This series enables complete SD card support for the Spacemit K1-based
OrangePi RV2 board, including UHS (Ultra High Speed) modes for
high-performance SD card operation.
Background
The Spacemit K1 SoC includes an SDHCI controller capable of supporting
SD cards up to UHS-I speeds (SDR104 at 208MHz). However, mainline
currently lacks basic SD controller configuration, SDHCI driver
enhancements for voltage switching and tuning, and power management
infrastructure.
Implementation
The series enables SD card support through coordinated layers:
- Hardware infrastructure (patches 1-2): Device tree bindings for voltage
switching hardware and essential clock infrastructure.
- SDHCI driver enhancements (patches 3-7): Regulator framework
integration, pinctrl state switching for voltage domains, AIB register
programming, and comprehensive SDR tuning support for reliable UHS
operation.
- SoC and board integration (patches 8-10): Complete K1 SoC controller
definitions, PMIC power infrastructure, and OrangePi RV2 board enablement
with full UHS support.
This transforms the OrangePi RV2 from having no SD card support to full
UHS-I capability, enabling high-performance storage up to 208MHz.

Changes in v5:
- Document optional pinctrl-names property supporting "default" and
"state_uhs" pinctrl states for coordinating pin configuration changes
during UHS-I voltage switching.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260323-orangepi-sd-card-uhs-v4-0-567c9775fd0e@gmail.com
Changes in v4:
- Revert to start_signal_voltage_switch() approach for bidirectional
voltage switching: replace voltage_switch() callback with
start_signal_voltage_switch() to properly handle both 3.3V and 1.8V
signal voltage directions.
- Fix DC input voltage specification: corrected the main power supply
from 12V to 5V to match the OrangePi RV2 board specifications. The
board uses a 5V USB-C input connector, not a 12V rail as previously
specified in the device tree.
- k1-bananapi-f3.dts: add `broken-cd` property to work around card
detection. Using `broken-cd` disables hotplug detection but keeps SD
card functionality working without additional dependencies.
- Add SD card support for Muse Pi Pro board (contributed by Trevor
Gamblin): enable SD card support with UHS-I capabilities following the
same pattern as OrangePi RV2, including dual pinctrl states, PMIC
power supplies, and card detection.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260316-orangepi-sd-card-uhs-v3-0-aefd3b7832df@gmail.com
Changes in v3:
- Rebase on mmc.git/next to resolve conflicts with "mmc: sdhci-of-k1:
add reset support" patch.
- Squash tuning infrastructure and implementation patches (3 and 4)
together to form complete functionality and avoid unused function
warnings.
- Reduce code nesting: implemented an early return sanity check in
spacemit_sdhci_voltage_switch() to reduce indentation and improve
logic flow.
- Refactor pinctrl initialization: moved pinctrl resource acquisition
and state lookup into a dedicated helper function,
spacemit_sdhci_get_pins().
- Use generic regulator node names (buck4, aldo1) instead of
device-specific aliases (sd_vmmc, sd_vqmmc) to better reflect that
these PMIC outputs serve multiple devices.
- Remove dead code handling 3.3V voltage switching from
spacemit_sdhci_voltage_switch().
- Optimize tuning algorithm to use single-pass window detection instead
of storing results in array, reducing memory usage and complexity.
- Remove unnecessary card detect check in execute_tuning() - rely on MMC
core.
- Clarify commit message to mention both SD (UHS-I) and eMMC (HS200)
tuning support.
- Add SD card support for Banana Pi BPI-F3 board with UHS-I capabilities
following the same pattern as OrangePi RV2.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260309-orangepi-sd-card-uhs-v2-0-5bb2b574df5d@gmail.com
Changes in v2:
- Removed custom AIB voltage switching code per maintainer feedback. The
existing pinctrl driver already handles AIB voltage switching
automatically via power-source property changes during UHS mode
transitions. This eliminates code duplication.
- Squashed regulator and pinctrl commits into single voltage switching
implementation.
- Moved voltage switching callback from dynamic probe assignment to
static sdhci_ops declaration. Removed redundant SDHCI core call since
the framework handles standard voltage switching automatically.
- Made clock override (SDHC_OVRRD_CLK_OEN | SDHC_FORCE_CLK_ON)
conditional for SD/SDIO cards only. This follows vendor driver pattern
of differentiating SD and eMMC card handling.
- Include no-mmc property for SD card.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260302-orangepi-sd-card-uhs-v1-0-89c219973c0c@gmail.com
