Subject: [PATCH] scsi: ufs: qcom: Perform read back after writing reset bit

Currently, the reset bit for the UFS provided reset controller (used by
its phy) is written to, and then a mb() happens to try and ensure that
hit the device. Immediately afterwards a usleep_range() occurs.

mb() ensure that the write completes, but completion doesn't mean that
it isn't stored in a buffer somewhere. The recommendation for
ensuring this bit has taken effect on the device is to perform a read
back to force it to make it all the way to the device. This is
documented in device-io.rst and a talk by Will Deacon on this can
be seen over here:

https://youtu.be/i6DayghhA8Q?si=MiyxB5cKJXSaoc01&t=1678

Let's do that to ensure the bit hits the device. By doing so and
guaranteeing the ordering against the immediately following
usleep_range(), the mb() can safely be removed.

Since it mucks with the reset as well, and looks like it will go in
soon.

I'm unsure if this is totally correct. The goal of this
seems to be "ensure the device reset bit has taken effect before
delaying afterwards". As I describe in the commit message, mb()
doesn't guarantee that, the read back does... if it's against a udelay().
I can't quite totally 100% convince myself that applies to usleep_range(),
but I think it should be.

In either case, I think the read back makes sense, the question is "is
it safe to remove the mb()?".

Sorry, Will's talk over has inspired me to poke the bear whenever I see
a memory barrier in a driver I play with :)

This patch is perfectly fine. I did similar cleanups earlier, but missed this
one. Thanks!

There are more mb()'s that need to be replaced, namely the mb() calls in
ufshcd_system_restore() and ufshcd_init().

Thanks,

Bart.

I'll poke at those in v2 (or in a separate series if this is scooped up
prior).

Thanks,
