[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: mmc: increase MMC SDHCI read status timeout

Otherwise, ocassionally see errors like this: Flashing sparse image at offset 2078720 Flashing Sparse Image sdhci_send_command: Timeout for status update! mmc fail to send stop cmd write_sparse_image: Write failed, block #2181088 [0]
This does not affect the actual writing speed, which is controlled by the default value: CONFIG_SDHCI_CMD_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT
It only increases the retries when reading: SDHCI_INT_STATUS to avoid the timeout error.

IIRC, I've suggested to move SDHCI_CMD_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT to Kconfig and use the old value as default value. So that you can overwrite it for your board / platform via your defconfig. But I have no strong feelings here - your current version also works for me and does not "clutter" the Kconfig subsystem with too many values. So:

Thanks for the review... I didn't want to touch the "performance" algorithm related to SDHCI_CMD_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT (which maybe should be in Kconfig). However, the retry loop related to SDHCI_READ_STATUS_TIMEOUT doesn't need to be in Kconfig -- it is just a define. Thanks, Steve

It looks like (v.4.6) the code loops for max_loops=16, and it looks like the loop delay is created by a write (which does not exist in the U-Boot code): sdhci_writel(host, mask, SDHCI_INT_STATUS);

Maybe we should rewrite the area in question, for the next release to be like the kernel?

Maybe - I don't know enough about it -- it looks like there are interrupts involved.... ( Who could this be assigned to? ) I was just trying to get it to run without hitting the time out.... Thanks, Steve

When I see CONFIG_ prefix, I imagine this parameter can be configurable via Kconfig or board header, but this is not actually overridden.

that makes sense....

correct! so maybe the define should be ? : SDHCI_READ_STATUS_TIMEOUT
