[ Upstream commit 7e01511443c30a55a5ae78d3debd46d4d872517e ]
Coalesce the direction bits from the enabled TX and/or RX channels into
the directions bit mask of dma_device. Without this mask set,
dma_get_slave_caps() in the DMAEngine fails, which prevents the driver
from being used with an IIO DMAEngine buffer.

**YES**
## Analysis
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees because it fixes
a critical functionality bug that prevents the Xilinx DMA driver from
working with important subsystems.
### The Problem
The commit addresses a fundamental issue where `dma_get_slave_caps()`
fails when called on Xilinx DMA channels. The code change shows that the
driver was not setting the `directions` field in the `dma_device`
structure:
```c
+ xdev->common.directions |= chan->direction;
```
This single line fix accumulates the direction capabilities from
individual channels (either `DMA_MEM_TO_DEV` or `DMA_DEV_TO_MEM`) into
the device-level `directions` bitmask.
### Why This Qualifies for Backporting
1. **Fixes Important User-Facing Bug**: The commit message explicitly
states this prevents the driver from being used with IIO DMAEngine
buffers, which is a significant functional regression affecting real
users.
2. **Small and Contained Fix**: The change is minimal - just one line of
code that sets a required field during channel probe. This has
extremely low risk of introducing regressions.
3. **Critical Subsystem Integration**: Without this fix,
`dma_get_slave_caps()` calls fail with `-ENXIO`, breaking integration
with any subsystem that queries DMA capabilities (like IIO).
4. **Clear Root Cause**: The fix directly addresses the root cause - the
missing `directions` field that the DMAEngine core requires to be
set.
5. **No Architectural Changes**: This doesn't introduce new features or
change driver architecture; it simply provides required capability
information that was missing.
### Comparison to Reference Commits
This closely matches **Similar Commit #1** (marked YES) which also fixed
a missing capability flag (`DMA_CYCLIC cap_mask bit`) that prevented
proper DMA channel allocation. Both commits:
- Fix missing capability declarations
- Are small, single-line changes
- Address integration failures with other subsystems
- Have minimal regression risk
The commit also mirrors **Similar Commit #2** (marked YES) which fixed
incorrect struct usage in the same driver - both address functional
correctness issues in the Xilinx DMA driver.
### Risk Assessment
The risk is minimal because:
- The change only affects the capability reporting mechanism
- It doesn't modify any data paths or transfer logic
- The direction values being OR'd together are already correctly set
per-channel
- Failure mode is obvious (capability queries will work instead of
failing)
This is a textbook example of a stable tree candidate: it fixes an
important bug affecting real users with a minimal, low-risk change that
doesn't introduce new functionality.

ERR051624: The Controller Without Vaux Cannot Exit L23 Ready Through Beacon
or PERST# De-assertion
When the auxiliary power is not available, the controller cannot exit from
L23 Ready with beacon or PERST# de-assertion when main power is not
removed. So the workaround is to set SS_RW_REG_1[SYS_AUX_PWR_DET] to 1.
This workaround is required irrespective of whether Vaux is supplied to the
link partner or not.

**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:
## **Primary Justification: Hardware Errata Fix**
**ERR051624** is a documented silicon-level hardware errata affecting
i.MX95 PCIe controllers. The commit message clearly states this is a
workaround for a fundamental hardware limitation where "the controller
cannot exit from L23 Ready with beacon or PERST# de-assertion when main
power is not removed" when auxiliary power is unavailable.
## **Code Analysis**
The changes are **minimal and targeted**:
```c
+ /*
+ * ERR051624: The Controller Without Vaux Cannot Exit L23 Ready
+ * Through Beacon or PERST# De-assertion
+ *
+ * When the auxiliary power is not available, the controller
+ * cannot exit from L23 Ready with beacon or PERST# de-assertion
+ * when main power is not removed.
+ *
+ * Workaround: Set SS_RW_REG_1[SYS_AUX_PWR_DET] to 1.
+ */
+ regmap_set_bits(imx_pcie->iomuxc_gpr, IMX95_PCIE_SS_RW_REG_1,
+ IMX95_PCIE_SYS_AUX_PWR_DET);
```
The fix is:
- **Self-contained**: Only affects i.MX95 PCIe initialization path
(`imx95_pcie_init_phy`)
- **Low risk**: Simple register bit set with no complex logic
- **Well-documented**: Includes detailed errata description and official
workaround
- **Hardware-specific**: No impact on other platforms or subsystems
## **Impact Assessment**
This errata affects **critical system functionality**:
- **Power Management**: Prevents proper exit from L23 Ready state
- **System Resume**: Could cause hangs during suspend/resume cycles
- **Platform Stability**: Affects fundamental PCIe power state
transitions
## **Historical Precedent**
Examining similar commits shows a **consistent pattern of hardware
errata backporting**:
1. **Similar Commit #4 (Status: YES)**: "PCI: dwc: Provide deinit
callback for i.MX" - Also addresses i.MX PCIe initialization issues
and was backported
2. **ERR005723 workaround**: Recently backported to stable (`Cc:
stable@vger.kernel.org`)
3. **ERR010728 workaround**: Multiple commits addressing this errata,
showing active stable maintenance
## **Stable Tree Criteria Compliance**
✅ **Important bugfix**: Addresses hardware limitation affecting system
power management
✅ **Minimal risk**: Single register bit set with no side effects
✅ **Small and contained**: 13 lines of code, confined to one function
✅ **No architectural changes**: Simple workaround implementation
✅ **Critical subsystem**: PCIe power management is fundamental to system
operation
✅ **Clear documentation**: Well-documented errata with official
workaround
## **Risk Analysis**
**Regression Risk: MINIMAL**
- Only affects i.MX95 platforms specifically
- Workaround is mandated by hardware vendor (NXP)
- No conditional logic that could fail
- Register bit set follows official errata documentation
## **Maintainer Pattern**
The i.MX PCIe driver maintainers (Richard Zhu/NXP, Manivannan
Sadhasivam) have consistently tagged hardware errata fixes for stable
backporting, demonstrating their commitment to stable kernel support for
production hardware issues.
## **Conclusion**
This commit represents a **mandatory workaround for broken hardware**
that affects basic system functionality (power management). It follows
established patterns of similar errata fixes that have been successfully
backported, poses minimal regression risk, and addresses a real-world
issue that would impact users of i.MX95-based systems in production
environments.
