      ARM: dts: Fix omap5 PMIC control lines for RTC writes · af756bbc
      Tony Lindgren authored
      The palmas PMIC has two control lines that need to be muxed properly
      for things to work. The sys_nirq pin is used for interrupts, and msecure
      pin is used for enabling writes to some PMIC registers.
      
      Without these pins configured properly things can fail in mysterious
      ways. For example, we can't update the RTC registers on palmas PMIC
      unless the msecure pin is configured. And this is probably the reason
      why we had RTC missing from the omap5 dts file.
      
      According to "OMAP5430 ES2.0 Data Manual [Public] VErsion A (Rev. F)"
      swps052f.pdf, mux mode 1 is for sys_drm_msecure so in theory there's
      should be no need to configure it as a GPIO pin.
      
      However, it seems there are some reliability issues using the msecure
      mux mode. And the TI trees configure the msecure pin as GPIO out high
      instead.
      
      As the PMIC only cares that the msecure line is high to allow access
      to the RTC registers, let's use a GPIO hog as suggested by Nishanth
      Menon <nm@ti.com>. Also the use of the internal pull was considered
      but supposedly that may not be capable of keeping the line high in
      a noisy environment.
      
      If we ever see high security omap5 products in the mainline tree,
      those need to skip the msecure pin muxing and ignore setting the GPIO
      hog. Chances are the related pin mux registers are locked in that case
      and the msecure pin is managed by whatever software may be running in
      the ARM TrustZone.
      
      Who knows what the original intention of the msecure pin was. Maybe
      it was supposed to prevent the system time to be set back for some
      game demo modes to time out? Anyways, it seems that later PMICs like
      tps659037 have recycled this pin for "powerhold" and devices like
      beagle-x15 do not need changes to the msecure pin configuration.
      
      To avoid further confusion with TWL variant PMICs, beagle-x15 does
      not have a back-up battery for RTC palmas. Instead the mcp79410 RTC
      is used with rtc-ds1307 driver. There is a "powerhold" jumper j5
      holes near the palmas PMIC, and shorting it seems to power up
      beagle-x15 automatically. It is unknown if it also has other side
      effects to the beagle-x15 power up sequence.

      The reason is that start_shepherd_timer schedules the shepherd work item
      which uses vmstat_wq (vmstat_shepherd) before setup_vmstat allocates
      that workqueue so if the further initialization takes more than HZ we
      might end up scheduling on a NULL vmstat_wq.  This is really unlikely
      but not impossible.
