The moment EP gets perst assert IRQ, refclk will be cut off by the host. So if EP tries to access any hardware registers (edma_core_off) it will result in hard reboot. The second option is not a complete solution, because the EPF drivers still need to release the DMA channels and that can only happen if the EPF drivers know that the host is going into power down state. Even if the DWC core makes an assumption that EPF drivers are releasing the channel, in reality it is not happening. > > A problem with the current code, if you do NOT have this patch, which I assume > is also problem on pcie-qcom-ep, is that since assert_perst() function performs > a core reset, all the eDMA setting written in the dbi by the eDMA driver will be > cleared, so a PERST assert + deassert by the RC will wipe the eDMA settings. > Hopefully, this will no longer be a problem after this patch has been merged. > Yes. Since all the DBI accesses were moved to the dw_pcie_ep_late_init() function that get's called during perst deassert with the help of dw_pcie_ep_init_complete(), all the settings will be reconfigured again. - Mani > > Kind regards, > Niklas -- மணிவண்ணன் சதாசிவம்
