[PATCH] mmc: rtsx_pci_sdmmc: implement sdmmc_card_busy function

[PATCH] mmc: rtsx_pci_sdmmc: implement sdmmc_card_busy function

[Matthew Schwartz]

rtsx_pci_sdmmc does not have an sdmmc_card_busy function, so any voltage
switches cause a kernel warning, "mmc0: cannot verify signal voltage
switch."

Copy the sdmmc_card_busy function from rtsx_pci_usb to rtsx_pci_sdmmc to
fix this.

RE: [PATCH] mmc: rtsx_pci_sdmmc: implement sdmmc_card_busy function

[Ricky WU]

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for working on this patch.

We’ve tested this change on our platforms and can confirm that adding the
card_busy() callback does resolve the
“cannot verify signal voltage switch” issue for us 👍.

That said, while reviewing the change we noticed a potential redundancy in
the existing driver logic. In sdmmc_switch_voltage() we already perform
explicit DAT line stabilization checks via
sd_wait_voltage_stable_1() and sd_wait_voltage_stable_2().

Once card_busy() is implemented and used by the MMC core during the
voltage-switch verification phase, these two stabilization steps appear to
be partially overlapping with what the core now validates via
card_busy(). In our testing, with card_busy() present, the stable_1 /
stable_2 logic no longer seems strictly necessary and could likely be
simplified or removed with some adjustment.

From a process point of view, we’re not sure which approach you’d prefer:

Land your patch as-is first, and then we can follow up with a separate
cleanup/modification patch to adjust sdmmc_switch_voltage(), or

We can prepare an additional patch that builds on top of yours and share
it with you for review, so the changes can be aligned together.

Please let us know which option you think makes more sense for upstream, or
if you’d prefer a different approach.

Thanks again for the fix and for looking into this driver.

Best regards,
Ricky

Hi Ricky,

Let's go with this method.

I have applied this for fixes and by adding a stable tag. I am also
adding Ricky's reviewed/tested-by tag, according to the above.

Let's deal with the potential improvement on-top, as agreed.

Hi Matthew Ulf,

based on card_busy() patch, we’ve prepared a small follow-up change
that simplifies the voltage-switch handling in
sdmmc_switch_voltage().

sd_wait_voltage_stable_1() and sd_wait_voltage_stable_2() become largely
redundant.

In our testing, removing these two helpers and keeping only the minimal
clock-control handling (forcing the SD clock to stop before switching and
cleaning up on error) works correctly and still conforms to the expected
SD voltage switch behavior. The core-level checks via card_busy() now cover
the DAT line verification that was previously duplicated in the driver.

The attached diff removes sd_wait_voltage_stable_1() and
sd_wait_voltage_stable_2(), and simplifies sdmmc_switch_voltage()
accordingly.

Ricky

Hi All,

Just a gentle ping on the patch below.
This change is intended as a follow-up cleanup on top of Matthew’s
card_busy() patch, which has already been merged. I wanted to check
whether this additional adjustment to the voltage-switch path looks OK,
or if there are any comments or concerns from the maintainers.

We’re happy to rework or rebase the patch as needed.

I suggest that you re-submit the patch (formatted correctly with a
commit message) separately and ask Matthew if he has the time to
review/test it, then will happily apply it.
