[PATCH v8 28/29] phy: rockchip: usbdp: Avoid xHCI SErrors

From: Sebastian Reichel

Date: Fri Jun 26 2026 - 17:06:13 EST


The USBDP PHY provides the PIPE clock to the USB3 controller, which
means the PHY must be fully running when anything tries to access
the xHCI registers.

When switching between USB3-only, USB3 + DP and DP-only mode, the
PHY must be re-initialized resulting in a short period of the PHY
being disabled. If the DWC3 driver decides to access the xHCI at
this point the system will fail with an SError.

This patch avoids the problems by disabling the USB3 port before
re-initializing it. This does a couple of things:

- forces phystatus to 0 from GRF (not from PHY)
- switches PIPE clock source from PHY to UTMI (safe fallback clock)
- num_u3_port=0

The last part will be ignored, as DWC3 already probed, but the
clock re-routing will avoid the SError. There is a small delay
afterwards to make sure the mux happened. The datasheet gives
no hints how long it takes, so delay time is a guess.
