[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 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 v3: None 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...

Changes in v3: - Fix spelling and grammar
Changes in v2: - Add comment that we infer boot ROM behavior from USB PHY state

Hi Stefan,
I hate to be fussy about this, but I don't think I saw a reply to my earlier comment about the term "USB PHY".
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2017-September/305123.html
Since i.MX6 SoCs have USB **Host** Phy's as well as the USB OTG Phy, this patch is a bit misleading.
There's no reference to OTG anywhere in this or patch 2.

To be consistent with the names, Eric is right. We have PHY0 for OTG and PHY1 for Host. If you still want to use as name is_usbphy_active, then this should take as parameter the phy number, or you switch to a "otg" name to ensure that it is only for the OTG interface.
Best regards, Stefano

Hm, sorry I missed that.

For the registers itself I followed the notation used in chapter 66 and arch/arm/include/asm/arch-mx6/imx-regs.h.
Renaming the function macro makes sense I agree.
The USB serial downloader only works with the OTG USB PHY anyway, so I will rename it. I like to have USB still in there, how about:
is_usbotg_phy_active()

Looks fine. Please send a v4 with it and we should be good :-)

No worries. We're here to nag...
