The comment seems fully valid to me. The comment is confusing for a number of reasons: - It says for revision A of the EVK the flag must be enabled but the code is common for all platforms and there is no distinction about the platform where it runs. The flag must be enabled for any platform. - The flag is set by the function in any case (except if it is already set) so the comment superfluous. - The comment doesn't even say what the problem is on EVK_A or why the setting of the bit helps. Unless someone from Freescale elaborates the comment, I would remove it. At minimum I would move it somewhere else, like to the top of the function, not where it is now. Maybe Fabio can help. >> Signed-off-by: Hector Palacios <hector.palacios@digi.com> >> --- >> arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/mxs/spl_power_init.c | 9 +++------ >> 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/mxs/spl_power_init.c >> b/arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/mxs/spl_power_init.c index 5ee2d88..285ac79 >> 100644 >> --- a/arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/mxs/spl_power_init.c >> +++ b/arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/mxs/spl_power_init.c >> @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ static void mxs_power_clock2pll(void) >> CLKCTRL_CLKSEQ_BYPASS_CPU); >> } >> >> -static void mxs_power_clear_auto_restart(void) >> +static void mxs_power_set_auto_restart(void) >> { >> struct mxs_rtc_regs *rtc_regs = >> (struct mxs_rtc_regs *)MXS_RTC_BASE; >> @@ -65,10 +65,7 @@ static void mxs_power_clear_auto_restart(void) >> while (readl(&rtc_regs->hw_rtc_ctrl) & RTC_CTRL_CLKGATE) >> ; >> >> - /* >> - * Due to the hardware design bug of mx28 EVK-A >> - * we need to set the AUTO_RESTART bit. >> - */ >> + /* Do nothing if flag already set */ > > You're changing the behavior here and it's not documented. I see no point in > this change while at it. I'm not changing the behavior. I just renamed the function to reflect what the function does, which is set the flag, not clear it. Apart from the renaming, I didn't touch a line of real code. >> if (readl(&rtc_regs->hw_rtc_persistent0) & RTC_PERSISTENT0_AUTO_RESTART) >> return; >> >> @@ -903,7 +900,7 @@ void mxs_power_init(void) >> (struct mxs_power_regs *)MXS_POWER_BASE; >> >> mxs_power_clock2xtal(); >> - mxs_power_clear_auto_restart(); >> + mxs_power_set_auto_restart(); >> mxs_power_set_linreg(); >> mxs_power_setup_5v_detect(); > > Best regards, > Marek Vasut > Best regards, -- Hector Palacios

Right, I see the same. The comment hides some information, because we do not know which is the issue and in any case code does the opposite, setting the bit in any case. I think it is better to drop it. >>> -static void mxs_power_clear_auto_restart(void) >>> +static void mxs_power_set_auto_restart(void) >>> { >>> struct mxs_rtc_regs *rtc_regs = >>> (struct mxs_rtc_regs *)MXS_RTC_BASE; >>> @@ -65,10 +65,7 @@ static void mxs_power_clear_auto_restart(void) >>> while (readl(&rtc_regs->hw_rtc_ctrl) & RTC_CTRL_CLKGATE) >>> ; >>> >>> - /* >>> - * Due to the hardware design bug of mx28 EVK-A >>> - * we need to set the AUTO_RESTART bit. >>> - */ >>> + /* Do nothing if flag already set */ >> >> You're changing the behavior here and it's not documented.

Ah, I just looked at the code again, you're both right. I would expand the comment once we know what the problem is on EVK-A. This is the original code from imx-bootlets power-prep/power-prep.c : 304 /* clear RTC ALARM wakeup or AUTORESTART bits here. */ 305 void PowerPrep_ClearAutoRestart( void ) 306 { 307 HW_RTC_CTRL_CLR( BM_ICOLL_CTRL_SFTRST ); 308 while( HW_RTC_CTRL.B.SFTRST == 1 ); 309 HW_RTC_CTRL_CLR( BM_ICOLL_CTRL_CLKGATE ); 310 while( HW_RTC_CTRL.B.CLKGATE == 1 ); 311 /* Due to the hardware design bug of mx28 EVK-A 312 * we need to set the AUTO_RESTART bit. 313 */ 314 if(HW_RTC_PERSISTENT0.B.AUTO_RESTART==0) 315 { 316 while(BF_RD( RTC_STAT, NEW_REGS)); 317 HW_RTC_PERSISTENT0.B.AUTO_RESTART = 1; 318 BF_SET(RTC_CTRL, FORCE_UPDATE); 319 BF_CLR(RTC_CTRL, FORCE_UPDATE); 320 while(BF_RD( RTC_STAT, NEW_REGS)); 321 while(BF_RD( RTC_STAT, STALE_REGS)); 322 } 323 } > >>> -static void mxs_power_clear_auto_restart(void) > >>> +static void mxs_power_set_auto_restart(void) > >>> > >>> { > >>> > >>> struct mxs_rtc_regs *rtc_regs = > >>> > >>> (struct mxs_rtc_regs *)MXS_RTC_BASE; > >>> > >>> @@ -65,10 +65,7 @@ static void mxs_power_clear_auto_restart(void) > >>> > >>> while (readl(&rtc_regs->hw_rtc_ctrl) & RTC_CTRL_CLKGATE) > >>> > >>> ; > >>> > >>> - /* > >>> - * Due to the hardware design bug of mx28 EVK-A > >>> - * we need to set the AUTO_RESTART bit. > >>> - */ > >>> + /* Do nothing if flag already set */ > >> > >> You're changing the behavior here and it's not documented.

I must have been fully blind, please feel free to laugh at me, this calls for a facepalm. Sorry. Best regards, Marek Vasut

The AUTO_RESTART flag of HW_RTC_PERSISTENT0 register will power up the chip automatically 180ms after power down. This bit must be enabled by the boot loader to ensure the target can start upon hardware reset or watchdog reset even when powered from a battery. Currently the function named 'mxs_power_clear_auto_restart()' is setting this flag although the 'clear' in its name suggest the opposite. This patch renames the function to 'mxs_power_set_auto_restart()' and removes the comment about EVK revision A which was confusing because the function indeed was setting the flag.
