--- Patch [3]: [PATCH v2 3/4] spi: amlogic: spisg: Fix the incorrect keep_ss of the last descriptor ---

spi: amlogic: spisg: Fix the incorrect keep_ss of the last descriptor
This commit fixes the incorrect handling of the keep_ss state for the last
descriptor in the Amlogic SPISG driver. It ensures the CFG_KEEP_SS bit is
properly set based on the final transfer's cs_change value, ensuring the
chip select behaves correctly even when a cs-hold delay is present.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does calling spi_finalize_current_message()
before releasing the hardware lock open a race window for the next transfer?
In aml_spisg_transfer_one_message(), we have:
msg->status = ret;
spi_finalize_current_message(ctlr);
aml_spisg_sem_up_write(spisg);
Since spi_finalize_current_message() signals the SPI core that the controller
is ready, could the SPI core immediately dispatch the next transfer on another
CPU, which then fails aml_spisg_sem_down_read() and aborts with -EBUSY?
[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the target abort handler
incorrectly signal a successful transfer?
In aml_spisg_target_abort():
spisg->status = 0;
regmap_write(spisg->map, SPISG_REG_DESC_LIST_H, 0);
complete(&spisg->completion);
And in aml_spisg_transfer_one_message():
if (wait_for_completion_timeout(&spisg->completion,
spi_controller_is_target(spisg->controller) ?
MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT : msecs_to_jiffies(ms))) {
ret = spisg->status ? -EIO : 0;
If a transfer is aborted, status is set to 0 and the wait completes. Does
this cause the SPI client to incorrectly interpret an aborted transfer as
fully successful?
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but do the probe error path and remove
functions leak PM runtime references?
In aml_spisg_probe(), the out_clk error path exits without disabling
PM runtime:
out_clk:
if (spisg->core)
clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->core);
clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->pclk);
return ret;
Additionally, aml_spisg_remove() does not call pm_runtime_disable():
static void aml_spisg_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
...
if (!pm_runtime_suspended(&pdev->dev)) {
Does this prevent the device's power domain from suspending and cause
a kernel warning when rebinding?
[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but are the devm-managed clocks
being double-disabled?
In aml_spisg_clk_init(), pclk is explicitly disabled:
clk_set_min_rate(spisg->pclk, SPISG_PCLK_RATE_MIN);
clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->pclk);
In the aml_spisg_probe() error path, both clocks are manually disabled:
out_clk:
if (spisg->core)
clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->core);
clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->pclk);
And in aml_spisg_remove(), they are disabled again:
clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->core);
clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->pclk);
Since these clocks are acquired using devm_clk_get_enabled(), which
automatically registers a cleanup action, will manually disabling them
underflow the clock enable count and trigger warnings from the clock
framework?
