It was reproducible on one of our lxa-mc1 boards.

The symptom was, that the dwc2 controller was not resuming from polling
on the soft reset done bit and so ran into a timeout. (dwc2: GRSTCTL_CSFTRST(GRSTCTL_CSFTRST_DONE))

While debugging we found that the stm vendor uboot phy driver
was just adding an predefined wait of 200us after setting
the pll.

https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/u-boot/blob/v2021.10-stm32mp/drivers/phy/phy-stm32-usbphyc.c#L257

The comment for the PLL_INIT_TIME_US says that the value is based on the
possible max pll lock latency and an additional phy init delay:

  /* max 100 us for PLL lock and 100 us for PHY init */
  #define PLL_INIT_TIME_US	200

Reading the datasheet of the stm32mp1, the 100 us sure come from
tLOCK in Table 41. USB_PLL characteristics. (Page 159)

https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/stm32mp157c.pdf


In the mainline Kernel we have the set of lock monitor
bits that are actually undefined in any register specs
we read so far.

  /* STM32_USBPHYC_MONITOR bit fields */
  #define STM32_USBPHYC_MON_OUT   GENMASK(3, 0)
  #define STM32_USBPHYC_MON_SEL   GENMASK(8, 4)
  #define STM32_USBPHYC_MON_SEL_LOCKP 0x1F
  #define STM32_USBPHYC_MON_OUT_LOCKP BIT(3)

So this will bring the maximum lock delay to its real
delay.

But for the additional phy init delay, we are unsure where the 100us are
coming from. So we could not really tell if the value makes sense at
all. The assumption was to increase the delay, just to make sure that
this will solve the issue for good.

The whole issue is actually very easy to reproduce in the bootloader.
So we already mainlined this patch to the barebox bootloader.

So this patch is actually a port from the bootloader to make sure
that the kernel does not run into the issue as well.

I bet your team at st can figure out a more reasonable value for the
delay.
