In some variants, the data timer starts and decrements
when the DPSM enters in Wait_R or Busy state
(while data transfer or MMC_RSP_BUSY), and generates a
data timeout error if the counter reach 0.

-Define max_busy_timeout (in ms) according to clock.
-Set data timer register if the command has rsp_busy flag.
 If busy_timeout is not defined by framework, the busy
 length after Data Burst is defined as 1 second
 (refer: 4.6.2.2 Write of sd specification part1 v6-0).
-Add MCI_DATATIMEOUT error management in mmci_cmd_irq.

I don't quite follow here, sorry. Can you please try to elaborate on
the use case(s) more exactly?

For example, what happens when a data transfer has just finished (for
example when MCI_DATAEND has been received) and we are going to send a
CMD12 to stop it? In this case the CMD12 has the MMC_RSP_BUSY flag
set.

Another example is the CMD5, which has no data with it.

One second is not sufficient for all operations, like ERASE for
example. However, I understand that you want to pick some value, as a
safety. I guess that's fine.

I am thinking that if the command has the MMC_RSP_BUSY flag set, the
core should really provide a busy timeout for it. That said, maybe the
host driver should splat a WARN in case there is not busy timeout
specified.

Suppose this is a CMD12 command, having the MMC_RSP_BUSY flag set. The
command would then be sent to stop the transmission and then
host->mrq->data would also be set.

If I recall earlier what you stated about the new sdmmc variant, the
CMD12 is needed to exit the DPSM. Hence don't you need to re-program a
new value for the MMCIDATATIMER register for this scenario?

Any problems with putting the above on one line?

This is writing zero to MMCIDATATIMER in case the MMC_RSP_BUSY isn't
set, is that on purpose?

You might as well move the initial assignment of err_msk to the its
declaration above.

It looks like the max busy timeout is depending on the current picked
clock rate, right?

In such case, perhaps it's better to update mmc->max_busy_timeout as
part of the ->set_ios() callback, as it's from there the clock rate
gets updated. Or what do you think?

example with cmd25 (write multi block)
mmci_request
     - mmci_start_data
	set MMCIDATATIMER, MMCIDATALENGTH, MMCIMASK0
     - mmci_start_command:
	set MMCIARGUMENT, MMCICOMMAND (cmd25)

mmci_irq:
     - irq MCI_CMDRESPEND
     - irq MCI_DATAEND
     - send cmd12 => mmci_start_command(host->stop_abort or data->stop)
     these cmds have flag rsp_busy and no data associate
     host->cmd = cmd (host->stop_abort or data->stop) for next irq

mmci_irq:
     - irq MCI_CMDRESPEND
     - irq BUSYD0END

Today, I just see a busy_timeout not defined on write request.
On erase request, the timeout is defined in function mmc_do_erase.
In core, there are several paths to done a write request, and I not
be sure to fix all. For safety, I preferred fix with the max value of
write request.

Sorry, it's a mistake introduce by v5.
I would keep the clear of datatimer when is not needed
(no data & no rsp busy, see below). But on cmd23 (set_block_count) with 
datactrl_first variant property the datatimer should be protected.

To simplify and fix the code, I will remove the clear of datatimer
when there is no data & no rsp busy.

- if (host->variant->busy_timeout && !host->mrq->data) {
+ if (host->variant->busy_timeout && !cmd->flags & MMC_RSP_BUSY) {
+         ....
+         writel_relaxed(clks, host->base + MMCIDATATIMER);
+ }

No, it was just to not exceed 80 characters.

It was to clear the datatimer when the command has
no data & no rsp_busy. This allowed to look if the datatimer
was used and not correctly set with the right value (with datatimeout).

Like said above, I will remove this and set datatimer only
on rsp_busy flag.
