[RFC PATCH 0/1] Timeout error with Microchip OTPC driver on SAM9X60

Hei hei,

on a custom sam9x60 based board we want to access a unique ID of the
SoC. Microchip sam-ba has a command 'readuniqueid' which returns the
content of the OTPC Product UID x Register in that case.

(On a different board with a SAMA5D2 we use the Serial Number x Register
exposed through the atmel soc driver, which is not present in the
SAM9X60 series.)

There is a driver for the OTPC of the SAMA7G5 and after comparing
register layouts it seems that one is almost identical to the one used
by SAM9X60. So I thought just adapting the driver for SAM9X60 should be
easy. (At least as a start, the driver has no support for that UID
register, but I suppose it would be the right place to implement it.)

However it does not work. I used the patch attached with
additional debug messages on a SAM9X60-Curiosity board. (That patch is
not meant for inclusion, just for showing what I've tried.)

On probe the function mchp_otpc_init_packets_list() returns with
ETIMEDOUT, which it can only do if mchp_otpc_prepare_read() returns with
timeout and that can only happen if read_poll_timeout() times out on
reading the Status Register. Poking that register with `devmem
0xeff0000c 32` gives 0x00000040 which means "A packet read is on-going".

Kinda stuck here. Any ideas?

Greets and have a nice weekend everyone
