[PATCH v7] usb: dwc3: core: Workaround for CSR read timeout

[joswang]

From: Jos Wang <joswang@lenovo.com>

This is a workaround for STAR 4846132, which only affects
DWC_usb31 version2.00a operating in host mode.

There is a problem in DWC_usb31 version 2.00a operating
in host mode that would cause a CSR read timeout When CSR
read coincides with RAM Clock Gating Entry. By disable
Clock Gating, sacrificing power consumption for normal
operation.

 was submitted.

- code refactor

What commit id does this fix?  How far back should it be backported in

Hello Greg Thinh

It seems first begin from the commit 1e43c86d84fb ("usb: dwc3: core:
Add DWC31 version 2.00a controller")
in 6.8.0-rc6 branch ?

Thanks

That commit showed up in 6.9, not 6.8.  And if so, please resend with a
proper "Fixes:" tag.

This patch workarounds the controller's issue. It doesn't resolve any
particular commit that requires a "Fixes" tag. So, this should go on
"next". It can be backported as needed. If it's to be backported, it can
probably go back to as far as v4.3, to commit 690fb3718a70 ("usb: dwc3:
Support Synopsys USB 3.1 IP"). But you'd need to collect all the
dependencies including the commit mention above.

So it fixes a bug?  Or does not fix a bug?  I'm confused.

Who would do the backporting and when?

I don't understand, sorry.  Is this just a normal "evolve the driver to
work better" change, or is it a "fix broken code" change, or is it
something else?

In other words, what do you want to see happen to this?  What tree(s)
would you want it applied to?

The bug is not a driver's bug. The fix applies to a hardware bug and not
any particular commit that can be referenced with a "Fixes" tag.

For anyone who doesn't use mainline kernel that needs this patch
backported to their kernel version.

It's up to you, but it seems to fit "usb-testing" branch more since it
doesn't have a "Fixes" tag. The severity of this fix is debatable since
it doesn't apply to every DWC_usb31 configuration or every scenario.

So it's a bug that the kernel needs to work around, that's fine.  But
that implies it should go to "all" stable kernels that it can, right?

I can not poarse this, sorry.  We can't do anything about people who
don't use our kernel trees, so what does this mean?

As it is "cc: stable" that implies that it should get to Linus for
6.10-final, not wait for 6.11-rc1 as the 6.11 release is months away,
and anyone who has this issue would want it fixed sooner.

Yes. That's right.

Sorry, I wasn't being clear. What I meant is that it needs some work to
backport to stable version prior to v6.9. Anyone who needs to backport
this prior to this will need to resolve these dependencies.

Ok. I may have misunderstood what can go into rc2 and beyond then. If we
don't have to wait for the next rc1 for it to be picked up for stable,
then can we add it to "usb-linus" branch?

There won't be a Fixes tag, but we can backport it up to 5.10.x:

Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 5.10.x: 1e43c86d: usb: dwc3: core: Add DWC31 version 2.00a controller
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 5.10.x

This can go after the versioning scheme in dwc3 in the 5.10.x lts. I did
not check what other dependencies are needed in addition to the change
above.

Thanks,
Thinh

Is there anything else I need to modify for this patch?

Will a simple tag "Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>" sufficient? Or would
you prefer using the tags above?

For either case:

Acked-by: Thinh Nguyen <Thinh.Nguyen@synopsys.com>
