Subject: [PATCH v2] wifi: wilc1000: revert reset line logic flip
Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2024 14:22:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240217-wilc_1000_reset_line-v2-1-b216f433d7d5@bootlin.com> (raw)
This reverts commit fcf690b0b47494df51d214db5c5a714a400b0257.
When using a wilc1000 chip over a spi bus, users can optionally define a
reset gpio and a chip enable gpio. The reset line of wilc1000 is active
low, so to hold the chip in reset, a low (physical) value must be applied.
The corresponding device tree binding documentation was introduced by
commit f31ee3c0a555 ("wilc1000: Document enable-gpios and reset-gpios
properties") and correctly indicates that the reset line is an active-low
signal. The corresponding driver part, brought by commit ec031ac4792c
("wilc1000: Add reset/enable GPIO support to SPI driver") was applying the
correct logic. But commit fcf690b0b474 ("wifi: wilc1000: use correct
sequence of RESET for chip Power-UP/Down") eventually flipped this logic
and started misusing the gpiod APIs, applying an inverted logic when
powering up/down the chip (for example, setting the reset line to a logic
"1" during power up, which in fact asserts the reset line when device tree
describes the reset line as GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW). As a consequence, any
platform currently using the driver in SPI mode must use a faulty reset
line description in device tree, or else chip will be maintained in reset
and will not even allow to bring up the chip.
Fix reset line usage by inverting back the gpiod APIs usage, setting the
reset line to the logic value "0" when powering the chip, and the logic
value "1" when powering off the chip.

This issue was detected because I struggled a bit to setup a WILC-over-SPI
setup, and eventually realized that it was due to chip being hold in reset.
This patch may break any downstream user having a working wilc-over-spi
setup (which then relies on a faulty device tree description). Discussions
about this possible breakage (see v1 in link below) led to a consensus in
favor of this patch.
