According to FE-3124064:
The device supports CPU write and read access to the RTC time register.
However, due to this errata, read from RTC TIME register may fail.

Workaround:
General configuration:
1. Configure the RTC Mbus Bridge Timing Control register (offset 0x184A0)
   to value 0xFD4D4FFF
   Write RTC WRCLK Period to its maximum value (0x3FF)
   Write RTC WRCLK setup to 0x53 (default value )
   Write RTC WRCLK High Time to 0x53 (default value )
   Write RTC Read Output Delay to its maximum value (0x1F)
   Mbus - Read All Byte Enable to 0x1 (default value )
2. Configure the RTC Test Configuration Register (offset 0xA381C) bit3
   to '1' (Reserved, Marvell internal)

For any RTC register read operation:
1. Read the requested register 100 times.
2. Find the result that appears most frequently and use this result
   as the correct value.

For any RTC register write operation:
1. Issue two dummy writes of 0x0 to the RTC Status register (offset
   0xA3800).
2. Write the time to the RTC Time register (offset 0xA380C).

Hi Gregory

This appears to be putting over 900 bytes on the stack. Is there any
danger of overflowing the stack? Would it be safer to make these
arrays part of armada38x_rtc?

A particularly interesting question here is whether the above description
came first or whether the code below came first, and which was derived
from which.

Given that both readl() writel() involves a barrier operation, which is
not mentioned in the above workaround text, is it appropriate to use the
barriered operations?

Why packed?  This makes accesses to this structure very inefficient -
the compiler for some CPUs will load "value" by bytes.

As you're targetting 32-bit and 64-bit, why the use of "unsigned long"
here - readl() returns a u32, guaranteed to be 32-bit.  "unsigned long"
will be 64-bit on ARM64, so wastes 32-bits per sample, completely
negating any advantage of that __packed attribute.

Consider using int or unsigned int for loop variables and indexes, but
something other than unsigned long to store the results from reading
hardware registers (same reason as above.)

Actually the structure being packed it is 500 bytes.

We could do this if you fear a stack overflow.

Did you verify this? I never remember where the __packed needs to go.
You clearly have a packed structure, but is the array of structures
packed?

And the long value_array[SAMPLE_NR] is another 400 bytes, totalling
900. And as Russell pointed out, this is on 32 bit systems. Until your
third patch, 64 bit systems probably have double that. I would also
suggest squashing patch #3 into #1.

It is generally consider not a good idea to put > $BIG structures on
the stack, but the value of $BIG is not clearly defined. Stack
overflow seems to be an issue with lots of layering going on, swap on
NFS etc. But it seems unlikely to me reading the RTC will happen with
an already deep stack. So this is probably O.K.

Well, it is difficult to say. the above description comes from the
errata datasheet (since rev B). But the errata sheet itself mentioned
the software implementation in one of the Marvell release.

Do you suggest to use the the relaxed version of readl() and writel()?

As pointed by Andrew, I think the intent was to reduce the amount of
memory used from the stack.

Thanks,
