phy: qualcomm: qmp-combo: Fix error propagation in qmp_combo_dp_power_on()
This commit updates qmp_combo_dp_power_on() to use guard(mutex) and
propagate errors returned by the configure_dp_phy() callback instead of
ignoring them and unconditionally setting dp_powered_on.

[Severity: High]
Does propagating the error from cfg->configure_dp_phy() cause DisplayPort PHY
power-on to unconditionally fail with -EINVAL on Nord platforms?
Earlier in this series, commit "phy: qualcomm: qmp-combo: Add
hardware-specific dp_aux_cfg2 and dp_phy_cfg1 fields" populated dp_aux_cfg2
and dp_phy_cfg1 across the V4, V5, and V6 configurations, but omitted them
from nord_usb3dpphy_cfg:
drivers/phy/qualcomm/phy-qcom-qmp-combo.c:
static const struct qmp_phy_cfg nord_usb3dpphy_cfg = {
...
.dp_aux_init = qmp_v4_dp_aux_init,
.configure_dp_tx = qmp_v4_configure_dp_tx,
.configure_dp_clocks = qmp_v3_configure_dp_clocks,
.configure_dp_phy = qmp_v4_configure_dp_phy,
.regs = qmp_v6_usb3phy_regs_layout,
...
};
When phy_power_on() invokes qmp_combo_dp_power_on() ->
qmp_v4_configure_dp_phy() -> qmp_combo_configure_dp_phy_common(), it checks
cfg->dp_aux_cfg2 and returns -EINVAL when it is zero:
drivers/phy/qualcomm/phy-qcom-qmp-combo.c:qmp_combo_configure_dp_phy_common() {
...
if (!cfg->dp_aux_cfg2) {
dev_err(qmp->dev, "DP AUX CFG2 value not configured\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
writel(cfg->dp_phy_cfg1, qmp->dp_dp_phy + QSERDES_DP_PHY_CFG_1);
...
}
Should nord_usb3dpphy_cfg also initialize .dp_aux_cfg2 and .dp_phy_cfg1 to
QSERDES_DP_PHY_AUX_CFG2_V456 and QSERDES_DP_PHY_CFG1_V456?
[Severity: High]
Will checking the return value of cfg->configure_dp_phy() here also cause
DisplayPort PHY power-on to fail with -ETIMEDOUT on Glymur (V8) platforms,
while skipping link clock enablement and status polling on V4, V5, and V6
platforms?
In commit "phy: qualcomm: qmp-combo: Extract common DP PHY init sequence",
both qmp_v4_configure_dp_phy() and qmp_v8_configure_dp_phy() started with
identical calls to qmp_v456_configure_dp_phy(qmp). It looks like the hunk
replacing qmp_v456_configure_dp_phy(qmp) with
qmp_combo_configure_dp_phy_common(qmp) was applied to
qmp_v4_configure_dp_phy() instead of qmp_v8_configure_dp_phy():
drivers/phy/qualcomm/phy-qcom-qmp-combo.c:qmp_v4_configure_dp_phy() {
...
ret = qmp_combo_configure_dp_phy_common(qmp);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
/*
* At least for 7nm DP PHY this has to be done after enabling link
* clock.
*/
...
}
drivers/phy/qualcomm/phy-qcom-qmp-combo.c:qmp_v8_configure_dp_phy() {
...
ret = qmp_v456_configure_dp_phy(qmp);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
...
}
As a result, on V8 platforms, qmp_combo_dp_power_on() ->
qmp_v8_configure_dp_phy() -> qmp_v456_configure_dp_phy() writes 0x19 to
QSERDES_DP_PHY_CFG before V8 TX/TSYNC setup and polls QPHY_DP_PHY_STATUS for
BIT(1), which times out with -ETIMEDOUT on V8 hardware and now aborts
qmp_combo_dp_power_on(). Meanwhile, qmp_v4_configure_dp_phy() bypasses
qmp_v456_configure_dp_phy() and never enables the link clock or polls
QPHY_DP_PHY_STATUS before configuring the TX lanes.
[Severity: High]
When cfg->configure_dp_phy() fails and qmp_combo_dp_power_on() returns an
error, can this leave the DP PHY hardware partially powered on and cause
phy->power_count and runtime PM refcount underflows in the caller?
Before cfg->configure_dp_phy() fails (for example with -ETIMEDOUT on PLL
lock), qmp_combo_dp_serdes_init() (whose return value is also unchecked),
qmp_configure_lane(), cfg->configure_dp_tx(), and the initial writes in
cfg->configure_dp_phy() have already deasserted power-down bits in
QSERDES_DP_PHY_PD_CTL, enabled TX drivers and biases, and started the reset
state machine. Returning directly on error does not write
DP_PHY_PD_CTL_PSR_PWRDN to QSERDES_DP_PHY_PD_CTL as qmp_combo_dp_power_off()
does.
Furthermore, when qmp_combo_dp_power_on() returns a negative error to
phy_power_on(), phy->power_count remains 0 and phy_power_on() drops its
runtime PM reference:
drivers/phy/phy-core.c:phy_power_on() {
...
if (phy->power_count == 0 && phy->ops->power_on) {
ret = phy->ops->power_on(phy);
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err(&phy->dev, "phy poweron failed --> %d\n", ret);
goto err_pwr_on;
}
}
++phy->power_count;
...
}
However, the Qualcomm DP controller in msm_dp_ctrl_enable_mainlink_clocks()
does not check the return value of phy_power_on(phy):
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dp/dp_ctrl.c:msm_dp_ctrl_enable_mainlink_clocks() {
...
phy_configure(phy, &ctrl->phy_opts);
phy_power_on(phy);
...
}
When link training subsequently retries at a lower link rate in
msm_dp_ctrl_reinitialize_mainlink() or tears down in
msm_dp_ctrl_deinitialize_mainlink() and msm_dp_ctrl_off_link(), it
unconditionally calls phy_power_off(phy). Because phy->power_count is 0
instead of 1, phy_power_off() skips phy->ops->power_off(phy), decrements
phy->power_count to -1, drops an extra runtime PM reference, and causes the
subsequent phy_power_on(phy) retry to skip calling qmp_combo_dp_power_on()
altogether.
