[PATCH] mmc: sdhci-pci-gli: GL9767: Wait for UHS-II PHY before LPM

From: Matthew Schwartz

Date: Wed Oct 21 2026 - 19:34:37 EST


sdhci_gl9767_set_clock() re-enables low power negotiation right after
releasing the UHS-II PHY reset. If the bus then goes idle before the
PHY has settled, every SDHCI MMIO read returns all-ones for about 250
us. sdhci_uhs2_interface_detect() takes that as IF_DETECT and LANE_SYNC
set, so a UHS-I only microSD card is treated as UHS-II. The attach then
either fails with "SDHCI_UHS2_CAPS_PTR(65535) is wrong" or, if the
registers come back before the CAPS_PTR read, runs DEVICE_INIT 30 times
with a 10 second timeout each and delays card detection by 5 minutes.

Config register 0x8CC reads 0x2000 from clock enable until about 250-300
us after the PHY reset release and 0x1000 otherwise. Poll its bit 13
before re-enabling low power negotiation. The register meaning is
inferred from that behaviour, and with the wait in place 12 of 12
UHS-II probes of a UHS-I card correctly found no UHS-II interface.

Fixes: 27dd3b82557a ("mmc: sdhci-pci-gli: enable UHS-II mode for GL9767")
