Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] usb: ulpi: defer ulpi_register on ulpi_read_id timeout

Since commit 0f010171
Dual Role support on Intel Merrifield platform broke due to rearranging
the call to dwc3_get_extcon().

It appears to be caused by ulpi_read_id() on the first test write failing
with -ETIMEDOUT. Currently ulpi_read_id() expects to discover the phy via
DT when the test write fails and returns 0 in that case even if DT does not
provide the phy. Due to the timeout being masked dwc3 probe continues by
calling dwc3_core_soft_reset() followed by dwc3_get_extcon() which happens
to return -EPROBE_DEFER. On deferred probe ulpi_read_id() finally succeeds.

This patch changes ulpi_read_id() to return -ETIMEDOUT when it occurs and
catches the error in dwc3_core_init(). It handles the error by calling
dwc3_core_soft_reset() after which it requests -EPROBE_DEFER. On deferred
probe ulpi_read_id() again succeeds.

Can you split the dwc3 change and ulpi change to separate patches?

We shouldn't need to do soft reset here. The controller shouldn't be at
a bad/incorrect state at this point to warrant a soft-reset. There will
be a soft-reset when it goes through the initialization again.

We shouldn't automatically set every error status to correspond to
-EPROBE_DEFER. Check only the approapriate error codes (-ETIMEDOUT +
any other?).

It doesn't go through the initialization again unless we set
-EPROBE_DEFER. And when we make ulpi_read_id() return -EPROBE_DEFER it
will goto err0 here, so skips dwc3_core_soft_reset.

Do you mean you prefer something like:

if (ret) {

    if (ret == -ETIMEDOUT) ret = -EPROBE_DEFER;

    else goto err0;

}

Other could be -ENOMEM. I think no need to do any new handling for that.

I just tested, and calling dwc3_core_soft_reset() proves to be necessary
as we need to goto err0 directly after. Else ret is overwritten and
-EPROBE_DEFER lost.

Why "else"? But I saw you remove that in the new patch.

Looks like there's a strange dependency problem here.
* The setup needs a soft-reset before ulpi registration
* The ulpi registration needs to go before the phy initialization
* The soft-reset should be called after the phy initialization

I can't explain the actual issue here, and we can't debug further
because to look into it further would require looking at internal
signals.

This soft-reset and -EPROBE_DEFER seems to be a workaround to this
dependency problem. Instead of using -EPROBE_DEFER, can you do this:

There's also -EINVAL and some others too. Regardless, if it's -ENOMEM,
then it should not return -EPROBE_DEFER.
