Hello everyone,
A little background.
I have a BigTreeTech CB1 board based on the Allwinner H616.
I decided to try upstream Linux v7.0 and ran into the following issue:
[ 0.453297] pwrseq_simple wifi-pwrseq: error -ENOENT: reset control not ready
[ 0.460472] pwrseq_simple wifi-pwrseq: probe with driver pwrseq_simple failed with error -2
This error prevents the WiFi chip from coming up.
I started investigating and traced it down to the function
__reset_add_reset_gpio_device() in drivers/reset/core.c:
/*
* @args: phandle to the GPIO provider with all the args like GPIO number
*/
static int __reset_add_reset_gpio_device(const struct of_phandle_args *args)
{
struct property_entry properties[3] = { };
unsigned int offset, of_flags, lflags;
struct reset_gpio_lookup *rgpio_dev;
struct device *parent;
int id, ret, prop = 0;
/*
* Currently only #gpio-cells=2 is supported with the meaning of:
* args[0]: GPIO number
* args[1]: GPIO flags
* TODO: Handle other cases.
*/
if (args->args_count != 2)
return -ENOENT;
As you can see, a GPIO from controller where #gpio-cells != 2 will cause
an error.
Unfortunately, the Allwinner pinctrl is one such GPIO controller.
It uses three arguments to describe a GPIO line: bank, number, and flags.
Here’s the DT fragment that describes wifi_pwrseq in
arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h616-bigtreetech-cb1.dtsi file:
wifi_pwrseq: wifi-pwrseq {
compatible = "mmc-pwrseq-simple";
clocks = <&rtc 1>;
clock-names = "ext_clock";
reset-gpios = <&pio 6 18 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* PG18 */
post-power-on-delay-ms = <200>;
};
Potentially this problem could also be observed on other GPIO controllers:
spacemit,k1-gpio, microchip,sparx5-sgpio, and many allwinner,___-pinctrl
variants.
I attempted to make a patch for reset/core.c (not pretty in my opinion)
that adds support for three-args GPIO phandles.
But it seems I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole, because next I hit the fact
that gpiolib-swnode expects GPIOs to be described with exactly
two arguments (swnode_gpio_get_reference()).
I also did a git bisect to find when wifi_pwrseq broke for
the BigTreeTech CB1. It turned out to be commit
73bf4b7381f7 ("mmc: pwrseq_simple: add support for one reset control")
in v6.13-rc1.
So, in theory, a patch to pwrseq_simple.c could be made to fix my issue,
but that wouldn’t solve the underlying reset-gpio problem.
I don’t know how to proceed from here and I’m asking for advice.
Best regards
Maksim

The __reset_add_reset_gpio_device() function currently expects a GPIO
provider with #gpio-cells=2, which prevents using the GPIO from
controllers with #gpio-cells=3, such as the Allwinner pinctrl and others.
Extend the parsing to support the GPIO phandle with three args,
where:
args[0]: GPIO bank
args[1]: GPIO number
args[2]: GPIO flags
