[PATCH v2 06/11] scsi: ufs: core: Add support to retrain TX Equalization via debugfs

From: Can Guo

Date: Wed Mar 04 2026 - 08:56:00 EST


Drastic environmental changes, such as significant temperature shifts, can
impact UFS link signal integrity. In such cases, retraining the Transmit
(TX) Equalization is necessary to find optimal settings that compensate
for these thermal effects.

Add a debugfs entry, 'retrain_tx_eq', to allow userspace to manually
trigger the TX Equalization training (EQTR) process. These entries are
created on a per-gear basis for High Speed Gear 4 (HS-G4) and above, as
EQTR is not supported for lower gears.

The 'retrain_tx_eq' entry is a write-only trigger that initiates the
retraining sequence when the value '1' is written to it.

The ufshcd's debugfs folder structure will look like below:

/sys/kernel/debug/ufshcd/*ufs*/
|--tx_eq_hs_gear1/
| |--device_tx_eq_params
| |--host_tx_eq_params
|--tx_eq_hs_gear2/
|--tx_eq_hs_gear3/
|--tx_eq_hs_gear4/
|--tx_eq_hs_gear5/
|--tx_eq_hs_gear6/
|--device_tx_eq_params
|--device_tx_eqtr_record
|--host_tx_eq_params
|--host_tx_eqtr_record
|--retrain_tx_eq
