[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] spl: imx6: Let spl_boot_device return USDHC1 or USDHC2
Currently, when the spl_boot_device checks the boot device, it will only return MMC1 when it's either sd or eMMC regardless of whether or not it's MMC1 or MMC2. This is a problem when booting from MMC2 if MMC isn't being manually configured like in the DM_SPL case with SPL_OF_CONTROL.
This patch will check the register and return either MMC1 or MMC2.

Since the board uses SPL_OF_CONTROL now, we don't need to explicitly initialize the MMC driver, but we still need to pinmux the corresponding pins. This patch removes the initialization code and leave just the muxing behind.

I just got to test v2019.10-rc1, which includes this change, and I'm unable to boot SPL on my Hummingboard 2, which uses USDHC-2 for sdcard.
Looks like this change breaks devices that are not using device tree/dynamic mmc initialization, as the MMC index will not necessarily be correct.
Looking at mx6cuboxi.c in particular, fsl_esdhc_initialize will only be called once as it already knows which MMC device to initialize based on the BOOT_CFG register, causing the device mmc devnum to be 1 only. The issue shows up when booting SPL as find_mmc_device will look for a matching dev_num index, which gets automatically increased when fsl_esdhc_initialize gets called (and which is only called once in my case, for MMC2).
This is not an issue with imx6q_logic as at 8f4691e31a18254d225524a4b018b8cbcddc70b1 you removed fsl_esdhc_initialize, but all the other boards using MMC2 and doing only one single call will have the same problem.
Not sure if there is an easy fix here, but converting everything to dynamic mmc initialization will required quite a bit of effort.
Thanks,

I wondered if it would break a board. It's why I originally sent it as an RFC.

How hard would it be to use the device tree/dynamic initialization for your board? It seems to be the trend, and at least in some cases, they've made it required and boards that don't comply get removed. It seems like we're prolonging. I'd be open for an #ifdef hook around it, but I am not sure how that would fly with the maintainers. My goal is to remove as much board-specific code as possible and move it to the shared code to reduce the overhead and code size. Checking for SPL_OF_CONTROL && DM_MMC might be potential work-around to the work-around.

I agree that moving to use device tree/dynamic initialization is the way to go, but in this case we should probably have an ifdef as you suggested, so we can avoid breaking the boot process while everything gets migrated to dt.

The short term workaround would be create multiple mmc in SPL stage.
For long term, it would be better to use DM.
