[PATCH v3 2/2] mmc: sdhci-of-dwcmshc: Set CQHCI command idle time for StarFive JHB100

From: Changhuang Liang

Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 03:22:55 EST


Add a cqhci_cit_ns member to struct dwcmshc_pltfm_data so that platforms
can set the CQHCI Send Status Command Idle Timer (CIT). When it is set,
dwcmshc_cqhci_init() passes it to the CQHCI core via cq_host->cit_ns
before cqhci_init(), and the CQHCI core programs it every time the CQE
is enabled.

Use it to set the CIT to 320 ns on StarFive JHB100 to improve eMMC CQE
performance. Before/after dd results:

before:
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null bs=1M count=800
838860800 bytes (839 MB, 800 MiB) copied, 9.38511 s, 89.4 MB/s
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M count=800
838860800 bytes (839 MB, 800 MiB) copied, 12.2127 s, 68.7 MB/s

after:
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null bs=1M count=800
838860800 bytes (839 MB, 800 MiB) copied, 3.19472 s, 263 MB/s
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M count=800
