[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-6.16] mmc: sdhci: Disable SD card clock before changing parameters

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Erick Shepherd <erick.shepherd@ni.com>

[ Upstream commit 5f755ba95ae10fd4fa28d64345056ffc18d12c5a ]

Per the SD Host Controller Simplified Specification v4.20 §3.2.3, change
the SD card clock parameters only after first disabling the external card
clock. Doing this fixes a spurious clock pulse on Baytrail and Apollo Lake
SD controllers which otherwise breaks voltage switching with a specific
Swissbit SD card. This change is limited to Intel host controllers to
avoid an issue reported on ARM64 devices.

## Backport Status: YES

## Comprehensive Analysis

After conducting an exhaustive investigation of this commit, including
its history, related changes, bug reports, and mailing list discussions,
I strongly recommend **YES** for backporting this commit to stable
kernel trees.

### Critical Context: This is Version 2 of a Previously Reverted Fix

**Timeline of Events:**

1. **February 11, 2025 (fb3bbc46c94f2)**: Original fix applied to
   **ALL** sdhci controllers in `drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c`
   - Modified the generic `sdhci_set_clock()` function
   - Affected every platform using SDHCI

2. **June 24, 2025 (dcc3bcfc5b50c)**: **REVERT** of the generic version
   - Caused boot failures on eMMC devices (Debian bug #1108065)
   - Broke Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15ADA7 and other ARM64 devices
   - Error: "mmc1: mmc_select_hs400 failed, error -110"
   - Revert commit message states: "It has turned out the trying to
     strictly conform to the SDHCI specification is causing problems"

3. **July 24, 2025 (5f755ba95ae10)**: **THIS COMMIT** - Intel-only
   revised version
   - Limited scope to Intel Baytrail and Apollo Lake controllers ONLY
   - Does NOT modify generic sdhci code
   - Commit message explicitly states: "This change is limited to Intel
     host controllers to avoid an issue reported on ARM64 devices"

### Code Changes Analysis

The commit creates a new Intel-specific function
`sdhci_intel_set_clock()` in `drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci-core.c`:

```c
static void sdhci_intel_set_clock(struct sdhci_host *host, unsigned int
clock)
{
    u16 clk = sdhci_readw(host, SDHCI_CLOCK_CONTROL);

    /* Stop card clock separately to avoid glitches on clock line */
    if (clk & SDHCI_CLOCK_CARD_EN)
        sdhci_writew(host, clk & ~SDHCI_CLOCK_CARD_EN,
SDHCI_CLOCK_CONTROL);

    sdhci_set_clock(host, clock);
}
```

**Key Implementation Details:**
- Reads current clock control register value (lines 682-684 in sdhci-
  pci-core.c)
- Disables ONLY the card clock enable bit (SDHCI_CLOCK_CARD_EN) if it's
  set
- Then calls the standard `sdhci_set_clock()` function
- Only affects `sdhci_intel_byt_ops` (Baytrail) and
  `sdhci_intel_glk_ops` (Apollo Lake/Gemini Lake)

**Comparison with Generic Version:**
- **Generic version**: Modified `sdhci_set_clock()` in
  `drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c` → Affected ALL platforms → REVERTED
- **Intel-only version**: Creates wrapper in `drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-
  pci-core.c` → Affects ONLY Intel BYT/GLK → STABLE

### Bug Being Fixed

**Problem**: Spurious clock pulse during voltage switching on Intel
Baytrail and Apollo Lake SD controllers breaks compatibility with
specific Swissbit SD cards.

**Root Cause**: Not following SD Host Controller Simplified
Specification v4.20 §3.2.3, which requires disabling the external card
clock before changing clock parameters.

**Impact**: Users with affected Intel platforms cannot use certain SD
cards due to voltage switching failures.

### Evidence of Stability and Safety

1. **No Regression Reports**: Extensive git log searches found NO fixes
   or reverts for commit 5f755ba95ae10
   - `git log --grep="Fixes: 5f755ba95ae10"` → No results
   - `git log --grep="Revert.*5f755ba95ae10"` → No results

2. **Already Backported**: Commit 3d55ad9d6ad57 is the backport of this
   fix to a stable tree, indicating stable maintainers already accepted
   it

3. **Limited Scope**: Changes are confined to:
   - Single file: `drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci-core.c`
   - Two specific controller types: Intel Baytrail and Apollo Lake
   - Does NOT touch generic SDHCI code

4. **Testing Confirmation**: Mailing list discussion (lore.kernel.org)
   shows author tested on Baytrail SD controller with Swissbit SD card
   with no issues

5. **Specification Compliant**: Follows official SD Host Controller
   Specification v4.20 §3.2.3

### Risk Assessment

**Risk Level: VERY LOW**

**Why Low Risk:**
- **Surgical Change**: Only 13 lines added (one small function + two
  pointer updates)
- **Platform-Specific**: Cannot affect any non-Intel platforms
- **Controller-Specific**: Even among Intel platforms, only affects
  Baytrail and Apollo Lake
- **No Side Effects**: Simply wraps existing `sdhci_set_clock()` with
  additional clock disable step
- **Learned from Previous Mistake**: The generic version was reverted;
  this version specifically avoids those issues by limiting scope

**Potential Impact if NOT Backported:**
- Users with Intel Baytrail/Apollo Lake platforms + specific SD cards
  continue experiencing voltage switching failures
- No workaround available without this fix

### Stable Kernel Criteria Compliance

✅ **Fixes important bug**: Yes - voltage switching failures affect real
users
✅ **No new features**: Correct - only fixes existing functionality
✅ **No architectural changes**: Correct - minimal, targeted fix
✅ **Minimal regression risk**: Yes - isolated to specific Intel
controllers
✅ **Confined to subsystem**: Yes - only affects Intel MMC/SD controllers
✅ **Has maintainer approval**: Yes - Acked-by: Adrian Hunter (Intel
maintainer)

### Backporting Recommendation

**STRONG YES** - This commit should be backported to all applicable
stable kernel trees.

**Justification:**
1. Fixes a real user-impacting bug (voltage switching failures)
2. Extremely low regression risk (Intel-specific, already proven stable)
3. Small, well-contained change
4. Learned from and avoids the issues of the previously-reverted generic
   version
5. Already successfully backported to at least one stable tree
6. Follows kernel stable tree rules perfectly
7. No known issues or follow-up fixes needed

**Recommended Stable Trees:** All stable trees that include Intel
Baytrail/Apollo Lake support (likely 6.1+, 6.6+, 6.12+, etc.)
