[PATCH v2 0/4] amlogic: t7: give the MMC bus pipeline clock real consumers

From: Lucas Tanure

Date: Sat Sep 05 2026 - 11:33:42 EST


The previous series for the intermittent boot hangs on the VIM4
marked sys_ampipe_nand as critical. But as Chuan Liu from Amlogic
explained, sys_ampipe_nand clocks a pipeline stage that the
hardware design inserts in the bus path between the SD/eMMC
controllers and the NIC_MATRIX fabric to help timing closure.

So the clock has real consumers: reference it from the three MMC
controller nodes and drop CLK_IS_CRITICAL instead.

The series crosses three trees; patch 4 (clk) must only land after
patches 1-3, otherwise the DMA hangs fixed by 43e1705ecab9 come back.

Changes since v1 [3]:
- Dropped the Fixes: tag; this series is an improvement and should not
be picked up by stable (Jerome Brunet)
- Moved the patch 4 dependency note below the --- so it is not kept
for posterity (Jerome Brunet)
- Dropped the e-mail address from the Assisted-by trailer, see
Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst (Jerome Brunet)
- Fixed the space-indented error path added to meson_mmc_probe() in
patch 2, it did not pass checkpatch
- Dropped the CLK_PIPELINE() macro from patch 2; has_pipeline_clk is a
capability flag, not an SD_EMMC_CLOCK register field

Thanks,
Lucas

dt-bindings: mmc: amlogic,meson-gx-mmc: document the T7 pipeline clock
mmc: meson-gx: enable the bus pipeline clock on T7
arm64: dts: amlogic: t7: add the pipeline clock to the MMC controllers
clk: meson: t7: don't mark sys_ampipe_nand as critical
