Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] thermal: qcom: tsens: atomic temperature read with hardware-guided retries
Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 15:36:59 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508100700.772985-2-priyansh.jain@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260508100700.772985-1-priyansh.jain@oss.qualcomm.com>
The existing TSENS temperature read logic polls the valid bit and then
reads the temperature register. When temperature reads are triggered
at very short intervals, this can race with hardware updates and allow
the temperature field to be read while it is still being updated.
In this case, the valid bit may already be asserted even though the
temperature value is transitioning, resulting in an incorrect reading.
Hardware programming guidelines require the temperature value and the
valid bit to be sampled atomically in the same read transaction. A
reading is considered valid only if the valid bit is observed set in
that same sample.
The guidelines further specify that software should attempt the
temperature read up to three times to account for transient update
windows. If none of the attempts observe a valid sample, a stable
fallback value must be returned: if the first and second samples match,
the second value is returned; otherwise, if the second and third
samples match, the third value is returned.
Update the TSENS sensor read logic to implement atomic sampling along
with the recommended retry-and-compare fallback behavior. This removes
the race window and ensures deterministic temperature values in
accordance with hardware requirements.
