Hi,
I recently tested a board with SMSC9730 connected via USB HSIC to an
i.MX6S SOC. I used these patches on top of v4.14-rc8 for the USB HSIC
support: [1].
When I turned on autosuspend, the smsc95xx stopped in the middle of the
suspending routine and
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb3/3-1/power/runtime_status reported "suspending"
forever.
With some debug logs I found out, that the last line of code that was
executed is [2], after that I didn't get any further messages.
Then I applied the following diff and the suspend/resume started to work
reliably:
@@ -1382,10 +1385,11 @@ static int smsc95xx_link_ok_nopm(struct usbnet *dev)
ret = smsc95xx_mdio_read_nopm(dev->net, mii->phy_id, MII_BMSR);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
-
+ /*
ret = smsc95xx_mdio_read_nopm(dev->net, mii->phy_id, MII_BMSR);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
+ */
return !!(ret & BMSR_LSTATUS);
}
So it seems like the dummy read, that is commented with "first, a dummy
read, needed to latch some MII phys" causes problems in my setup. Do you
have an idea what could be the reason? Is this a proper fix?
Thanks,
Frieder
