Hardware initialize of the timer counter channel does not occur on probe thus leaving the Count in an undefined state until the first function_write() callback is executed. Fix this by performing the proper hardware initialization during probe. Fixes: 106b104137fd ("counter: Add microchip TCB capture counter") Reported-by: Csókás Bence <csokas.bence@xxxxxxxxx> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/bfa70e78-3cc3-4295-820b-3925c26135cb@xxxxxxxxx/ Signed-off-by: William Breathitt Gray <wbg@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This should fix the issue where a user needs to set the count function before they can use the counter. I don't have this hardware in person, so please test this patch and let me know whether it works for you. --- drivers/counter/microchip-tcb-capture.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/counter/microchip-tcb-capture.c b/drivers/counter/microchip-tcb-capture.c index 2f096a5b973d18edf5de5a2b33f2f72571deefb7..c391ac38b990939c6764a9120a4bd03289f68469 100644 --- a/drivers/counter/microchip-tcb-capture.c +++ b/drivers/counter/microchip-tcb-capture.c @@ -368,6 +368,25 @@ static int mchp_tc_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) channel); } + /* Disable Quadrature Decoder and position measure */ + ret = regmap_update_bits(regmap, ATMEL_TC_BMR, ATMEL_TC_QDEN | ATMEL_TC_POSEN, 0); + if (ret) + return ret; + + /* Setup the period capture mode */ + ret = regmap_update_bits(regmap, ATMEL_TC_REG(priv->channel[0], CMR), + ATMEL_TC_WAVE | ATMEL_TC_ABETRG | ATMEL_TC_CMR_MASK | + ATMEL_TC_TCCLKS, + ATMEL_TC_CMR_MASK); + if (ret) + return ret; + + /* Enable clock and trigger counter */ + ret = regmap_write(regmap, ATMEL_TC_REG(priv->channel[0], CCR), + ATMEL_TC_CLKEN | ATMEL_TC_SWTRG); + if (ret) + return ret; + priv->tc_cfg = tcb_config; priv->regmap = regmap; counter->name = dev_name(&pdev->dev); --- base-commit: 8744dcd4fc7800de2eb9369410470bb2930d4c14 change-id: 20250305-preset-capture-mode-microchip-tcb-capture-fa31550ef594 Best regards, -- William Breathitt Gray <wbg@xxxxxxxxxx>
