Gah, turns out it was a problem with my mail client, which violates RFC4155 and
writes an mbox with CRLF. Awesome.

I grabbed the mbox from patchwork and it was fine. Sorry for the noise.

Separately, I slept on this and think there's a remaining issue. I'll outline
it below in context.

Looking back at v2 what you had was correct for the single-bit field case (if
'val == 0' was false we went and wrote the set bit to HW_STRAP1), and it seems
I didn't think through my suggestion enough to catch the problem I created.

Essentially we should drop the 'else' above and always perform the
regmap_update_bits() HW_STRAP1 because it is write-1-set. Otherwise we can
only clear bits in the strapping register on the AST2500 and not set them.
However, given the duplication pointed out below, I've suggested a further
rearrangement.

I note that we're doing the same regmap_update_bits() operation twice in two
separate branches of the code. How about this (note: it's a sketch, and is
untested)?

(1)	if (desc->ip == ASPEED_IP_SCU && desc->reg == HW_STRAP1) {
		unsigned int rev_id;

(2)		ret = regmap_read(maps[ASPEED_IP_SCU], HW_REVISION_ID, &rev_id);
		if (ret < 0)
			return ret;

(3)		if (((rev_id >> 24) == 0x04) {
(4)			if (~val & desc->mask) {
(5)				ret = regmap_write(maps[desc->ip],
						   HW_REVISION_ID,
						   (~val & desc->mask));
				if (ret < 0)
					return ret;
			}
		}
	}

(6)	ret = regmap_update_bits(maps[desc->ip], desc->reg, desc->mask, val);

So we have a few cases we need to deal with, AST2500 or not, writing to
HW_STRAP1 or not, and assuming AST2500/HW_STRAP1, setting and clearing bits. So:

A. AST25xx, only clearing bits in HW_STRAP1:
The condition at (1) ensures we only perform (2) if we need to, which because
we're modifying HW_STRAP1 state on an AST25xx we do. Thus (3) evaluates true
as does (4) due to clearing bits, and we perform a straight regmap_write() at
(5) due to W1C behaviour. We take a performance penalty by always writing
HW_STRAP1 at (6) which has no effect as we're only clearing bits. HW_STRAP1 is
modified as desired.

B. AST25xx, only setting bits in HW_STRAP1:
We pass the conditions at (1) and (3), however (4) evaluates false as we're
only setting bits. Thus we reach (6), which modifies HW_STRAP1 as desired.

C. AST25xx, both setting and clearing bits in HW_STRAP1 (e.g. multi-bit field):
We pass the conditions at (1), (3) and (4), issue (5) to clear the bits then
hit (6) to write the set bits. HW_STRAP1 is modified as desired.

D. AST25xx, modifying non-HW_STRAP1 registers:
The condition at (1) fails, we jump straight to (6) and update the register.

E. AST24xx, clearing bits in HW_STRAP1:
F. AST24xx, setting bits in HW_STRAP1:
G. AST24xx, setting and clearing bits in HW_STRAP1:
We pass the condition at (1), but the value read at (2) gives a failure at (3).
We jump to (6) and update HW_STRAP1.

H. AST24xx, modifying non-HW_STRAP1 registers:
The condition at (1) fails, we jump straight to (6) and update the register

I don't think I've missed any cases there. Can you shoot holes in it? If not I
think that's the approach we should take, despite the redundant write for case
A. Otherwise the code gets messy.

Sorry that this has turned a small problem into such an exercise. I Hope I
haven't extinguished your drive to get a fix integrated :/ Apologies again for
the oversight in my comment on v2.

Cheers,

Andrew
