      irqchip: irq-imx-gpcv2: Add workaround for i.MX8MQ ERR11171 · 24aa2c09
      Abel Vesa authored and Martin Kepplinger's avatar Martin Kepplinger committed
      i.MX8MQ is missing the wake_request signals from GIC to GPCv2. This indirectly
      breaks cpuidle support due to inability to wake target cores on IPIs.
      
      Here is the link to the errata (see e11171):
      
      https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/errata/IMX8MDQLQ_0N14W.pdf
      
      
      
      Now, in order to fix this, we can trigger IRQ 32 (hwirq 0) to all the cores by
      setting 12th bit in IOMUX_GPR1 register. In order to control the target cores
      only, that is, not waking up all the cores every time, we can unmask/mask the
      IRQ 32 in the first GPC IMR register. So basically we can leave the IOMUX_GPR1
      12th bit always set and just play with the masking and unmasking the IRO 32 for
      each independent core.
      
      Since EL3 is the one that deals with powering down/up the cores, and since the
      cores wake up in EL3, EL3 should be the one to control the IMRs in this case.
      This implies we need to get into EL3 on every IPI to do the unmasking, leaving
      the masking to be done on the power-up sequence by the core itself.
      
      In order to be able to get into EL3 on each IPI, we 'hijack' the registered smp
      cross call handler, in this case the gic_raise_softirq which is registered by
      the irq-gic-v3 driver and register our own handler instead. This new handler is
      basically a wrapper over the hijacked handler plus the call into EL3.
      
      To get into EL3, we use a custom vendor SIP id added just for this purpose.
      
      All of this is conditional for i.MX8MQ only.
