Add a new fsl,sdio-async-interrupt-enabled binding for sdio devices
which enable the async interrupt function. When get this property,
driver will avoid to use DAT[1] for hardware auto tuning check.

We already have a common mmc property, "cap-sdio-irq", that tells
whether the controller supports SDIO irqs (which is delivered on
DAT1).

Can't you use this instead?

Hi Ulf,

Thanks for your quick reply!

According to our WiFi team reply, the sdio-irq has two types. Sync interrupt and Async interrupt.
When WiFi send out the interrupt signal during the interrupt period, if it sync with clock pad(just as
when send out data), then this is sync interrupt. When this interrupt not sync with clock, it is async
interrupt. Async interrupt has a better overall performance than sync interrupt.

Logically, auto tuning circuit should only take care of the data and cmd line, and ignore interrupt signal.
But unfortunately current i.mx-usdhc IP do not ignore interrupt signal. So it detect the interrupt signal,
and take this signal as a data signal, and adjust the delay cell accordingly. For sync interrupt, due to it
sync with clock, so no affect, but for async interrupt, it will involve wrong delay cell change randomly.

I involve a new property here, because in sdhci.c, we default use this "cap-sdio-irq" for all sdio/sd/mmc.
I need one property which can use only for sdio device, and only when sdio device enable async-interrupt.

Best Regards
Haibo Chen

The async interrupt is what we refer to as SDIO irqs, which is being
delivered on DAT1.

Okay.

I guess it's the similar variant of the controller for all slots then.

It can be debated whether the proper thing is to set "cap-sdio-irq"
only for the SDIO card slot. I think so, (and it's already being used
like that) if there is an embedded SDIO card attached, because
cap-sdio-irq would not make sense otherwise.

If you really need a new DT property (let's discuss that more in patch
4/6), I suggest you add something along the lines of a
"broken-auto-tuning" DT property instead, because that is in principle
what this should be about, isn't it?

Kind regards
Uffe
