Re: [PATCH v10 13/26] scsi: ufs: mediatek: Use the common PHY framework

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [High] The driver now fails to probe on platforms where the UFS PHY is not defined in the device tree, breaking backward compatibility.
- [High] Returning an error late in PM runtime callbacks leaves the device in an inconsistent state and breaks PM state synchronization.

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The return values of `phy_power_on()` and `phy_power_off()` are ignored, which can lead to unbalanced PM runtime counts and hardware state corruption.

--- Patch [13]: [PATCH v10 13/26] scsi: ufs: mediatek: Use the common PHY framework ---
commit 114da5212062d5f11b7f9274ba9701891ef82788
Author: Nicolas Frattaroli <nicolas.frattaroli@collabora.com>

scsi: ufs: mediatek: Use the common PHY framework
    
This patch refactors the MediaTek UFS driver to use the common PHY framework 
to acquire the device's PHY during ufshcd init, ensuring it is device-linked 
to the correct device.

[Severity: High]
Will this cause the driver probe to fail on platforms where the UFS PHY
is not defined in the device tree?

The original ufs_mtk_bind_mphy() tolerated -ENODEV to allow for unbound 
mphys since not all platforms require specific mphy control. By switching 
to devm_phy_get() instead of devm_phy_optional_get(), won't this return 
-ENODEV and fail the probe if the "phys" property is missing, breaking 
backward compatibility with older device trees?

[Severity: High]
Does returning an error here leave the device in an inconsistent state?

If ufshcd_runtime_suspend() succeeds, the main UFS controller hardware is
fully suspended (clocks gated, link hibern8). If ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on() 
fails afterward, this returns the error to the PM core. 

Since the PM core intercepts the non-zero return as a runtime suspend 
failure, it leaves the software state as RPM_ACTIVE. If the software 
thinks the device is active while the hardware is actually suspended, 
won't the next hardware access skip runtime_resume and cause a system 
hang or bus error?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on() safely
handle phy_power_on() failures?

Looking at ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on() in drivers/ufs/host/ufs-mediatek.c:

static int ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on(struct ufs_hba *hba, bool on)
{
        ...
        if (on) {
                ret = ufs_mtk_09v_on(host);
                if (ret)
                        return ret;
                phy_power_on(mphy);
        } else {
                phy_power_off(mphy);
        ...
        host->mphy_powered_on = on;
        return 0;
}

If phy_power_on() fails, it cleans up its runtime PM and does not 
increment the power_count, but ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on() ignores the return 
value and still sets host->mphy_powered_on = true. 

When ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on(hba, false) is called later, it will blindly 
call phy_power_off(). Won't this decrement the PHY's power_count 
(potentially underflowing it), corrupting the PHY driver's PM usage 
counter and causing an unbalanced PM state?

[Severity: High]
Could a failure here cause similar PM state inconsistencies?

If ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on() fails during runtime resume, returning an 
error without rolling back the prior partial initialization (such as 
ufs_mtk_mtcmos_ctrl) might confuse the PM core. Does this need to clean 
up previously resumed components before returning?
