What I mean is that imx8mm-venice-gw7901.dts uses both I2C4 and UART4
and because I2C4_SCL and UART4_RXD are the only two pads that could be
pinmuxed for CLKREQ# I can't use the workaround of pin muxing it.
Currently your driver only works on my imx8mm-venice-* boards if I add
one of the following on boards that don't connect those pads (or if I
clear IMX8MM_GPR_PCIE_REF_USE_PAD):
MX8MM_IOMUXC_I2C4_SCL_PCIE1_CLKREQ_B
MX8MM_IOMUXC_UART4_RXD_PCIE1_CLKREQ_B
Note your 'PCI: imx: add the imx8mm pcie support' patch [1] does
enable this code already in the imx6_pcie_enable_ref_clk function to
override REF_CLK and drive it low:
offset = imx6_pcie_grp_offset(imx6_pcie);
/*
* Set the over ride low and enabled
* make sure that REF_CLK is turned on.
*/
regmap_update_bits(imx6_pcie->iomuxc_gpr, offset,
IMX8MQ_GPR_PCIE_CLK_REQ_OVERRIDE,
0);
regmap_update_bits(imx6_pcie->iomuxc_gpr, offset,
IMX8MQ_GPR_PCIE_CLK_REQ_OVERRIDE_EN,
IMX8MQ_GPR_PCIE_CLK_REQ_OVERRIDE_EN);
So this is already being run and yet my boards still do not work
unless I clr IMX8MM_GPR_PCIE_REF_USE_PAD like this which is what the
NXP downstream driver does:
regmap_update_bits(imx8_phy->iomuxc_gpr, IOMUXC_GPR14,
IMX8MM_GPR_PCIE_REF_USE_PAD, 0);
This is why I'm not sure that bit does what you think it does... I
feel like that bit enables 'Use CLKREQ# to enable CLK'.
You tell me the descriptions for GPR14 are wrong in the reference
manual. Please provide correct descriptions for us so we can sort this
out.
Best regards,
Tim
