Each of these contains four bits, one for +each lane in the bank. SerDes Erratum SERDES8 requires that SRDS_LPD_B2 and +SRDS_LPD_B3 be set to 0b1111. This forces banks two and three to be powered +down at reset. + +To re-enable these banks in U-Boot, two hwconfig are available: +"fsl_srds_lpd_b2" and "fsl_srds_lpd_b3". The value passed via fsl_srds_lpd_b2 +is written into SRDS_LPD_B2, and the value passed via fsl_srds_lpd_b3 is into +SRDS_LPD_B3. Each bit represents one of each bank, and a value of '1' +indicates that the lane should be powered down. + +For example, to indicate that both SerDes banks 2 and 3 are powered down, add +the following to hwconfig: + + serdes:fsl_srds_lpd_b2=0xf,fsl_srds_lpd_b3=0xf + +The "0xf" is a mask that corresponds to the 4 lanes A-D. The most significant +bit corresponds to lane A. To indicate that just lane A of bank 3 is to be +powered down, use: + + serdes:fsl_srds_lpd_b3=8 + +These options should be specified only if U-Boot does not automatically power +on the correct lanes. |
