[U-Boot] [PATCH] mvebu: usb: Add missing controller reset after initialization

In order to allow for Linux properly register the integrated EHCI host, we have to reset it after initialization. Without this, enumeration fails if 'usb start' wasn't issued prior to booting Linux.

I think this reset should actually be done in the Linux driver.
From what you write I suspect that after a "usb stop" in U-Boot the
Linux driver maight fail, too. Leaving USB enabled in U-Boot is extremely dangerous - see

USB: shutdown USB before booting
This patch fixes a potentially serious issue related to USB which was discouvered by Martin Krause martin.krause@tqs.de and fixed for ARM920T. Martin wrote:
Turn off USB to prevent the host controller from writing to the SDRAM while Linux is booting. This could happen, because the HCCA (Host Controller Communication Area) lies within the SDRAM and the host controller writes continously to this area (as busmaster!), for example to increase the HccaFrameNumber variable, which happens every 1 ms.
This is a slightly modified version of the patch in order to shutdown USB when booting on all architectures.

Ah, thanks for pointing this out! I had no idea the HCD does things like this. Though I'm a bit confused now how to solve the issue at hand:

This commit exists in my tree, therefore when I call 'bootm' it should stop USB. To be sure, I tested calling 'usb stop' manually before doing 'tftpboot; bootm' and the enumeration still succeeds in Linux.
Since this all does not seem to make much sense, I reviewed my changes again to see if the controller really is enabled after the reset - it is not, but I found something more important: The reset is actually not necessary at all!
The bit which really was missing is the USB mode setting I smuggled in along with my patch - setting the devices to host mode is sufficient for Linux to successfully enumerate the HCD.
Checking the logs of the vendor's U-Boot fork, it appears that devices 1 and 2 are configured to host mode, while the third is set to device mode. I changed my code to copy that, but am not sure it's necessary at all: The DS414 exports only a single port of the SoC's EHCI, and Linux detects that:
| orion-ehci f1050000.usb: EHCI Host Controller | orion-ehci f1050000.usb: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 | orion-ehci f1050000.usb: irq 27, io mem 0xf1050000 | orion-ehci f1050000.usb: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00 | hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found | hub 3-0:1.0: 1 port detected
OTOH I'm not sure how far this configuration is device specific in the first place. What puzzles me is that I couldn't find a reference to this USB mode register at 0x501A8 in Marvell's MV78230 specs, still it seems to be crucial. Does anyone of you have this register referenced in some Marvell datasheet somewhere?
Maybe there's also a more generic way to do this, 'usb start' (which solves the problem without any changes to the SoC init code) seems to not address this register.
Thanks, Phil

OK, so the controller is OTG capable and upon reset, it's in Gadget mode?

It's the USBMODE register, see for example [1] . It's part of EHCI cores which are OTG capable.
[1] http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c#L179
Maybe there's also a more generic way to do this, 'usb start' (which solves the problem without any changes to the SoC init code) seems to not address this register.
Probably add a fixup into ehci-orion.c in Linux or something along those lines. It should configure the code according to the "dr_mode" DT prop.

Yes, seems it's capable. Upon reset, register 0x501a0 contains value 0. Trying to print register 0x511a0 freezes U-Boot for me.

Interesting. I would have expected this to show up in MV78230 specs, but maybe I missed the part where it clarifies these offsets to be standard conformant.

Hmm. Searching through the relevant DT files didn't yield a result for "dr_mode". Seems like this property is missing, maybe that's why Linux fails here? Is this something generally user-configurable? (Note that I don't have the slightest idea of how device mode USB works in Linux).
Thanks, Phil

0x501a0 and 0x511a0 are two different registers. Freeze usually indicates disabled clock to the IP block or somesuch.

It seems to be standard comformant, but I didn't see the datasheet.

More likely it's not implemented for the MVEBU yet.

Yes, you can run the core in either Host/Gadget/OTG mode. For that to work, you need to configure the core mode.

I reported the issue to linux-usb list back in January, but never got any usable reply. So no progress upstream.
Also, it seems that even with this patch the front USB port is not usable in Linux, no devices are detected.
