[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 0/9] Stop AXP from crashing when enabling LDO3

This is a resend/v2 of a "Stop AXP from crashing when enabling LDO3" series, posted by Olliver Schinagl in March 2017. Unfortunately it never got past initial discussion [1], but most Olimex Lime2 boards are still running into this bug.
When powering up an AXP209, the default value for LDO3 output is enabled. This works fine. However if for whatever reason, LDO3 is disabled, for example by OS during reboot and u-boot enables LDO3 again, the PMIC shuts down (without setting an interrupt) causing the board to hang. This behavior has been seen from Linux as well, u-boot disables LDO3 as a default value, the kernel enables it per its DTS, the kernel hangs as the PMIC gets shut down.
The root cause is that some boards have too high capacitance on the LDO3 output port causing inrush currents exceeding the maximum of the AXP209.
The fix is to turn on the LDO3 at the lowest possible voltage and then set the final voltage.
If the capacitance is really big (due to a connected device for example) the AXP209 also features VRC, or Voltage Rate Control, allowing voltage to ramp up even slower.
Similar changes need to be also implemented in the operating system driver side when driver needs to toggle power for the ALDO3 regulator.
This patch series implements the above with a few tiny cleanups.
The initial discussion with some scope screenshots can be found in the linux-sunxi mailing list [0].
And the initial series were posted to u-boot mailing list [1].

Currently during init, we enable all power, then enable the dram and after that check whether there was an error during power-up.
This makes little sense, we should enable power and then check if power was brought up properly before we continue to initialize other things.
This patch moves the DRAM init after the power failure check.

From: Olliver Schinagl oliver@schinagl.nl
The AXP209 LDO3 regulator supports voltage rate control, or can set a slew rate.
This allows for the power to gradually rise up to the desired voltage, instead of spiking up as fast as possible. Reason to have this can be to reduce the inrush currents for example.
There are 3 slopes to choose from, the default, 'none' is a voltage rise of 0.0167 V/uS, a 1.6 mV/uS and a 0.8 mV/uS voltage rise.
In ideal world (where vendors follow the recommended design guidelines) this setting should not be enabled by default. Unless of course AXP209 crashes instead of reporting overcurrent condition as it normally should do in this case.

From: Olliver Schinagl oliver@schinagl.nl
Some boards feature a capacitance on LDO3's output that is too large, causing inrush currents which as a result, shut down the AXP209. This has been reported before, without knowing the actual cause.
A fix appeared to be done with commit 0e6e34ac8dbb ("sunxi: Olimex A20 boards: Enable LDO3 and LDO4 regulators").
The description there is a bit misleading, the kernel does not hang during AXP209 initialization, the PMIC shuts down, causing voltages to drop and thus the whole system freezes.
While the AXP209 does have the ability to ramp up the voltage slowly, to reduce these inrush currents, the voltage rate control (VRC) however is not applicable when switching on the LDO3 output. Only when going from an enabled lower voltage setting, to a higher voltage setting is the VRC in effect.
To work around this problem, we set LDO3 to the lowest possible setting of 0.7 V if it was not yet enabled, and then let the VRC (if enabled) do its thing. It should be noted, that for some undocumented reason, there is a short delay needed between setting the LDO3 voltage register and enabling the power. One would expect that this delay ought to be just after enabling the output power at 0.7 V, but this did not work.

Some boards feature a capacitance on LDO3's output that is too large, causing inrush currents which as a result, shut down the AXP209. This has been reported before, without knowing the actual cause.
A fix appeared to be done with commit 0e6e34ac8dbb ("sunxi: Olimex A20 boards: Enable LDO3 and LDO4 regulators").
The description there is a bit misleading, the kernel does not hang during AXP209 initialization, the PMIC shuts down, causing voltages to drop and thus the whole system freezes.
While the AXP209 does have the ability to ramp up the voltage slowly, to reduce these inrush currents, the voltage rate control (VRC) however is not applicable when switching on the LDO3 output. Only when going from an enabled lower voltage setting, to a higher voltage setting is the VRC in effect.
To work around this problem, we set LDO3 to the lowest possible setting of 0.7 V if it was not yet enabled, and then let the VRC (if enabled) do its thing. It should be noted, that for some undocumented reason, there is a short delay needed between setting the LDO3 voltage register and enabling the power. One would expect that this delay ought to be just after enabling the output power at 0.7 V, but this did not work.

The lime2 features a too large capacitor on the LDO3 output, which causes the PMIC to shutdown when enabling power. To be able to still boot up however, we must gradually enable power on LDO3 for this board.
We do this by enabling both the inrush quirk and the maximum slope the AXP209 supports.

Well, this is actually v3. Missed this paragraph when pushing out v3.
When powering up an AXP209, the default value for LDO3 output is enabled. This works fine. However if for whatever reason, LDO3 is disabled, for example by OS during reboot and u-boot enables LDO3 again, the PMIC shuts down (without setting an interrupt) causing the board to hang. This behavior has been seen from Linux as well, u-boot disables LDO3 as a default value, the kernel enables it per its DTS, the kernel hangs as the PMIC gets shut down.
The root cause is that some boards have too high capacitance on the LDO3 output port causing inrush currents exceeding the maximum of the AXP209.
The fix is to turn on the LDO3 at the lowest possible voltage and then set the final voltage.
If the capacitance is really big (due to a connected device for example) the AXP209 also features VRC, or Voltage Rate Control, allowing voltage to ramp up even slower.
Similar changes need to be also implemented in the operating system driver side when driver needs to toggle power for the ALDO3 regulator.
This patch series implements the above with a few tiny cleanups.
The initial discussion with some scope screenshots can be found in the linux-sunxi mailing list [0].
And the initial series were posted to u-boot mailing list [1].

This is a resend/v2 of a "Stop AXP from crashing when enabling LDO3" series, posted by Olliver Schinagl in March 2017. Unfortunately it never got past initial discussion [1], but most Olimex Lime2 boards are still running into this bug.
When powering up an AXP209, the default value for LDO3 output is enabled. This works fine. However if for whatever reason, LDO3 is disabled, for example by OS during reboot and u-boot enables LDO3 again, the PMIC shuts down (without setting an interrupt) causing the board to hang. This behavior has been seen from Linux as well, u-boot disables LDO3 as a default value, the kernel enables it per its DTS, the kernel hangs as the PMIC gets shut down.
The root cause is that some boards have too high capacitance on the LDO3 output port causing inrush currents exceeding the maximum of the AXP209.
The fix is to turn on the LDO3 at the lowest possible voltage and then set the final voltage.
If the capacitance is really big (due to a connected device for example) the AXP209 also features VRC, or Voltage Rate Control, allowing voltage to ramp up even slower.
Similar changes need to be also implemented in the operating system driver side when driver needs to toggle power for the ALDO3 regulator.
This patch series implements the above with a few tiny cleanups.
The initial discussion with some scope screenshots can be found in the linux-sunxi mailing list [0].
And the initial series were posted to u-boot mailing list [1].

I also play with a Lime2-eMMC board(rev K) these days, but I found this board could do reboot whatevery in u-boot or kernel when it boot from emmc. But it reboot well when it boot from sdcard.
Sorry I mean this board couldn't do reboot from kernel or u-boot here .
This is a hw issue in rev.K. Please contact Olimex.

Can't see any further reboot log. unless i replug the power jack.
When I do reset from u-boot , it failed too:
