[PATCH] mmc: sdhci-of-dwcmshc: Disable CQE error halt request for Rockchip
From: Shawn Lin
Date: Tue Sep 22 2026 - 05:56:47 EST
In CMDQ mode an I/O error in one task (data_crc_err, data_end_bit_err,
etc.) makes the controller raise a halt request. While the halt request
is pending, the controller rejects doorbell writes with a slave response
error, which hangs the CPU (or raises SError on ARM) on Rockchip
platforms.
A software workaround[1] clears CQHCI_CTL right before ringing the
doorbell to narrow down the window, but a race remains: an I/O error can
still happen in another slot between the CQHCI_CTL write and the
doorbell kick, so the hang is not fully solved.
To fix this once and for all, newer silicon introduces
SW_ERR_HALR_REQ_DISABLE (CQHCI_CTL[1]) which stops the controller from
raising a halt request on I/O errors. Set the bit when the CQE is
enabled, which is the last CQHCI_CTL write before any doorbell write.
Older SoCs keep this bit reserved, so writing it is a no-op and nothing
changes in the wild, thus no fixes tag is needed.
