On the OMAPL138, the SPI reference clock is provided by the Power and Sleep Controller (PSC). The PSC's datasheet says that 'some peripherals have special programming requirements and additional recommended steps you must take before you can invoke the PSC module state transition'. I didn't find more details in documentation but it appears that PSC needs the SPI to clear the POWERDOWN bit before disabling the clock. Indeed, when this bit is set, the PSC gets stuck in transitions from enable to disable state. Clear the POWERDOWN bit when releasing driver's resources Signed-off-by: Bastien Curutchet <bastien.curutchet@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi, I ran into this bug by enabling the 'cs-gpio' property. It causes the probe to fail at first with -EPROBE_DEFER because the gpio provider is not ready. So the clock gets disabled. In the clock controller's driver (drivers/clk/davinci/psc.c) the clock_disable() calls a regmap_read_poll_timeout() with an infinite timeout. This poll() polls a transition bit status that never goes down so we end stuck in the middle of the boot sequence. drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c b/drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c index be3998104bfb..f7e8b5efa50e 100644 --- a/drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c +++ b/drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c @@ -984,6 +984,9 @@ static int davinci_spi_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) return ret; free_dma: + /* This bit needs to be cleared to disable dpsi->clk */ + clear_io_bits(dspi->base + SPIGCR1, SPIGCR1_POWERDOWN_MASK); + if (dspi->dma_rx) { dma_release_channel(dspi->dma_rx); dma_release_channel(dspi->dma_tx); @@ -1013,6 +1016,9 @@ static void davinci_spi_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) spi_bitbang_stop(&dspi->bitbang); + /* This bit needs to be cleared to disable dpsi->clk */ + clear_io_bits(dspi->base + SPIGCR1, SPIGCR1_POWERDOWN_MASK); + if (dspi->dma_rx) { dma_release_channel(dspi->dma_rx); dma_release_channel(dspi->dma_tx); -- 2.45.0
