Current git head oops'es at boot on Overo

Current git head oops'es at boot on Overo

[Steve Sakoman]

Build is stock 62c36fdd962de2db5d62a326490913f41c442a5c, no additional patches.

Without DEBUG_LL, boot silently fails. With DEBUG_LL, one can see that
the failure is due to a NULL pointer dereference in musb.

I suspect that the root cause is related to:

<3>i2c_omap i2c_omap.1: controller timed out
<4>twl4030_usb: probe of twl4030_usb failed with error -22

Adding David Brownell's i2c-omap timeout workaround patch eliminates
this error and the boot then fails on EHCI.

I disabled EHCI in defconfig and was able to get the boot to complete.
 However unlike others, I find that musb is not functional -- and the
trick of disconnecting the USB cable and then reconnecting it does not
work.

Right.  I'd suggest merging that, except that would provide
zero incentive to actually fix the i2c-omap problem.

And I *have* seen those timeout errors on other requests...

Ditto.  I suspect one of those no-timeout busy-waits is just
neglecting to complete... :(

I observed the same thing.  More specifically, no IRQs arrive at
the twl4030-usb driver.

The *very same kernel* works fine on Beagle... is there something
different about the USB setup that might explain this?

I took a look at the schematics for that section of both boards and as
far as I can tell the two boards are identical in their omap/twl4030
interconnect for the musb section.  The linux board files are
extremely similar too -- nothing significant as far as I can tell.

I tried the same experiment and used my Overo kernel on Beagle.  I got
exactly the same behavior on Beagle as I did on Overo.  So my results
are different than yours.

How does your kernel config set up musb -- host or OTG?  Mine is set up as host.

I'm set up as host, using a BeagleBoard, and with the current
linux-omap git I can get USB working by unplugging and replugging the
A side of the cable (at the mini-AB connector on the BeagleBoard).

Just disconnecting the cable at the B side is not enough.  It must
have something to do with the ID pin.  So, if you have a soldered ID
pin it wouldn't work either.

Also, my cable is going into a powered 4 port high speed hub.  That
might make a difference.

Right.  That's a bug in the transciever support, note ... on
host side there are TWO relevant cable events:  ID pin grounded,
and D+/D- rising.  It only understands the former for now, and
doesn't check for the state very well unless poked by an IRQ.

(All that can be a PITA to get right.  It helps to have a cable
tester that will let you do things like switch the ID ground,
apply a variable VBUS load, apply D+/D- pullups/pulldowns,
and so on.)

That's what I was doing too.  It's a common setup ... just a
bit easier to preconfigure networking that way than through
a bridgede configuration.

Same here -- 4 port high speed hub, disconnect/reconnect cable at the
A (board) side.

No joy on Overo.

For now, host-only.
