Do note, I am *not* talking about the I/O voltage but the core power to the card. The reason for raising the question is that we have infrastructures in the mmc core which can create the ocr_mask, by parsing a regulator's voltage range. This is the recommended method to use, instead of using hard coded ocr mask values.

On Genmai, 3.3V or 5V is provided through an LTC1471 switch.

The SoC does not *provide* power to the card. It's not that fancy. How the 3.3v is supplied to the card slot is up to the board designer. But, the SoC spec says the I/O should be 3.3v, so we might as well fix the OCR as 3.3v because they don't have a choice. I did see all the DT regulator stuff for the other Renesas SoC, but all that is beyond how this chip is being used. Also note that this SoC (Renesas RZ/A1), unlike the others, is being used with XIP_KERNEL because it's possible to run a full kernel without any external memory (it comes in a 3MB, 5MB, or 10RM internal RAM versions). So, I'm trying to avoid adding extra DT "stuff" that just takes up more RAM resources and has no value for these simple embedded systems. I know in other DDR based system with Megs and Megs of RAM to spare this isn't a problem, but in an XIP_KERNEL environment, it all adds up. One of the reasons why I haven't been trying to push our BSP upstream and move everyone is because I'm afraid of what all the new DT bloat is going to do to the kernel RAM usage. Chris
Here's a question: The DT regulator method is good if you want to be able to control the regulator at run-time by the system. But for MMC and SDHI, why isn't there a way to just set the OCR voltage in the board's DT if it's fixed (other than making a fixed regulator node)? Why isn't there a mmc-ocr-mask property? That's really what I want and it seems like it would make a lot of dts files more simple. Chris

That's really what I want and it seems like it would make a lot of dts files more simple. Because, if you have an external regulator feeding the mmc with power you should set it up and use it. Now, we do have cases where it's actually the MMC controller that manges the power to the card. So no external regulators being used. For these case we have the "voltage-ranges" DT binding, but I don't think you should be using that for these cases. :-) Kind regards Uffe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The reason is that if someone is using eMMC for their file system, they are probably using external RAM (since block data needs to be copied out of eMMC into RAM before they can be executed). So the extra RAM needed for the regular DT is not really an issue. However, the people using SDHI are using it for SDIO for Wifi modules and they are the ones with the slimmed down RAM systems. So for them, removing the regulator DT will help squeeze their system into 3MB or 5MB of in-chip system RAM. Chris

In moving platforms from board files to DT, there still needs to be a way to set the ocr_mask setting for the tmio driver during probe. Without this setting, the probe will fail because the supported voltages are not known. This patch will also traditional platform registration platforms to migrate to DT.
