Given the entire discussion in this thread, I agree that fixing this
in u-boot
is best. But I do not see reverting the u-boot patch disabling
ldo3/4
by default
as the solution. ldo3/4 are unused on most boards, so disabling them
by default
clearly is the right thing todo IMHO.
I just checked the Banana Pi, which exposes ports from bank E on its
CON1. Admittedly,
that's the "Camera Serial Interface", but that connector is
explicitly
also labelled
as supporting various GPIO pins:
http://www.bananapi.org/p/product.html
That connector is not usable unless you've got a really special cable,
also ldo3/4 are disabled in the kernel dts, so it does not matter what
u-boot
does.
On the Cubietruck, there's also CN9, exposing some GPIO ports from
bank G:
https://linux-sunxi.org/Cubietech_Cubietruck
The Cubietruck also has ldo3/4 disabled in the kernel dts.
Given that there tend to be crashes on re-enabling LDO3+LDO4 and many
boards expose affected pins (not only for CSI!): wouldn't be it be
the
best to keep them enabled?
s/Many boards/Lime 2/ and we still do not fully understand what is
going
on there, we just know that not enabling ldo3/4 at the u-boot level
causes issues, we do not know / understand why though.
U-boot supports 52 boards with an axp209 pmic, yet you only name a
select
few which need ldo3/4 according to you, and for 2 of your examples the
kernel dts says differently.
I'm not going to enable ldo3/4 by default on all boards just because
they
are needed on the Lime 2.

Hi Hans,
You are making an excellent point. I will submit patches for the lime* boards
as proposed in your earlier mail.
Just to ask for some clarification: you are saying the regulators are disabled
in the kernel dts files.
I looked at the cubietruck dts files and the regulators are not mentioned in
there. If they are not mentioned, are they turned off or do they remain in
their default state, e.g the way that u-boot left them?
The kernel will turn off any unused regulators in a late_init call (just
before calling /sbin/init), so not listed regulators will get turned off.
Stepping back from kernel/u-boot issues, would it make sense to also turn on
the regulators for the cubietruck? Perhaps in u-boot and the kernel?
Have you checked the schematics to see how portG is powered on the CubieTruck?
It would only make sense to turn on ldo3 or ldo4 if it is actually used
to power an exposed port.
Regards,
Hans
