I have encountered an interrupt storm during the eMMC chip probing (and the chip finally didn't get detected). It turned out that U-Boot left the SDHI DMA interrupts enabled while the Linux driver didn't use those. Masking those interrupts in renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac_request_dma() gets rid of both issues... Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- The patch is against Ulf Hansson's 'mmc.git' repo's 'fixes' branch. Changes in version 2: - fixed #define INFO{1|2}_RESERVED_BITS, rename them to INFO{1|2}_MASK_CLEAR, and moved them higher; - shortened the comment before masking the DMAC interrupts; - fixed up the excess whitespace in the patch dsescription. drivers/mmc/host/renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) Index: renesas/drivers/mmc/host/renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac.c =================================================================== --- renesas.orig/drivers/mmc/host/renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac.c +++ renesas/drivers/mmc/host/renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac.c @@ -49,10 +49,12 @@ /* DM_CM_INFO1 and DM_CM_INFO1_MASK */ #define INFO1_CLEAR 0 +#define INFO1_MASK_CLEAR GENMASK_ULL(31, 0) #define INFO1_DTRANEND1 BIT(17) #define INFO1_DTRANEND0 BIT(16) /* DM_CM_INFO2 and DM_CM_INFO2_MASK */ +#define INFO2_MASK_CLEAR GENMASK_ULL(31, 0) #define INFO2_DTRANERR1 BIT(17) #define INFO2_DTRANERR0 BIT(16) @@ -236,6 +238,12 @@ renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac_request_dma(s { struct renesas_sdhi *priv = host_to_priv(host); + /* Disable DMAC interrupts, we don't use them */ + renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac_dm_write(host, DM_CM_INFO1_MASK, + INFO1_MASK_CLEAR); + renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac_dm_write(host, DM_CM_INFO2_MASK, + INFO2_MASK_CLEAR); + /* Each value is set to non-zero to assume "enabling" each DMA */ host->chan_rx = host->chan_tx = (void *)0xdeadbeaf;
