Just to make sure we are talking about the same things here. The pwrseq thingy, is already implemented in the mmc core. When it comes to Hikey, there is already a pwrseq node deployed in the DTB. So, we should be fine. Here are the MMC pwrseq bindings: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/mmc-pwrseq-simple.txt Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/mmc.txt Here is the Hikey DTS file: arch/arm64/boot/dts/hisilicon/hi6220-hikey.dts > > And for a short term fix, we should just add msleep(50) for now with > updated patch description. > > Does that that sound OK to everybody? Unfortunate, that doesn't work. Because, if user space via sysfs has prevented runtime suspend, the SDIO card never becomes power off with a call to pm_runtime_put*(), not even after waiting 50 ms. If we need a short term solution, I think there are two options. 1) Call pm_runtime_force_suspend() instead of pm_runtime_put*() at "down". This makes sure the card becomes powered off. At "up", call pm_runtime_force_resume() instead of pm_runtime_get_sync(). Because the runtime PM usage count it > 1, at "up", pm_runtime_force_resume() will power up the card, rather than deferring it. The problem with 1), is if there is an ACPI PM domain attached to the SDIO card device. Then this doesn't work. I can't tell if that is ever the case here. 2) At "up", after the call to pm_runtime_get_sync(), add a call to mmc_hw_reset(). This forces the mmc core to power cycle and re-init the SDIO card. This may in some cases be a waste, as the card may already have been power cycled, but at least we should now always be able to re-program the firmware. If there is no rush, I think we may consider to move away from using runtime PM to control power for SDIO cards. Because, what we seem to need, is a simple interface (reference counted) to power-on/off SDIO cards. Kind regards Uffe
