[U-Boot] [PATCH] nitrogen6x: Fix the PAD settings for the ECSPI chipselect

[Fabio Estevam]

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com>

ECSPI chipselect (MX6_PAD_EIM_D19__GPIO3_IO19) is used with GPIO functionality,
so it does not make sense to set its pad as SPI pin.

Eric,

This is untested.

You're right, although most of the SPI pad settings won't have
any effect as soon as the pad is configured as a GPIO output:

I'll test this out ASAP, but I have to ask: what made you
look at this pin's settings.

It seems that the only bit which could affect things is dropping
the drive strength setting, and 40 ohms is the power-on default.

I was debugging a SPI issue on mx6sl evk, so that's why I looked at it
for comparison.

NAK. Please don't use NO_PAD_CTRL. What is wrong with
SPI_PAD_CTRL. Your commit message doesn't say.
It is an SPI pin (even if used as a GPIO,) so
why doesn't it make sense.

I think your fixing a problem that doesn't exist.

SPI_PAD_CTRL should be used by the pads that have SPI functionality.

This is not the case for the MX6_PAD_EIM_D19__GPIO3_IO19, which is a
GPIO, so why SPI_PAD_CTRL?

If we follow your argument then the enet_pads1 array is incorrect and
we should change all of them to ENET_PAD_CTRL instead.

iomux_v3_cfg_t const enet_pads1[] = {
    MX6_PAD_ENET_MDIO__ENET_MDIO        | MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL),

    MX6_PAD_RGMII_TD2__RGMII_TD2    | MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL),
    MX6_PAD_RGMII_TD3__RGMII_TD3    | MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL),
    MX6_PAD_RGMII_TX_CTL__RGMII_TX_CTL    | MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL),
    MX6_PAD_ENET_REF_CLK__ENET_TX_CLK    | MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL),
    /* pin 35 - 1 (PHY_AD2) on reset */
    MX6_PAD_RGMII_RXC__GPIO6_IO30        | MUX_PAD_CTRL(NO_PAD_CTRL),
    /* pin 32 - 1 - (MODE0) all */
    MX6_PAD_RGMII_RD0__GPIO6_IO25        | MUX_PAD_CTRL(NO_PAD_CTRL),

    MX6_PAD_RGMII_RD1__GPIO6_IO27        | MUX_PAD_CTRL(NO_PAD_CTRL),

I would ack that patch. I do believe that all NO_PAD_CTRL should
be replaced with whatever the register actually contains currently.
A "nop" patch that just makes things explicit.

Would you have a problem with that patch?

For your particular example of enet, I see no reason that the
pad settings should change when switching the mux from ENET to
gpio.


Btw, I do appreciate your looking at this board file.
Sorry, if I sounded rude.

Near Eric's Acked and Tested-by, I see Troy agree on this patch, too.

Applied to u-boot-imx, thanks !
