> Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ARM: socfpga: Purge pending transactions upon
> enabling bridges on Gen5
> 
> On Gen5, when the FPGA is loaded and there was some prior interaction
> between the HPS and the FPGA via bridges (e.g. Linux was running and using
> some of the IPs in the FPGA) followed by warm reset, it has been observed
> that there might be outstanding unfinished transactions. This leads to an
> obscure misbehavior of the bridge.
> 
> When the bridge is enabled again in U-Boot and there are outstanding
> transactions, a read from within the bridge address range would return a
> result of the previous read instead. Example:
> => bridge enable ; md 0xff200000 1
> ff200000: 1234abcd
> => bridge enable ; md 0xff200010 1
> ff200010: 5678dcba <------- this is in fact a value which is stored in
>                             a memory at 0xff200000 => bridge enable ; md 
> 0xff200000 1
> ff200000: 90effe09 <------- this is in fact a value which is stored in
>                             a memory at 0xff200010 and so it continues. 
> Issuing a write
> does lock the system up completely.
> 
> This patch opens the FPGA bridges in 'bridge enable' command, the tears
> them down again, and then opens them again. This allows these outstanding
> transactions to complete and makes this misbehavior go away.
> 
> However, it is not entirely clear whether this is the correct solution.
