[PATCH v2 0/1] phy: qcom: usb-hs: program MSM8x60 vendor ULPI registers on power-on
From: Herman van Hazendonk

v2:
- Drop the new "qcom,vendor-init-seq" DT property entirely, per
Dmitry's review. The values being passed in were
platform-specific (identical across every MSM8x60 SoC) plus one
board-specific value, not per-device. Move all of it into the
driver.
- Drop the corresponding dt-bindings patch (the binding gains
nothing in v2).
- Hardcode the values in the driver behind a runtime flag that
only matches "qcom,usb-hs-phy-msm8660":
* reg 0x32 [5:4] = 11b - pre-emphasis 20% (platform-wide
across every MSM8x60 reference board / HP TouchPad / HTC)
* reg 0x36 bits 1,2 set - CDR auto-reset + SE1 gating
disabled (also platform-wide)
* reg 0x32 [3:0] = 5 - HS driver slope. This is the only
board-specific value; HP TouchPad webOS kernel uses 5, HTC
MSM8660 ports historically used 1. Since the TouchPad is
the only in-tree MSM8x60 consumer, the value is hardcoded
with a comment noting that a per-compatible override will
be needed when a second board lands.
- Comment in the driver also calls out that HTC vendor kernels
additionally write 0x0C to reg 0x31. The HP TouchPad webOS
kernel never touched that register and USB is stable without
it, so those bits are omitted until documentation surfaces.
- The companion DTS patch flipping the TouchPad PHY compatible
from "qcom,usb-hs-phy-apq8064" (a different SoC) to
"qcom,usb-hs-phy-msm8660" will be sent separately to the ARM
DTS tree as that's where it belongs.
On-device validation (HP TouchPad / APQ8060):
- Booted with v2 + the DTS compatible fix. PHY driver bound,
msm_hsusb HS link came up at high-speed, BC 1.2 charger
detection passed, UDC configured cleanly.
- 200 MB scp device->host + 200 MB scp host->device, with a
concurrent ping flood running in parallel:
- both transfers 19.1-19.3 s (~10.5 MB/s, the CPU+stack
ceiling for USB-net on a 1.5 GHz Scorpion)
- md5 round-trip identical both ways (zero corruption in
~400 MB of HS traffic)
- ping flood: 60/60 received, 0% loss
- usb0 counters: 0 errors, 0 dropped, 0 carrier losses,
0 collisions across 151k packets / 220 MB
- dmesg line count unchanged (no link resets, no PHY/USB
warnings emitted during stress)
The on-device test doesn't measure the analog effect of the
pre-emphasis / driver slope settings (that needs an oscilloscope
on D+/D-), but it does confirm the writes don't regress an
already-stable HS link.
