[PATCH] mmc: pwrseq_simple: fix probe failure when CONFIG_RESET_GPIO is enabled
From: Sergey Suloev
Date: Fri Feb 20 2026 - 14:47:49 EST
The driver uses a heuristic — checking if exactly one entry exists in
'reset-gpios' — to decide whether to attempt reset controller API usage
via devm_reset_control_get_optional_shared(). This is semantically
incorrect and causes a permanent probe failure when CONFIG_RESET_GPIO
is enabled.
When CONFIG_RESET_GPIO=y, __of_reset_control_get() intercepts the
'reset-gpios' DT property and attempts to register the GPIO as a reset
controller via __reset_add_reset_gpio_device(). If the GPIO controller
is not yet fully initialized at probe time, this returns -ENOENT instead
of -EPROBE_DEFER, and the error path does not respect the 'optional'
flag, causing pwrseq_simple to fail permanently rather than defer.
This prevents mmc1 from probing on boards that use 'reset-gpios' for
WiFi power sequencing, such as BananaPi M2 Magic with AP6212/BCM43430
on Allwinner R16.
The correct indicator of reset controller intent is the explicit presence
of a 'resets' property in the device tree node, not the count of
'reset-gpios' entries. A single 'reset-gpios' entry is just as likely
to be a plain GPIO as multiple entries.
Replace the ngpio == 1 heuristic with an explicit check for the 'resets'
DT property, making the behavior unambiguous and immune to
CONFIG_RESET_GPIO interference.
