From 6de714c21a8ea315fffba6a93bbe537f4c1bf4f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 11:56:14 +0200 Subject: ARM: at91: fix hanged boot due to early rtc-interrupt Make sure the RTC-interrupts are masked at boot by adding a new helper function to be used at SOC-init. This fixes hanged boot on all AT91 SOCs with an RTC (but RM9200), for example, after a reset during an RTC-update or if an RTC-alarm goes off after shutdown (e.g. when using RTC wakeup). The RTC and RTT-peripherals are powered by backup power (VDDBU) (on all AT91 SOCs but RM9200) and are not reset on wake-up, user, watchdog or software reset. This means that their interrupts may be enabled during early boot if, for example, they where not disabled during a previous shutdown (e.g. due to a buggy driver or a non-clean shutdown such as a user reset). Furthermore, an RTC or RTT-alarm may also be active. The RTC and RTT-interrupts use the shared system-interrupt line, which is also used by the PIT, and if an interrupt occurs before a handler (e.g. RTC-driver) has been installed this leads to the system interrupt being disabled and prevents the system from booting. Note that when boot hangs due to an early RTC or RTT-interrupt, the only way to get the system to start again is to remove the backup power (e.g. battery) or to disable the interrupt manually from the bootloader. In particular, a user reset is not sufficient.
