From 751508ab019e0612f715ea481c550d73aa240112 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Stuge Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:17:09 +0100 Subject: northbridge/intel/i945: CHECK_SLFRCS_ON_RESUME Kconfig option MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Originally brought up by Sven Schnelle in March 2011 http://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/2801/ http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2011-March/064277.html On some mainboards it may be neccessary to reset early during resume from S3 if the SLFRCS register indicates that a memory channel is not guaranteed to be in self-refresh. On other mainboards, such as Lenovo X60 and T60, the check always creates false positives, effectively making it impossible to resume. The SLFRCS register is documented on page 197 of Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family Datasheet Document Number: 309219-006 which is publically available, and the register indicates if a memory channel is guaranteed to be in self-refresh mode (if bit = 1), or that a memory channel *may or may not be* in self-refresh mode (if bit = 0). The register can thus only be used to positively learn that memory is in self-refresh. It is not known for sure that memory is *not* in self-refresh. The register is reset by the PWROK signal, which *should* go low during S3, and go high again when resuming, so it is unsurprising that SLFRCS has already been cleared when we read the register. Sven's measurements of the CKE signal on a ThinkPad shows that memory remains in self-refresh indefinitely, until coreboot re-initializes the memory controller, even when SLFRCS bits were = 0. Boards which require a warm reset when SLFRCS bits are cleared must now explicitly enable the check in the mainboard Kconfig file. This commit selects the new option in all existing i945 mainboards. A follow-up commit will remove the option for ThinkPads.
