the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 3914a316c3d3ab1ba45fe33394f37aaefdc62d61 Author: Jens Rottmann JRottmann@LiPPERTembedded.de Date: Tue Feb 19 15:01:06 2013 +0100
AMD SB800: don't switch clock from 14 to 48 MHz for smscsuperio
The power up default for the 14M_25M_48M_OSC switchable clock output ball of the SB800 chipset is 14 MHz. sb800/bootblock.c changes this to 48 MHz, which is the correct value for almost all SIOs. However, not for 'smscsuperio' (SMSC SCH311x), which needs the original 14 MHz and is not configurable for other clock speeds. A wrong SIO clock supply results in funny RS232 output (wrong bit speed) and non-working PS/2.
We could switch back to 14 MHz in the mainboard's romstage.c, but then the clock frequency would change twice. The resulting short 48 MHz burst causes a handful of rubbish characters on RS232 on every boot until the SIO clock has stabilized again.
This patch skips the SB800 clock switch if the SIO Kconfig requests 14 MHz. This does not affect any boards currently in the repository (yet).
