[PATCH] SDRC: Remove SDRC_POWER register configuration from SDRC init.

[PATCH] SDRC: Remove SDRC_POWER register configuration from SDRC init.

[Artem Bityutskiy]

From: Samu Onkalo <samu.p.onkalo@nokia.com>

Bootloader must configure proper settings for SDRC before starting
kernel from SDRAM. Furthermore, removed lines violated omap3430 and
omap2420 SDRC errata (see errata 1.150)

The 2420 and 3430 errata data here seems to be old; neither one contains 
1.150.  While I wait for a new version to arrive, can you provide some 
more context on this errata?  Does it imply any restrictions on 
programming SDRC_POWER from SRAM, e.g., the CORE DVFS code?

Hi, 

Perhaps someone from TI could comment that. I'm not sure if I can share
errata information for public discussion.

Br,

This seems like it will make the kernel even more dependent on the
bootloader. As an example, there's code such as the IVA2 reset which
attempts to put the hardware in a good state even if the bootloader
screws up. Unfortunately not everyone has access to their bootloader
code.

Yes, I agree with Mike here.  Not every one can touch the bootloader.  And many operations the boot loader doesn't have context to know what the best setting for an application will be.

The boot loader needs to setup a valid DDR config for sure.  However, its unlikely it will setup for 'optimal' power management.  Further, when there are run time bugs fixes really only the kernel can do this.

You will need to turn on and off autocount before OFF mode on ES3.1.  Not doing so can result in trouble as the mask ROM itself before restoring context to kernel makes a mistake.  There are some SDRC_POWER settings you have to have at run time.

The init code shouldn't through out ACTIMINGS for DDR unless there is some policy in place, but it has less authority around power mode settings.

Richard W.

Okay, so erratum 1.150 basically is that when SDRC_POWER.PWDENA is set, 
the SDRC can power down the SDRAM before writes complete, and so PWDENA 
should never be used.  That's easy enough to deal with by removing the 
PWDENA bit set from the SDRC_POWER register write.  So I'll pass on this 
patch.

The patch description does raise another issue, which is that SDRC_POWER 
should probably be written from SRAM, per TRM section 11.2.4.4.9.2.  We 
could do this as part of omap3_sram_configure_core_dpll, which is is 
called at boot for boards that define their SDRAM memory parameters.  
Another option would be to add another SRAM function to do this.  I'm 
leaning towards the former.  Any other opinions on this?
