9cf05110bf1bf2f9079 and
cee572756aa2cb46e959e9797ad4b730b78a050b for ROCK 4C+ and ROCK Pi 4)? 
Then we will be confident the new 2020 default regression is required
by anything.

Ie, we assume they were working as nobody complains as most complains
never reach upstream ML... but the armbian forum were flooed with
complaints in these days. I was one of the complainer until I decided
to abandon other projects because this issue was too big to me (wel I
ended up and am still on SD since it took too long and I needed the
board, as did all other users. But I want this to change).
Only downstream disabled hs400es to get the board working. All rk3399
boards in Armbian are patched to remove hs400 support since at least
two years as far as I know.

These board were broken by the new default though they only disabled hs enhanced strobe but left basic hs400 support:

ie commit 6dd0053683804427529ef3523f7872f473440a19 in november of 2021.


Note: I have not checked that my board is working with mmc-hs400-1_8v
enabled and mmc-hs400-enhanced-strobe disabled. Could be that the new
default only break the enhanced strobe support, not hs400 per se. Back
then Armbian contributors disabled hs400 support.


Finally, it could be that one RK3399 board currently upstream depends
on this new default but I guess none.


!!!!!
The main issue and what bother me is whether any boards depend on the
previous default. This is the real issue.
That is previously the kernel value was left to the one set by the
bootloader or the hardware reset.
The Rockchip kernel default to enable strobe was told by Dragan Simic 
to break RockPro64 and the Pinebook Pro due to them behing miswired. 
But it was not the upstream behavior before the 2020 new disable by
default behavior was introduced. The previous behavior to leave teh
pulldown as is.
!!!!

The dev for commit 8b5c2b45b8f0a11c9072da0f7baf9ee986d3151e that
introduced the new disable-strobe by default tells he tested on his
"rk3399 customized board".




I wanted to sort out if it made sense to add "rockchip,enable-strobe-
pulldown" to most rk339 boards. But I should have first added this
property then discussed if we should revert the new 2020 default.
We could just remove all the "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" later on
if we revert either to the previous behavior of not setting a default
or even to the Rockchip tree default to set it enable-strobe by
default.
I should not have kept the board broken in the mean time. It is not as
if I was introducing a new API that could be wrong. The API is already
there even if wrong.

I will try to carry forward the discussion. But unbreaking the board is
higher priority.

Could you test the enable-strobe property on all the dts that  disabled
hs400es due to this new default (I lack the hardware to test the
patches).
At least arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-khadas-edge.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-4c-plus.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtsi
and ping the board tester for other boards to test if they require
"rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" for EMMC HS400 write support (read is
fine even with the new default).

Folker, are you confident "Rock 4SE board and Rock Pi 4B+" were fixed
with above patch?
Ie the "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown;" should be under an
"rockchip,rk3399-emmc-phy" compaible node, that is &emmc_phy in
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtsi, not sdhci.




Since the new default bahvior was introduced the only new board dts
with hs400es support introduced were:
- arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-4c-plus.dts in
246450344dad087a121befbed1aba776dba3d377 (but as shown above the
support was disabled in 2023 due to hs400es not working with the new
default. I believe the dts was designed against a kernel before the new
default disable-strobe).
- arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtsi in
b5edb04673700125bfd1d13e6c14747b1ecba522
which these board dts includes:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-4se.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4a-plus.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4a.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4b-plus.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4b.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4c.dts
but the hs400es support was disabled
incee572756aa2cb46e959e9797ad4b730b78a050b due to not working with the
new disable-strobe

As far as I know no board with working hs400 was introduced after the
new behavior. We can assume that not setting a default as before this
new behavior will not break any board any more than it was before this
commit was introduced (and this commit introducing the new behavior
does not acknowledge fixing any boards).


Either way, I believe we should add "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown"
to any board dts with hs400 broken asap.

The sad thing is the vendor indeed worked to upstream the code (though
it has since closed doors).
But as told previously, the emmc hs400 support was already broken by
the time the new default disable-strobe pulldown by default reached
stable. This due to another tricky to debug unrelated double init in
regulator core introduced a few months before the commit to disable-
strobe was introduced. No one could have caught that the new behavior
was broken on most rk3399 board by testing ... because it was not
possible to test hs400 emmc before the double init in regulator core
was fixed in august 2022.
I had bisected the breakage to this regulator core deferred probe
(commit "06653ebc0ad2e0b7d799cd71a5c2933ed2fb7a66"  "regulator: core:
resolve supply for boot-on/always-on regulators") when it broke in
5.10.60. But the new default behavior was no backported to the 5.10
branch so it confused me that the revert that got back hs400es on
helios64 in the 5.10 branch when finally fixed in the 5.16 branch (the
double init fixup) then emmc was still broken.
Only when arguing with an Armbian user that all rk3399 had emmc hs400es
broken did he argue that his board was working. And indeed it was the
only one which add "rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" to its dts as they
found about the new default behavior commit, cf
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/eafd8d8c0cbcaca1b190f84ec17a1dcd7aec0306.camel@collabora.com/T/
"arm64: dts: rockchip: add enable-strobe-pulldown to emmc phy on
rk3399"

It turns out because this commit was not backported to stable branches.
And when it did most boards broke (it was panic in the forums with data
loss issues) and ended up with hs400 isabled in downstream kernel
(Armbian for one).
This discussion was in 2022. Only two dts files with hs400 support fo
rk3399 were added since then and had to disable hs400 later one because
of this default enable-strobe policy.

So it could be that disable by default broke most board but enabling by
default would break none, or only very specific board (that from my git
log inspection would have already been broken before the new behavior
was introduced).

It was pointed out that RockPro64 and Pinebook Pro had the strobe pin
miswired.

Maybe reverting to the previous of not setting a default for this
strobe pulldown in the kernel is the best option (the commit
introducing a default does not tell why it makes sense to set a default
in the kernel out of "the Rockchip kernel does it").

This is a sane way policy to me.

Maybe Rockchip had a rationale to enable this strobe pulldown by
default. But I don't think there is any rationale to force this
pulldown to disabled by default.


In a secondary step, with extensive testing, if ever, I believe we
could still change the default to enable but add a disable-strobe for
RockPro64 and Pinebook Pro (broken due to a design mistake that is
specific to these boards as far as I understood).
But this can be worked on after any default is removed and merged only
when supported boards have been tested to be fine with this default.
As far as I understood setting the strobe pulldown to board with an
external pulldown is harmless, so only boards with miswired lines would
be broken and could be handled by adding disable-pulldown (which would
also document them not supporting hs400 in the dts instead of relying
on developers ot carry on this piece of information).

In fact I believe it would be good to add disable-strobe-pulldown
properties to the dts of boards which cannot support internal strobe
pulldown to be enabled, if only to document they cannot support it.


By the way how does the Rockchip kernel handles RockPro64 and Pinebook
Pro?
Are both RockPro64 V2.0 and V2.1 with DATA STROBE lines miswired?

Alban

The above diff was just a quick shot at testing the
"rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" property when I first learned about
it. I later realized that the property belongs under the &emmc_phy node
as you suggested. That's what I did in the other patchset I sent a bit
later, which was accepted and applied:

https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-rockchip/2024-March/045723.html

So yes, the Rock 4SE, Rock Pi 4B and Rock Pi 4B+ boards all were fixed
with the patch. I regularly have the Rock 4SE and Rock 4B running from
EMMC, always with the patch applied since I sent it.

I tested some of the boards that include rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtsi (see

The above diff was just a quick shot at testing the
"rockchip,enable-strobe-pulldown" property when I first learned about
it. I later realized that the property belongs under the &emmc_phy node
as you suggested. That's what I did in the other patchset I sent a bit
later, which was accepted and applied:

https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-rockchip/2024-March/045723.html
f720dd9b8b6d8b2160beda789429d5489ce8a099
c1b1f340dd7db11f273e426e110697551c9f501f

So yes, the Rock 4SE, Rock Pi 4B and Rock Pi 4B+ boards all were fixed
with the patch. I regularly have the Rock 4SE and Rock 4B running from
EMMC, always with the patch applied since I sent it.

Quite frankly, I think it's better to leave the default as-is, and
to fix the dts files for the boards that have been (or will be) tested
to work as expected and reliably in the HS400 mode.  Perhaps this is
also a good opportunity to revisit the reliability of the HS400 mode
on various boards.

In other words, it could be that some boards now rely on the pull-down
being disabled by default, so enabling it by default might actually
break such boards.  I know, the troublesome commit that disabled the
pull-down caused breakage, but fixing that might actually cause more
breakage at this point.

A couple of years ago I've also spent some time debugging HS400 not
working on a Rock 4, but ended up with limiting the speed to HS200 as
a workaround, so I agree about the whole thing being a mess.

[PATCH 2/3] devicetree: phy: rockchip-emmc: Document changed strobe-pulldown property

[Folker Schwesinger via B4 Relay]

From: Folker Schwesinger <dev@folker-schwesinger.de>

Document the changes regarding the optional strobe-pulldown property.
These changes are necessary as the default behavior of the driver was
restored to the Rockchip kernel behavior of enabling the internal
pulldown by default.

Fixes: f34e43f12382 ("devicetree: phy: rockchip-emmc: pulldown property")

I don't think this is a valid justification, but it'll be easier for me
to explain this on the driver patch.

Thanks,

Please use subject prefixes matching the subsystem. You can get them for
example with `git log --oneline -- DIRECTORY_OR_FILE` on the directory
your patch is touching.

It's: dt-bindings: phy: rockchi.......

[PATCH 3/3] arm64: dts: rockchip: Remove enable-strobe-pulldown for NanoPi4 boards

[Folker Schwesinger via B4 Relay]

From: Folker Schwesinger <dev@folker-schwesinger.de>

The Rockchip eMMC PHY driver enables the internal strobe pulldown by
default. So, remove the enable-strobe-pulldown property from the
NanoPi4 series boards DTS.
