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.

/* 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.) drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci-core.c | 15 +++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci-core.c b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci-core.c index 826958992dfe2..47a0a738862b5 100644 --- a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci-core.c +++ b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci-core.c @@ -679,8 +679,19 @@ static int intel_start_signal_voltage_switch(struct mmc_host *mmc, return 0; } +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); +} + static const struct sdhci_ops sdhci_intel_byt_ops = { - .set_clock = sdhci_set_clock, + .set_clock = sdhci_intel_set_clock, .set_power = sdhci_intel_set_power, .enable_dma = sdhci_pci_enable_dma, .set_bus_width = sdhci_set_bus_width, @@ -690,7 +701,7 @@ static const struct sdhci_ops sdhci_intel_byt_ops = { }; static const struct sdhci_ops sdhci_intel_glk_ops = { - .set_clock = sdhci_set_clock, + .set_clock = sdhci_intel_set_clock, .set_power = sdhci_intel_set_power, .enable_dma = sdhci_pci_enable_dma, .set_bus_width = sdhci_set_bus_width, -- 2.51.0
