This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gpio: aspeed: Add the flush write to ensure the write complete. to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: gpio-aspeed-add-the-flush-write-to-ensure-the-write-.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c336c9f98eb83f2b7f0956f9a95f4fa22c9801b4 Author: Billy Tsai <billy_tsai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 8 16:14:44 2024 +0800 gpio: aspeed: Add the flush write to ensure the write complete. [ Upstream commit 1bb5a99e1f3fd27accb804aa0443a789161f843c ] Performing a dummy read ensures that the register write operation is fully completed, mitigating any potential bus delays that could otherwise impact the frequency of bitbang usage. E.g., if the JTAG application uses GPIO to control the JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and TRST), and the application sets the TCK clock to 1 MHz, the GPIO's high/low transitions will rely on a delay function to ensure the clock frequency does not exceed 1 MHz. However, this can lead to rapid toggling of the GPIO because the write operation is POSTed and does not wait for a bus acknowledgment.
