Revision d5ea019f8a381f88545bb26993b62ec24a2796b7 authored by Rafał Miłecki on 27 July 2018, 11:13:39 UTC, committed by Paul Burton on 27 July 2018, 17:07:32 UTC
This reverts commit 2a027b47dba6 ("MIPS: BCM47XX: Enable 74K Core ExternalSync for PCIe erratum"). Enabling ExternalSync caused a regression for BCM4718A1 (used e.g. in Netgear E3000 and ASUS RT-N16): it simply hangs during PCIe initialization. It's likely that BCM4717A1 is also affected. I didn't notice that earlier as the only BCM47XX devices with PCIe I own are: 1) BCM4706 with 2 x 14e4:4331 2) BCM4706 with 14e4:4360 and 14e4:4331 it appears that BCM4706 is unaffected. While BCM5300X-ES300-RDS.pdf seems to document that erratum and its workarounds (according to quotes provided by Tokunori) it seems not even Broadcom follows them. According to the provided info Broadcom should define CONF7_ES in their SDK's mipsinc.h and implement workaround in the si_mips_init(). Checking both didn't reveal such code. It *could* mean Broadcom also had some problems with the given workaround.
