Change in v2:
- move the change made to document to the front
- change mediatek,tune-step dts property type to enum for better scalability

Axe Yang (2):
  dt-bindings: mmc: mtk-sd: add tuning steps related property
  mmc: mediatek: extend number of tuning steps

Hi Angelo,

That is a good question. The benefit of preserving 32 steps tuning is
that it can save time in certain scenarios. 

On some platforms, when the delay selected through 64 steps tuning is
very close to that chosen through 32 steps, we can reduce the tuning
step from 64 to 32. This can save time sending the tuning block
commands. 

Thus using 32 steps tuning can save kernel boot up time.

Another case where time can be saved is when accessing the RPMB
partition of eMMC. Each time switch to RPMB partition, there is a
retune action, causing a certain drop in performance. If we are certain
that the results of 32 steps tuning are usable and we use it, this can
in a sense also guarantee performance when accessing the RPMB
partition.

Regards,
Axe

Luckily, I have a platform at hand that can be used for experiments/
Below are the results from testing on this platform:

[    2.431993][T1200180] kworker/2:21: mtk-msdc bootdevice:
[name:mtk_sd&]Start tuning
[    2.434950][T1200180] kworker/2:21: mtk-msdc bootdevice:
[name:mtk_sd&]Tuning finished
[    2.435957][T1200180] kworker/2:21: mtk-msdc bootdevice:
[name:mtk_sd&]phase: [map:00000000ffffffc0] [maxlen:26] [final:19]
[    2.462375][T1200180] kworker/2:21: [name:mmc_core&]mmc0: new HS400
MMC card at address 0001
...
[    2.519863][T1300069] kworker/3:1: mtk-msdc 11250000.mmc:
[name:mtk_sd&]Start tuning
[    2.526271][T1300069] kworker/3:1: mtk-msdc 11250000.mmc:
[name:mtk_sd&]Tuning finished
[    2.527288][T1300069] kworker/3:1: mtk-msdc 11250000.mmc:
[name:mtk_sd&]phase: [map:ffffffffffff003f] [maxlen:48] [final:40]
[    2.532269][T1300069] kworker/3:1: [name:mmc_core&]mmc2: new ultra
high speed SDR104 SDIO card at address 0001

As the kernel log indicates, it took 3 ms for eMMC to tune 32 steps,
while it took about 7 ms for SDIO to tune 64 steps. I have to admit,
when it comes to saving boot up time, the benefits of reducing step
form 64 to 32 are quite minimal. Just as you said, especially when
async probe is enabled.

eMMC could also potentially have CRC issue if only tune 32-steps,
albeit with a lower likelihood. The precondition for using 32-steps
tuning is that it could provide roughly the same valid results as using
64-steps tuning. So taking everything into account, controlling the
tuning step as needed through the use of dts property seems to be a
more flixible approach.

That's great to know, and it's *truly* nice information that you can
put into the commit message, as this completes the analysis of this
commit.

Can you mention that in the commit message for v4 of this commit?

"As per measurements taken on MT(xxxx), the tuning phase will take:
  eMMC - 32 steps: ~3ms
         64 steps: xxxx
  SDIO - 32 steps: xxxx
         64 steps: ~7ms

...but while this won't prolong boot times by any meaningful amount
of time, for eMMC, it should still be preferred to use 32 steps tuning
because otherwise we lose performance for RPMB I//O, which requires
re-tuning for each access.

Yes but since the only performance concern is about eMMC RPMB access,
we could at least make this 64 steps as *default* for SD/SDIO, and
32 steps as default for eMMC.
Device tree would be an override of those default values.

Can we set 64 as default for SD/SDIO, 32 as default for eMMC, and then use
the device tree to override those defaults?

Cheers,
Angelo

OK, I will make SD/SDIO default to use 64 steps tuning .
