Wouldn't it be a better idea to increase the delay between

gpiod_set_value_cansleep(priv->reset, 0) and
gpiod_set_value_cansleep(priv->reset, 1) instead of disabling the LED
controller and delaying before reset?

I've done some additional tests to see what the difference would be
between increasing the reset hold period vs. disabling the LEDs then
sleeping before reset.


I wanted to know:

When an active link is present on Port 3 at boot, what are the
minimum, maximum and average periods between ESW_P3_LED_0
going low and the signal inversion that seems to co-incide with
reset_control_deassert() for each approach?


I created two patches:

WITH INCREASED RESET DELAY

As I submitted a patch that added an intended 1000 - 1100 usec delay
before reset, I thought it would be fair to increase the reset hold
period by the same value.

DISABLE LEDS BEFORE RESET

Reset hold period unchanged from the intended 1000 - 1100 usec.

I ran 20 tests per patch, applied exclusively. 40 tests in total.

Every test resulted in a 40MHz HT_XTAL_FSEL, but after seeing 70 usec
and 80 usec periods I wondered how many more tests it may take before
an 25MHz HT_XTAL_FSEL appears.

I was also surprised by the 17920 usec and 17665 usec periods listed
under the DISABLED LEDS BEFORE RESET column. Nothing unusual seemed
to be happening, at least as far as the kernel message output was
concerned.

What do you make of these results?

What I see is setting ESW_P3_LED_0 low via reset assertion is much more
efficient than doing so by setting the LED controller off. So I'd prefer
increasing the delay between assertion and reassertion. For example, the
Realtek DSA subdriver has a much more generous delay. 25ms after reset
assertion [1].

Looking at your results, 2000 - 2200 usec delay still seems too close, so
let's agree on an amount that will ensure that boards in any circumstances
will have these pins back to the bootstrapping configuration before reset
deassertion. What about 5000 - 5100 usec?

Looks reasonable to me.

I had messed up the Median/Average calculation with the data
I had pasted earlier after copying and pasting formulas without
double checking how they had been affected.

So here's the table again, now with the 5000 - 5100 usec test
run tacked on for easier comparison:
