[RFT PATCH 0/2] mmc: meson-gx: improve MMC reliabilty

[Jerome Brunet]

Amlogic MMC on the GX (and later) SoCs has been problematic for years,
especially with u-boot.

Linux has been fairly stable for a few years. It is using a fixed phase
setting with Core = 180, Tx = 0 and Rx = 0 (the latter cannot be set
starting from the v3 MMC IPs)

Still the results were not good with those settings with u-boot, on some
sm1 based platforms. U-boot then started using a 270 core phase for sm1
only.  This worked for most sm1 platforms but problems persist on others.

The proposal with this patchset is to use 270 for the ID phase, 180
otherwise.  This works well on the platforms I have tested (Libretech's
boards and VIM3L)

It would be great if others could test this and report whether this work
for them or not.

If the results are good, this might be ported to Linux as well (... but the
situation is less critical there)

  mmc: meson-gx: set 270 core phase during the identification
