[PATCH v2 0/4] mmc: sdhci_am654: Fix DDR50 mode for cards without tuning support

From: Diogo Ivo (Schneider Electric)

Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 11:30:13 EST


DDR50 mode is not required to support the tuning command CMD19 by the
eMMC/SD specification, meaning that calibration may fail on cards that
do not implement it. This series fixes four issues discovered when
using such cards:

- Patch 1 moves the tuning_loop counter from a persistent struct field
to a local variable, preventing failed tuning attempts from depleting
the retry budget across calls.

- Patch 2 ensures the command/data line reset is always performed
after tuning, even on failure, preventing stale data in the
controller buffer.

- Patch 3 clears the ITAPDLY enable and delay values on tuning
failure so that leftover calibration values do not interfere with
subsequent I/O.

- Patch 4 falls back to the DT-provided itap delay value for DDR50
when tuning fails in this mode, making a best-effort attempt at a
known-good delay being programmed.

Together these changes make DDR50 functional on TI J721E SoCs with
cards that lack CMD19 tuning support. This second version addresses
all comments from Sashiko, which I found to be correct.

Changes in v2:
- Add new patch moving tuning_loop to a local variable (Patch 1)
- Clear ITAPDLY array values alongside HW registers on tuning failure (Patch 3)
- Save DT-provided itap delay values for DDR50 in dedicated variables
to preserve them across tuning cycles (Patch 4)
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260729-am654-sdhci-v1-0-7568108e4b9a@xxxxxxxxxxx
