[PATCH v2] Revert "arm64: dts: lx2160a: add pinmux and i2c gpio to support bus recovery" - Linux-stable-mirror

14 Jul 2025

This reverts commit 8a1365c7bbc122bd843096f0008d259e7a8afc61.
The commit in questions most notably breaks SD-Card on SolidRun
LX2162A Clearfog by corrupting the pinmux in dynamic configuration area
for non-i2c pins without pinmux node.
It is further expected that it breaks SD Card-Detect, as well as CAN,
DSPI and GPIOs on any board based on LX2160 SoC.
Background:
The LX2160 SoC is configured at power-on from RCW (Reset
Configuration Word) typically located in the first 4k of boot media.
This blob configures various clock rates and pin functions.
The pinmux for i2c specifically is part of configuration words RCWSR12,
RCWSR13 and RCWSR14 size 32 bit each.
These values are accessible at read-only addresses 0x01e0012c following.
For runtime (re-)configuration the SoC has a dynamic configuration area
where alternative settings can be applied. The counterparts of
RCWSR[12-14] can be overridden at 0x70010012c following.
The commit in question used this area to switch i2c pins between i2c and
gpio function at runtime using the pinctrl-single driver - which reads a
32-bit value, makes particular changes by bitmask and writes back the
new value.
SolidRun have observed that if the dynamic configuration is read first
(before a write), it reads as zero regardless the initial values set by
RCW. After the first write consecutive reads reflect the written value.
Because multiple pins are configured from a single 32-bit value, this
causes unintentional change of all bits (except those for i2c) being set
to zero when the pinctrl driver applies the first configuration.
See below a short list of which functions RCWSR12 alone controls:
LX2162-CF RCWSR12: 0b0000100000000000 0000000000000110

RESERVED             XX|||   |||   || |   |||   |||    :
On LX2162A Clearfog the initial (ant intended) value is 0x08000006 -
enabling card-detect on IIC2_PMUX and some LEDs on SDHC1_DIR_PMUX.
Everything else is intentional zero (enabling I2C & XSPI).
By reading zero from dynamic configuration area, the commit in question
changes IIC2_PMUX to value 0 (I2C function), and SDHC1_DIR_PMUX to 0
(SDHC data direction function) - breaking card-detect and led gpios.
This issue should affect any board based on LX2160 SoC that is using the
same or earlier versions of NXP bootloader as SolidRun have tested, in
particular: LSDK-21.08 and LS-5.15.71-2.2.0.
Whether NXP added some extra initialisation in the bootloader on later
releases was not investigated. However bootloader upgrade should not be
necessary to run a newer Linux kernel.
To work around this issue it is possible to explicitly define ALL pins
controlled by any 32-bit value so that gradually after processing all
pinctrl nodes the correct value is reached on all bits.
This is a large task that should be done carefully on a per-board basis
and not globally through the SoC dtsi.
Therefore the commit in question is reverted.
