[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] imx: add macro to detect whether USB PHY is active

From: Stefan Agner stefan.agner@toradex.com
This macro allows to detect whether the USB PHY is active. This is helpful to detect if the boot ROM has previously started the USB serial downloader.
The idea is taken from the mfgtool support in the NXP U-Boot: http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/uboot-imx.git/commit/?h=imx_v2016....

Changes in v2: - Move macro to sys_proto.h - Renamed from is_boot_from_usb() to is_usbphy_active() - Use defines for register offset and field - Remove tab after define - Remove comment since the actual "magic" is happening and documented at usage side

The current mechanism using SCR/GPR registers work well when the serial downloader boot mode has been selected explicitly (either via boot mode pins or using bmode command). However, in case the system entered boot ROM due to unbootable primary boot devices (e.g. empty eMMC), the SPL fails to detect that it has been downloaded through serial loader and tries to continue booting from eMMC: Trying to boot from MMC1 mmc_load_image_raw_sector: mmc block read error SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
The only known way to reliably detect USB serial downloader is by checking the USB PHY receiver block power state...

Sorry, don't get that. Below I write "did not (yet) initialized"...

The proper English usage here is "did not (yet) initialize".
You don't need the past tense after "did not".

You know you're on the right track when the only comments about your patch are about naming, spelling and grammar ;)

Hehe, ok cool.
Yeah my parser was searching for a logical issue wrt initialize... :-)

At least MX6 and MX7 have USB Host PHY as well as USB OTG.
How about is_otgphy_active() instead?
