      ARM: mvebu: fix overlap of Crypto SRAM with PCIe memory window · d7d5a43c
      Thomas Petazzoni authored 
      When the Crypto SRAM mappings were added to the Device Tree files
describing the Armada XP boards in commit c466d997 ("ARM: mvebu:
define crypto SRAM ranges for all armada-xp boards"), the fact that
those mappings were overlaping with the PCIe memory aperture was
overlooked. Due to this, we currently have for all Armada XP platforms
a situation that looks like this:

Memory mapping on Armada XP boards with internal registers at
0xf1000000:

 - 0x00000000 -> 0xf0000000	3.75G 	RAM
 - 0xf0000000 -> 0xf1000000	16M	NOR flashes (AXP GP / AXP DB)
 - 0xf1000000 -> 0xf1100000	1M	internal registers
 - 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000	126M	PCIe memory aperture
 - 0xf8100000 -> 0xf8110000	64KB	Crypto SRAM #0	=> OVERLAPS WITH PCIE !
 - 0xf8110000 -> 0xf8120000	64KB	Crypto SRAM #1	=> OVERLAPS WITH PCIE !
 - 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000	1M	PCIe I/O aperture
 - 0xfff0000  -> 0xffffffff	1M	BootROM

The overlap means that when PCIe devices are added, depending on their
memory window needs, they might or might not be mapped into the
physical address space. Indeed, they will not be mapped if the area
allocated in the PCIe memory aperture by the PCI core overlaps with
one of the Crypto SRAM. Typically, a Intel IGB PCIe NIC that needs 8MB
of PCIe memory will see its PCIe memory window allocated from
0xf80000000 for 8MB, which overlaps with the Crypto SRAM windows. Due
to this, the PCIe window is not created, and any attempt to access the
PCIe window makes the kernel explode:

[    3.302213] igb: Copyright (c) 2007-2014 Intel Corporation.
[    3.307841] pci 0000:00:09.0: enabling device (0140 -> 0143)
[    3.313539] mvebu_mbus: cannot add window '4:f8', conflicts with another window
[    3.320870] mvebu-pcie soc:pcie-controller: Could not create MBus window at [mem 0xf8000000-0xf87fffff]: -22
[    3.330811] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1008) at 0xf08c0018

This problem does not occur on Armada 370 boards, because we use the
following memory mapping (for boards that have internal registers at
0xf1000000):

 - 0x00000000 -> 0xf0000000	3.75G 	RAM
 - 0xf0000000 -> 0xf1000000	16M	NOR flashes (AXP GP / AXP DB)
 - 0xf1000000 -> 0xf1100000	1M	internal registers
 - 0xf1100000 -> 0xf1110000	64KB	Crypto SRAM #0 => OK !
 - 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000	126M	PCIe memory
 - 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000	1M	PCIe I/O
 - 0xfff0000  -> 0xffffffff	1M	BootROM

Obviously, the solution is to align the location of the Crypto SRAM
mappings of Armada XP to be similar with the ones on Armada 370, i.e
have them between the "internal registers" area and the beginning of
the PCIe aperture.

However, we have a special case with the OpenBlocks AX3-4 platform,
which has a 128 MB NOR flash. Currently, this NOR flash is mapped from
0xf0000000 to 0xf8000000. This is possible because on OpenBlocks
AX3-4, the internal registers are not at 0xf1000000. And this explains
why the Crypto SRAM mappings were not configured at the same place on
Armada XP.

Hence, the solution is two-fold:

 (1) Move the NOR flash mapping on Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3-4 from
     0xe8000000 to 0xf0000000. This frees the 0xf0000000 ->
     0xf80000000 space.

 (2) Move the Crypto SRAM mappings on Armada XP to be similar to
     Armada 370 (except of course that Armada XP has two Crypto SRAM
     and not one).

After this patch, the memory mapping on Armada XP boards with
registers at 0xf1 is:

 - 0x00000000 -> 0xf0000000	3.75G 	RAM
 - 0xf0000000 -> 0xf1000000	16M	NOR flashes (AXP GP / AXP DB)
 - 0xf1000000 -> 0xf1100000	1M	internal registers
 - 0xf1100000 -> 0xf1110000	64KB	Crypto SRAM #0
 - 0xf1110000 -> 0xf1120000	64KB	Crypto SRAM #1
 - 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000	126M	PCIe memory
 - 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000	1M	PCIe I/O
 - 0xfff0000  -> 0xffffffff	1M	BootROM

And the memory mapping for the special case of the OpenBlocks AX3-4
(internal registers at 0xd0000000, NOR of 128 MB):

 - 0x00000000 -> 0xc0000000	3G 	RAM
 - 0xd0000000 -> 0xd1000000	1M	internal registers
 - 0xe800000  -> 0xf0000000	128M	NOR flash
 - 0xf1100000 -> 0xf1110000	64KB	Crypto SRAM #0
 - 0xf1110000 -> 0xf1120000	64KB	Crypto SRAM #1
 - 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000	126M	PCIe memory
 - 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000	1M	PCIe I/O
 - 0xfff0000  -> 0xffffffff	1M	BootROM

      ARM: dts: dra7: do not gate cpsw clock due to errata i877 · 0f514e69
      Mugunthan V N authored 
      

Errata id: i877

Description:
------------
The RGMII 1000 Mbps Transmit timing is based on the output clock
(rgmiin_txc) being driven relative to the rising edge of an internal
clock and the output control/data (rgmiin_txctl/txd) being driven relative
to the falling edge of an internal clock source. If the internal clock
source is allowed to be static low (i.e., disabled) for an extended period
of time then when the clock is actually enabled the timing delta between
the rising edge and falling edge can change over the lifetime of the
device. This can result in the device switching characteristics degrading
over time, and eventually failing to meet the Data Manual Delay Time/Skew
specs.
To maintain RGMII 1000 Mbps IO Timings, SW should minimize the
duration that the Ethernet internal clock source is disabled. Note that
the device reset state for the Ethernet clock is "disabled".
Other RGMII modes (10 Mbps, 100Mbps) are not affected

Workaround:
-----------
If the SoC Ethernet interface(s) are used in RGMII mode at 1000 Mbps,
SW should minimize the time the Ethernet internal clock source is disabled
to a maximum of 200 hours in a device life cycle. This is done by enabling
the clock as early as possible in IPL (QNX) or SPL/u-boot (Linux/Android)
by setting the register CM_GMAC_CLKSTCTRL[1:0]CLKTRCTRL = 0x2:SW_WKUP.

So, do not allow to gate the cpsw clocks using ti,no-idle property in
cpsw node assuming 1000 Mbps is being used all the time. If someone does
not need 1000 Mbps and wants to gate clocks to cpsw, this property needs
to be deleted in their respective board files.
