SCPI regressions in v4.15-rc1 on Amlogic SoCs.

SCPI regressions in v4.15-rc1 on Amlogic SoCs.

[Kevin Hilman]

Hi Sudeep,

There's been a pretty major regression in v4.15-rc1 compared to v4.15
in SCPI causing warning splats on amlogic SoCs when cpufreq starts up
and tries to set the OPP for the first time[1].

I ran out of time to narrow it down further since there have been
quite a few changes since v4.14, but simply reverting
drivers/firmware/arm_scpi.c to its v4.14 state gets things working
again.

This has been happening for awhile, and we should've caught it sooner
in kernelCI.org, however this warning splat still allows the kernel to
finish booting, so it still resulted in a PASS for the boot test.
That combined with the fact that we've been tracking some other
regressions, we didn't notice it until now.

Also, is this the expected result for the pre-1.0 firmware:

    scpi_protocol scpi: SCP Protocol 0.0 Firmware 0.0.0 version

Thanks for the report. Strange enough, it works perfectly fine on my
Odroid-C2, see below log part from latest next kernel.

Your log seems to indicate that due to deferred probing something is
not done in the right order.
Can you bisect the issue? I'd assume that it's commit 931cf0c53e69
("firmware: arm_scpi: pre-populate dvfs info in scpi_probe").

There are alot more amlogic SoCs out there that should've been tested
with this change, and you didn't Cc linux-amlogic or ask for more help
testing.  Now we're in a position to have major regressions on most
amlogic boards for v4.15.

I do not currnetly have the time to bisect this, and we're in the
"fixes" phase of the merge window so there is urgency.

I would much rather see these patches reverted, and actually tested on
affected platforms before they make it into mainline.

Sudeep, any chance of reverting these while we're still in the -rc phase?

OK, I would like to understand/get the list of AmLogic SoC using SCPI,
so that I get any changes tested on all of them next time. As Kevin
mentioned, it's always safer to just cc the amlogic mailing list. I have
done that in past and failed to observe that this time.

Yes, even I suspect the same change. But I don't fully understand the issue.

I remember asking you to make some changes in probe path. I think I
wanted you to continue with SCPI probe even if DVFS fails as that causes
issues on platforms that have partial DVFS implemented but other protocols
like clock and sensors working fine.

I guess all platforms with broken SCPI implementation should have it
disabled in the DT instead of taking special care for that in DT.

I assume that's the case even with the platform under regression now.
The correct way to fix it would be to disable DVFS node but it may need
some investigation to narrow down to this comment.

OK, I would like to understand/get the list of AmLogic SoC using SCPI,
so that I get any changes tested on all of them next time. As Kevin
mentioned, it's always safer to just cc the amlogic mailing list. I have
done that in past and failed to observe that this time.

You can start here: https://kernelci.org/soc/amlogic/

The "Available boards" section lists 8 boards we have fully automated
that are representative (enough) to catch problems.  We have a bunch
more that are not (yet) fully automated in kernelCI.

Anything that is meson-gx* will use SCPI, and it's entirely possible
that they've changed SCPI firmware since the GXBB SoCs (which Heiner is
testing) and the GXL SoCs which seem to be the ones failing.  I don't
have much visibiliy into the firmware, but as you mentioned this is
starting to look like it could be related to a firmware change.

The failing logs are showing some new messages on the console that are
not coming from the kernel.  I'm guessing they're from the firmware
(still using the serial console!) but I have not fully verified that.

Same thing for me. One of my early libretech-cc gets completely stuck during
boot with v4.15-rc1

reverting drivers/firmware/arm_scpi.c to v4.14 fixes the problem.

On the u-art, we see traces that appear to be coming from the FW:

My platform gets stuck on one of these traces with v4.15-rc1

Looks like some issue with firmware we are hitting. I assume CPUFreq was
never initialised on this platform before(i.e. v4.14) and these changes
are changing the probe path, so it could be that change causing the
regression.

It's unfortunate that it didn't get tested in linux-next as it was pulled
a while a ago.

I think so, since Amlogic has unreleased/draft version of the specification
implemented, we did discuss to print something similar in the past.
