I didn't consider mmc-pwrseq yet. For me it looked straightforward to
I agree with Ulf that using mmc-pwrseq would be a good solution and in
fact I think the pwrseq_simple [0] driver will fit your use case since
it supports a reset GPIO pin which is what many WLAN chips attached to
a SDIO interface use.
implement
it just like card detect or write-protection gpio pins. I already noticed
that
there is code for some mmc host driver, which perform mmc hardware reset. If
you
think that extending pwrseq is the better approach, I will try to update my
patches. This will add reboot handler to mmc-pwrseq then. The only question
is
I don't think that adding a reboot handler to mmc-pwrseq is needed.
AFAICT the call chain is:
sys_reboot() -> kernel_restart() -> device_shutdown() ->
mmc_bus_shutdown() -> _mmc_suspend() -> mmc_power_off() ->
mmc_pwrseq_power_off() -> struct mmc_pwrseq_ops .power_off
So since the pwrseq_simple already asserts the reset GPIO in
.power_off, it should be enough to ensure the eMMC will be reset to
its default configuration for the iROM to work properly.
I think that I had to add reset handler, because device_shutdown() was not
called if reset was triggered from magic sysrq, but I will check it again.
It also asserts the GPIO pin in .pre_power_on and de-asserts in
.post_power_on which should be needed as well for the other case you
mentioned when a broken bootloader left the emmc card in some unknown
state.
weather to use it always when mmc-pwrseq has been enabled or only if some
additional property like 'reset-on-reboot' has been provided.
Having a reset GPIO is optional AFAIK so I don't think there is a need
for an additional "reset-on-reboot" propery.
