Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Incorrect teardown sequence in `bam_dma_remove()` causes unclocked hardware accesses, tasklet races, and unbalanced clock disables.
- [High] The IRQ handler reads hardware registers before verifying the device is active, risking a crash on spurious interrupts.

dmaengine: qcom-bam-dma: fix autosuspend cleanup during removal
This commit adds a missing pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() call in
bam_dma_remove() to properly drop the autosuspend usage count. This prevents
unbalanced usage counts if the autosuspend delay is set to a negative value.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does calling
pm_runtime_force_suspend() here break the teardown sequence?
If the device is active, pm_runtime_force_suspend() forcefully disables the
BAM hardware clock. The driver then immediately accesses hardware via
writel_relaxed() and bam_dma_terminate_all() in bam_dma_remove(), which
can trigger a synchronous bus error:
drivers/dma/qcom/bam_dma.c:bam_dma_remove() {
...
pm_runtime_force_suspend(&pdev->dev);
...
/* mask all interrupts for this execution environment */
writel_relaxed(0, bam_addr(bdev, 0, BAM_IRQ_SRCS_MSK_EE));
...
}
Additionally, does this cause unbalanced clock disables?
pm_runtime_force_suspend() drops the clock enable count to 0, which would
cause the subsequent clk_disable_unprepare(bdev->bamclk) at the end of
bam_dma_remove() to decrement the count to -1 and trigger a clock
framework warning.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does the IRQ handler read hardware registers
before verifying the device is active?
In bam_dma_irq(), process_channel_irqs() is called before pm_runtime_get_sync():
drivers/dma/qcom/bam_dma.c:bam_dma_irq() {
...
srcs |= process_channel_irqs(bdev);
...
ret = pm_runtime_get_sync(bdev->dev);
...
}
Inside process_channel_irqs(), it reads hardware registers:
drivers/dma/qcom/bam_dma.c:process_channel_irqs() {
...
srcs = readl_relaxed(bam_addr(bdev, 0, BAM_IRQ_SRCS_EE));
...
}
If the IRQ handler executes due to a spurious interrupt or shared line while
the device is in a runtime-suspended state (and its clocks are off), could
reading the BAM register cause a bus fault or crash?
