This allows to switch the card signal voltage level to 1.8V,
which is needed for any ultra high speed modes to work.

Signed-off-by: Lucas Stach <dev@lynxeye.de>

This needs the SDMMC memcomp pad calibration patches I just
sent out to be applied, otherwise the card voltage change will
fail with a message in the kernel log and a fall back to
high speed operation.

The patches this one depends on have been applied for some time now.
Please pick up this patch.

Thanks,

My understanding is that UHS modes currently cause problems on Beaver.
What I don't understand about that is how it will even try those modes
if the voltage regulator can't be set to 1.8 V? Shouldn't that actively
prevent those modes from even being attempted?

AFAIK this is right. I haven't re-tested with v4.6 yet, but on v4.5
without this change the high-speed modes using 1.8V signaling would not
be used on the SD card. As eMMC doesn't need the voltage switch, this
one will work in high-speed mode on Beaver.

Looking at the sdhci code, if the regulator is missing then we still
attempt to place the controller is 1.8V mode ...

 static int sdhci_start_signal_voltage_switch(struct mmc_host *mmc,
                                              struct mmc_ios *ios)
 {

 ...

         case MMC_SIGNAL_VOLTAGE_180:
                 if (!IS_ERR(mmc->supply.vqmmc)) {
                         ret = regulator_set_voltage(mmc->supply.vqmmc,
                                         1700000, 1950000);
                         if (ret) {
                                 pr_warn("%s: Switching to 1.8V signalling voltage failed\n",
                                         mmc_hostname(mmc));
                                 return -EIO;
                         }
                 }

                 /*
                  * Enable 1.8V Signal Enable in the Host Control2
                  * register
                  */
                 ctrl |= SDHCI_CTRL_VDD_180;
                 sdhci_writew(host, ctrl, SDHCI_HOST_CONTROL2);
 
                 /* Some controller need to do more when switching */
                 if (host->ops->voltage_switch)
                         host->ops->voltage_switch(host);
 
                 /* 1.8V regulator output should be stable within 5 ms */
                 ctrl = sdhci_readw(host, SDHCI_HOST_CONTROL2);
                 if (ctrl & SDHCI_CTRL_VDD_180)
                         return 0;
 
                 pr_warn("%s: 1.8V regulator output did not became stable\n",
                         mmc_hostname(mmc));
 
                 return -EAGAIN;

Ideally, the above *should* fail if the regulator is missing. However, what
I have found, is that in my case, even though the regulator is missing, the
above succeeds and the host thinks we are operating at 1.8V even though we
are still at 3.3V! It seems that this does not happen with all SD cards that
support UHS. 

This patch resolves the problems I am seeing on beaver with SD card
initialisation failing. I am surprised this is not causing problems for
others?

That said, looking at the schematics for the board, this patch looks
correct to me and we should apply this and mark for stable as this
appears to be broken for sometime. Note that even before Lucas' changes
in the SD card init we will try to switch to 1.8V if the cards supports
it and the controller is greater or equal to sdhci v3.

Cheers

Stephen, looking at the schematics, I don't see that this is connected
to the avdd_vdac (which appears to be unconnected) and so I am wondering
if this name should be just "vddio_sdmmc"?

Yes, I don't know where avdd_vdac came from; it doesn't appear connected 
on any Beaver (or even Cardhu, from which it was probably derived) 
schematic that I have.

CC += Bryan in case he has any recollection since he wrote this DT.

Adrian, Ulf, per the above, I have found that on a Tegra30 beaver board,
if we enable UHS-I modes for Tegra30 but the device-tree for the board
is missing the regulator to select 1.8V mode operation, then the above
code sequence may still return success (ie. SDHCI_CTRL_VDD_180 bit is
set in SDHCI_HOST_CONTROL2) even though we have not changed the voltage.
This leads to other problems later on during SD initialisation.

Would you expect that an SDHCI controller should fail to set the
SDHCI_CTRL_VDD_180 bit in the SDHCI_HOST_CONTROL2 register if we did not
change the voltage?

We want to ensure that Tegra devices do not attempt to switch the UHS-I
modes if the regulator is not present and it is not clear to me if there
is a problem with the Tegra SDHCI controller or how this should be handled.

Let me know if this makes sense.

What is meant to happen is that sdhci should wait 5ms and then check
SDHCI_CTRL_VDD_180 - which it used to do but then someone took the 5ms wait
away.

In any case, if you are using a regulator there is no knowing what sdhci is
meant to do.

If the driver doesn't support UHS-I modes then it must remove the cap flags.

Do you plan to add the 5ms delay again?

Ok, seems fragile.

So the controller itself supports UHS-I modes, but a given board may not
have the regulator to support them. We need a way to determine if the
board can support the UHS-I modes. Now we could check to see if the
regulator is present in the Tegra SDHCI driver and if not remove the cap
flags. However, I was not sure if this is applicable to other sdhci
controllers and so there should be a generic solution for this?

I guess the assumption is the card will fail to switch voltage, so the check
is unnecessary.

There is SDHCI_QUIRK2_NO_1_8_V but it doesn't cover the eMMC 1.8V DDR52 case
at present.  Dong Aisheng wanted to plug that gap but I wanted to get rid of
SDHCI_QUIRK2_NO_1_8_V:

In the way, that the sdhci core is unable to determine if the regulator
for 1.8V is mandatory or not for a given device and if the board has the
required regulator. For Tegra we really want ...

	case MMC_SIGNAL_VOLTAGE_180:
		if (IS_ERR(mmc->supply.vqmmc))
			return -EINVAL;
		...

But this probably would not work for all I am guessing?

Ok, that would require the tegra sdhci driver to set this quirk for a
board, which is do-able, I guess. However, given the above I am not sure
what path you are suggesting we take to resolve this? Does not sound
like we should be looking at using SDHCI_QUIRK2_NO_1_8_V anyway.

Any feedback here? Are you still planning to get rid of
SDHCI_QUIRK2_NO_1_8_V or should we use this?
