[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] arm: socfpga: fix issue with warm reset when CSEL is 0

When CSEL=0x0 the socfpga bootrom does not touch the clock configuration for the device. This can lead to a boot failure on warm resets. This patch disables warm resets when CSEL=0. This results in the clock and pll configurations being reset on any reset issued when CSEL=0.

Changes in v3: - Change implementation to rely on cold reset for CSEL=0. Which is a much simpler approach to dealing with this special case during boot.

What about my suggestion for V2 about just loading function pointer into the reset jump address register ?
btw --- missing before the changelog, without it the changelog will land in git history.

Frankly, i really dont like relying on the existence of a snippet of code in the onchip ram being untouched to ensure a reboot/reset will occur for this csel=0 case. i am certain this case is rarely used, and confident that it isnt being used while trying to preserve sdram contents.
the downside is that the scorecard is reset every boot. so the bootrom will retry all the spl images again resulting in possibly longer boot times. The other is that things like sdram content preservation is not likely to work or the csel=0 case (but as i mentioned, i dont see this used often in cyclone5, and never have i seen it when csel=0).

Well, you already rely on such snippet, it's SPL. If you corrupt SPL and do warm reset, your system hangs, I had that multiple times :)
the downside is that the scorecard is reset every boot. so the bootrom will retry all the spl images again resulting in possibly longer boot times.
Is that significant ?

OK, I didn't see this requirement yet.

True. I would argue to just use cold resets but i think arria 10 has more use for the warm reset case.

The watchdog timeout is on the order of 1.5 seconds. That would be for each failed spl.

Frankly, i really dont like relying on the existence of a snippet of code in the onchip ram being untouched to ensure a reboot/reset will occur for this csel=0 case. i am certain this case is rarely used, and confident that it isnt being used while trying to preserve sdram contents.
Well, you already rely on such snippet, it's SPL. If you corrupt SPL and do warm reset, your system hangs, I had that multiple times :)
True. I would argue to just use cold resets but i think arria 10 has more use for the warm reset case.
OK
the downside is that the scorecard is reset every boot. so the bootrom will retry all the spl images again resulting in possibly longer boot times.
Is that significant ?
The watchdog timeout is on the order of 1.5 seconds. That would be for each failed spl.
Hm, OK. But then your system is kinda broken, so you should expect this I guess.
My thought exactly... I would like to see if Chin Liang or Dinh have any comments?
Chin Liang, Dinh, any comments?
Marek, I would like to propose we move forward with this patch?

TBH I'm still thinking if you turned the V2 into C code and passed a function pointer into the warm reset jump address register, that'd be the best.

I will give it a shot, i just dont like relying on the spl image still being present in the onchip ram. There is nothing preventing an errant process or user from overwriting it and i have run into customers using that memory for their own purposes.

That's very true .
Then again, we use warm reset all over the place, so we might as well keep things consistent.
