[PATCH v1] riscv: dts: thead: Fix TH1520 emmc and shdci clock rate
Posted by bigunclemax@gmail.com 1 year ago 
From: Maksim Kiselev <bigunclemax@gmail.com>

In accordance with LicheePi 4A BSP the clock that comes to emmc/sdhci
is 198Mhz.

But changing from fixed-clock to CLK_EMMC_SDIO leads to increasing input
clock from 198Mhz to 792Mhz. Because the CLK_EMMC_SDIO is actually 792Mhz.

Therefore calculation of output SDCLK is incorrect now.
The mmc driver sets the divisor to 4 times larger than it should be
and emmc/sd works 4 times slower.

This can be confirmed with fio test:
Sequential read of emmc with fixed 198Mz clock:
READ: bw=289MiB/s (303MB/s)

Sequential read with CLK_EMMC_SDIO clock:
READ: bw=82.6MiB/s (86.6MB/s)

Let's fix this issue by providing fixed-factor-clock that divides
CLK_EMMC_SDIO by 4 for emmc/sd nodes.

Thanks for finding this bug!

However, this feels like a work-around for a bug in the clock driver, and even
if there is a fixed factor divider somewhere this should probably be modelled
by the clock driver. Did you look into the documentation[1] and try to figure
out where eMMC clock comes from and where the /4 is missing?

There is also a vendor tree somewhere with a much more complete clock driver.
Drew do you remember where it is? Maybe it's worth looking at how that driver
models the eMMC clocks.

Sorry for the delay, I'm travelling until tomorrow.

Maksim, thanks for finding this issue and sending a patch.

That is a good point about checking the thead vendor kernel. I normally
look at revy's thead-kernel repo [1] which is 5.10. revy also has a 6.6
lts branch in th1520-linux-kernel [2].

https://github.com/revyos/thead-kernel/tree/lpi4a/drivers/clk/thead


Looking at line 454 in drivers/clk/thead/clk-light-fm.c [3]:

  clks[EMMC_SDIO_REF_CLK] =
  thead_light_clk_fixed_factor("emmc_sdio_ref_clk",
                               "video_pll_foutpostdiv", 1, 4)
                               /* Note: base clk is div 4 to 198M*/

Which derives from line 373:

  clks[VIDEO_PLL_FOUTPOSTDIV] =
  thead_clk_fixed("video_pll_foutpostdiv", 792000000);

Thanks,
Drew

Hi Emil, Drew

> Did you look into the documentation

Yes, I looked into th1520 user manual but found only
mention of emmc sdio ref clk which is 792Mhz.

> That is a good point about checking the thead vendor kernel.

Drew, thanks for the suggestion to look at Revy's BSP.
I'll make a patch for the clk controller in v2.

Best wishes,
Maksim
