Subject: [PATCH] memory: renesas-rpc-if: Correct the STRTIM and some other
clean up

This is required to make the driver work correctly in my M3 environment.

The driver somehow works only with this left in place (with 2 bytes eaten
as before), otherwise all the flash reads all 0xff (via dirmap).


Do you boot from hyperflash?

No, I have arewto say 'cpld write 30 1' in U-Boot before a boot a kernel.

s/arewto/to/. :-)

Normally, the V3x Starter Kit boards are wired for the QSPI flash chips.

The system I'm using for testing boots from hyperflash. So most probably all registers
I don't touch in the driver are put into a reasonable state by the boot code, already.
If you don't boot from hyperflash, that at least would explain our different behavior.

Yes. Mind dumping the registers and sending to me?

Using the attached debug patch (0001-memory-renesas-rpc-if-DEBUG-Dump-register-
content.patch) on a r8a7796 system booting from Hyperflash with above register
dropping reverted (i.e. including touching these registers) I get

Before:
RPCIF_DRCR: 0x00000000
RPCIF_DRCMR: 0x00a00000
RPCIF_DREAR: 0x00000000
RPCIF_DROPR: 0x00000000
RPCIF_DRENR: 0xa222d400
RPCIF_DRDMCR: 0x0000000e
RPCIF_DRDRENR: 0x00005101

After:
RPCIF_DRCR: 0x001f0100
RPCIF_DRCMR: 0x00a00000
RPCIF_DREAR: 0x00010001
RPCIF_DROPR: 0x00000000
RPCIF_DRENR: 0xa202d400
RPCIF_DRDMCR: 0x0000000e
RPCIF_DRDRENR: 0x00005101

Comparing that, just 3 registers are different between my working version ("Before") and the version which shows the 2-byte offset ("After"): RPCIF_DRCR, RPCIF_DREAR and RPCIF_DRENR. With try & error, at least in my setup, I was able to reduce this to just RPCIF_DRCR. Dropping the burst mode I was able to 'fix' the two byte offset issue.

ACK! Thanks a lot for finding it! :-)
That's what I get on the first dirmap read:

Before:
RPCIF_CMNCR: 0x81fff301
RPCIF_DRCR: 0x00000000
RPCIF_DRCMR: 0x00030000
RPCIF_DREAR: 0x00000000
RPCIF_DROPR: 0x00000000
RPCIF_DRENR: 0x00004700
RPCIF_DRDMCR: 0x00000000
RPCIF_DRDRENR: 0x00000000

After:
RPCIF_CMNCR: 0x01fff301
RPCIF_DRCR: 0x001f0100
RPCIF_DRCMR: 0x00800000
RPCIF_DREAR: 0x00000001
RPCIF_DROPR: 0x00000000
RPCIF_DRENR: 0xa202d400
RPCIF_DRDMCR: 0x0000000e
RPCIF_DRDRENR: 0x00005101

Do you like to give the attached 0001-memory-renesas-rpc-if-Don-t-use-burst-mode-on-read.patch a try in your setup?

Works like charm! :-)


Good news, thanks! :)


Unfortunately, the SPI dirmap and/or writes are still broken.


I'm unsure about which function we are talking for "SPI dirmap"?

Regarding writes, in rpcif_io_xfer() in RPCIF_DATA_IN we have an additional place where burst mode is enabled:

if (!(smenr & RPCIF_SMENR_ADE(0xf)) && rpc->dirmap) {
...
regmap_write(rpc->regmap, RPCIF_DRCR,
RPCIF_DRCR_RBURST(32) | RPCIF_DRCR_RBE);
...

Maybe it's worth a try to replace this by just 0, as well:

regmap_write(rpc->regmap, RPCIF_DRCR, 0);

But of course, this is guessing, as I'm not sure if this

if (!(smenr & RPCIF_SMENR_ADE(0xf)) && rpc->dirmap) {

path is taken, at all?


Or even better, if you could adapt the "before / after" debug patch to the path which are still not working for you and share it and the results, we could compare it with my setup, too :)
