Radxa ROCK 5T: SD card startup failure

Radxa ROCK 5T: SD card startup failure

[Michael Tretter]

Hi,

since Commit a3bf6c16f77d ("dts: update to v6.19-rc1"), barebox fails to
initialize the SD card on my Radxa ROCK T5 board.

I tracked the failure down to a change of the pinctrl setting for the
card detect pin to RK_FUNC_GPIO (see sdmmc_det_pin). If I change the
pinctrl mux back to 1, the SD card is initialized correctly.

If the error happens, the dw_mmc driver reports a DATA ERROR on CMD13
with BIT(13) set (DWMCI_INTMSK_SBE) and runs into a timeout afterward:

	WARNING: mmc1: Card's startup fails with -110

It seems to me that the SD host controller fails to correctly initialize
if the card detect it directly muxed as GPIO instead of muxing it to the
SD host controller. At least that's what I understand from
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rockchip/4920950.GXAFRqVoOG@diego/.

May there be some configuration in the SD host controller that needs to
be changed to ignore the card detect?

The driver didn't clear the card-detect bit in DWMCI_RINTSTS, which may
be the culprit.

Could you please give the potential fix at [1] a test?

If this doesn't resolve the issue, we will have to do revert the DT
change in arch/arm/dts before v2026.02.0.
