Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] PCI: rockchip: 5.0 GT/s speed discouraged by Rockchip
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 02:35:31 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1772169998.git.geraldogabriel@gmail.com> (raw)
Dragan Simic already had warned me of potential issues with 5.0 GT/s
speed operation in Rockchip PCIe. However, in recent interactions
with Shawn Lin from Rockchip it came to my attention there's grave
danger in the unknown errata regarding 5.0 GT/s operational speed
of their PCIe core.
Drop all code related to 5.0 GT/s operational speed from this driver.
Endpoint Mode driver was not tested. There's a bit of redundancy in the
commit messages but it's the best I could do to ensure people will
actually understand why perfectly working code is being dropped.
---
Changes in v4:
- Incorporate suggestion by Bjorn and refined by Dragan to drop the
"catastrophic" code
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rockchip/cover.1772057799.git.geraldogabriel@gmail.com/T/
Changes in v3:
- Clarify warning message even though Rockchip won't disclose details
- Drop DT changes as they were applied as subset by Heiko
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1763415705.git.geraldogabriel@gmail.com/T/
Changes in v2:
- hard limit to 2.5 GT/s, not just warn
- add Reported-by: and Reviewed-by: Dragan Simic
- remove redundant declaration of max-link-speed from helios64 dts
- fix Link: of helios64 patch
- simplify RC mode comment
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aRhR79u5BPtRRFw3@geday/T/
