Subject: [PATCH] ARM: socfpga: fix base address of SDR controller

From: Simon Goldschmidt <[email protected]>

The documentation for socfpga gen5 says the base address of the sdram
controller is 0xffc20000, while the current devicetree says it is at
0xffc25000.

While this is not a problem for Linux, as it only accesses the registers
above 0xffc25000, it *is* a problem for U-Boot because the lower registers
are used during DDR calibration (up to now, the U-Boot driver does not use
the dts address, but that should change).

To keep Linux and U-Boot devicetrees in sync, this patch changes the base
address to 0xffc20000 and adapts the 2 files where it is currently used.

This patch changes the dts and 2 drivers with one commit to prevent
breaking the code if dts change and driver change would be split.

These offsets are used for ldr/sdr and are limited to 12 bits. This
won't build if CONFIG_SOCFPGA_SUSPEND is enabled.

I don't see the U-Boot device tree having this change. Yes, the
documentation does state that the SDR address starts at 0xffc20000, but
all of the pertinent registers start at 0x5000 offset. Thus, the
starting address should be 0xffc25000.[1]

You don't see it in U-Boot as I'm working on a patch for that.
As I wrote in the commit message, U-Boot currently does not use the
devicetree for the SDR driver, but I want to convert it to do that.

But before converting, I need to find a clean way to provide the
register addresses to the driver. That doesn't work with the current dts.

Well, in [2], you see that the peripheral's address range actually starts
at 0xffc20000. It's only the public documented registers that start at
0xffc25000. I don't know why the lower address range is undocumented.
Maybe you can help me here?

But U-Boot needs to use the undocumented registers to bring up the DDR-RAM.
Even if the registers for that are not (clearly?) documented, I think the
devicetree should still reflect the correct address range.

The U-Boot driver is made up of 2 files (in drivers/ddr/altera):
- sdram_gen5.c [3]: using the documented registers from 0xffc25000
- sequencer.c [4]: using the (undocumented?) registers from 0xffc20000

In both files, you can see the register addresses they use by checking the
static variables at the top of the file. And for convenience, use [5] to
search for the values of defines.

Right. I didn't realise there is an actual address in that file as it says
"Example"...

But I'll make sure to change that if this patch is accepted.

Oops, you're right. Sorry for that. I just saw now that socfpga_defconfig
leaves CONFIG_SOCFPGA_SUSPEND inactive. I'll make sure to test that if it
comes to v2 (depending on the discussion).

That's great! Can you elaborate on what is the impetus for converting
the SDR driver to use the dts?

The initial reason to do so was to move its reset handling from U-Boot
SPL to the driver itself. Moving from ad-hoc code to using the reset driver.

And when it's being converted to using the reset handle from dts, I
think it should also use the base address from dts.

Yes, the reason these register are not documented is that the ddr
engineers didn't really want anyone outside of their team messing around
with the calibration. These registers, from the limited documentation I
have, are related to the PHY settings. I've been told the calibration
sequence is something of a "black" magic.

Well, yes, this could wait. The problem is we wanted to keep Linux and
U-Boot dts in sync.

I guess I'll just finish preparing my patch for U-Boot changing the dts
there and then we'll see which part gets pushed first...

That's exactly how I thought it would be. However, that's not the best
attitued for getting code into an open source project like U-Boot. For
example, I wanted to take a look at the code to see if it can be made
smaller, but that's unnecessary hard if the registers are not documented...
