I started working on migration to DM_MMC as you suggested. Unfortunately
I can't see how this solves the problem for Cubox-i/Hummingboard, nor in
the general case.
The imx6_logic board happens to use only usdhc1 and usdhc2 for boot, and
both are always enabled. This matches perfectly to BOOT_DEVICE_MMC{1,2},
and their corresponding DT representation.
However, the 'index' parameter in uclass_get_device() that is set
according to BOOT_DEVICE_MMC{1,2} selection has nothing to do with the
usdhcX sequence number. It simply returns the Nth probed SD/eMMC device
(see uclass_find_device()). In the case of Cubox-i/Hummingboard, usdhc1
is never used for boot, usdhc2 is always an SD card, and usdhc3 is an
optional eMMC. When booting from SD card, uclass_get_device(), returns
-ENODEV when eMMC is not available, or the eMMC device when it is
available. In both cases, boot fails.
In addition, your patch returns BOOT_DEVICE_MMC2 only for usdhc2
boot. All others return BOOT_DEVICE_MMC1. What about usdhc{3,4}?
How is all that intended to work?
Aren't other i.MX boards impacted by this commit?
Thanks,
baruch
