[PATCH v2 0/1] AM65x MMC power-off delay fix
From: Judith Mendez
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 13:46:08 EST
This series adds power-off-delay-us in AM65x EVM DT to ensure proper MMC
card power cycling during boot.
AM65x EVM VDD rail discharges slowly (~632.97ms) through RC circuit.
Without sufficient power-off delay, SD card boot fails in bootloader stage.
AM65x SD boot failure was initially exposed by U-Boot MMC driver patch [0],
which was correct but revealed EVM hardware limitation. There is no SD card
boot failure in Linux yet, but proper power cycling is required regardless.
Additionally, equivalent Linux kernel discussions for similar fix [0] are
ongoing. Linux MMC driver now supports delay after MMC power-off [1] and
this patch adds power-off-delay-us=650ms to AM65x EVM DT.
