A dirty workaround to default PAD config is : diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-imx/iomux-v3.c b/arch/arm/mach-imx/iomux-v3.c index 680d260..c21d8a2 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mach-imx/iomux-v3.c +++ b/arch/arm/mach-imx/iomux-v3.c @@ -45,6 +45,8 @@ int mxc_iomux_v3_setup_pad(iomux_v3_cfg_t pad) if (!(pad_ctrl & NO_PAD_CTRL) && pad_ctrl_ofs) __raw_writel(pad_ctrl, base + pad_ctrl_ofs); + else if ((pad_ctrl & NO_PAD_CTRL) && pad_ctrl_ofs) + __raw_writel(0, base + pad_ctrl_ofs); return 0; } Eric _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
