[PATCH v2] mmc: sdhci-of-at91: disable selectively clocks on pm runtime

From: Aubin Constans

Date: Wed Oct 14 2026 - 16:28:36 EST


From: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

SDMMC run-time clock disabling is not supported in newer SoCs, including
SAMA7G54, SAMA7D65 and LAN969x.

Make the clock disabling scenario conditional:
- still enabled for the sama5d2 and sam9x60 compatibles (which are all
those implemented at present),
- otherwise avoided by default, for subsequent SoC families.

Changes in v2:
- Edit the commit msg to say the patch prepares SAMA7G54/SAMA7D65/LAN969x
SoC support w/o immediate change.
Also, move and summarize Romain's own commit msg close to its sign-off.
- Restore Claudiu's author and sign-off email to the microchip.com address
he had upon writing the patch.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260918153414.909333-1-aubin.constans@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
