sdhci: runtime suspend/resume on card insert/removal

Hi,

During my testing of SDHCI-PXAV3 driver on Marvell's pxa1928
based platform, I observed that runtime PM suspend/resume is having
issues with card insertion and removal.

Let me try to explain it using execution sequence -

During boot:

MMC SD card gets detected as expected.

[    2.431012] mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address 1234
[    2.437235] mmcblk1: mmc1:1234 SA04G 3.63 GiB
[    2.444841]  mmcblk1: p1


Now after coming to the linux prompt, if card removal event occurs
then the call sequence is -

  sdhci_irq() -->
   -> sdhci_thread_irq(): host->thread_isr - 0x80
      -> sdhci_card_event()
      -> mmc_detect_change()
         --> _mmc_detect_change()
             --->  mmc_sd_detect()
                   mmc_sd_remove()
                   mmc_remove_card()
                   mmc_bus_remove()
                   mmc_power_off()
                   mmc_set_initial_state()
                   sdhci_set_ios()
                   ...
        sdhci_pxav3_runtime_suspend()
        sdhci_runtime_suspend_host()


Till here everything looks perfect :) (if I got it right)

Now on card insertion again, the expectation is, runtime resume should
get called as part of interrupt trigger from the SDHCI controller on
card insertion.

But what I am observing here is, no interrupt is generated, as it is
not enabled at all. And the reason being sdhci_runtime_suspend_host()


int sdhci_runtime_suspend_host(struct sdhci_host *host)
{
     ....
     spin_lock_irqsave(&host->lock, flags);
     host->ier &= SDHCI_INT_CARD_INT;
     sdhci_writel(host, host->ier, SDHCI_INT_ENABLE);
     sdhci_writel(host, host->ier, SDHCI_SIGNAL_ENABLE);
     spin_unlock_irqrestore(&host->lock, flags);
     ...
}


In my case, I see SDHCI_INT_CARD_INT is not ON and with above step
we are not ensuring that it is enabled either.
Also we are not enabling card insertion and removal interrupts.

I have done following change to the code -

diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c
index 418f381..3129292 100644
--- a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c
+++ b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c
@@ -2783,9 +2783,12 @@ int sdhci_runtime_suspend_host(struct sdhci_host 
*host)
         mmc_retune_needed(host->mmc);

         spin_lock_irqsave(&host->lock, flags);
-       host->ier &= SDHCI_INT_CARD_INT;
+
+       host->flags |= SDHCI_SDIO_IRQ_ENABLED;
+       host->ier |= SDHCI_INT_CARD_INT;
         sdhci_writel(host, host->ier, SDHCI_INT_ENABLE);
         sdhci_writel(host, host->ier, SDHCI_SIGNAL_ENABLE);
+
         spin_unlock_irqrestore(&host->lock, flags);

         synchronize_hardirq(host->irq);



And things started working as expected.
The execution sequence of irq and sdhci_runtime_resume
both looks ok to me.

Card insertion event =

  sdhci_irq() -->
   -> sdhci_thread_irq: host->thread_isr - 40
      --> sdhci_card_event()
      -->  mmc_detect_change()
           ---> _mmc_detect_change()
       ...
  -> sdhci_pxav3_runtime_resume()
     --> sdhci_do_set_ios:1438



I see card getting enumerated as expected -

[   15.116098] mmc1: mmc_rescan_try_freq: trying to init card at 400000 Hz
[   15.356473] mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address 1234
[   15.363962] mmcblk1: mmc1:1234 SA04G 3.63 GiB
[   15.371043] sdhci_thread_irq:2642 host->thread_isr - 100
[   15.376492]  mmcblk1: p1


I believe (based on my understanding) the change I have done is right.
I am not sure how other platforms using sdhci.c working so far,
probably no runtime_pm support? Not sure though

Please let me know if I am missing something here.
And not, and everyone is ok with this, I will submit the patch fixing
this issue.


Thanks,
Vaibhav
