On MacBook8,1 (early 2015 12" MacBook), the LPSS SPI controller at
00:15.4 has two related problems:
1. The DMA handshake and interrupt routing frequently fail or time out,
causing the keyboard and trackpad (driven by the applespi driver via
SPI) to become unresponsive. Force PIO mode to avoid this.
2. When DMA is disabled, runtime PM autosuspend clock-gates the LPSS
block between transfers. Accessing its MMIO registers while clock-gated
triggers a PCIe Completion Timeout which causes a watchdog reset.
Move the force-PIO DMI quirk to spi-pxa2xx-pci.c (the LPSS host controller
driver) to avoid layering violations in the client driver.
To prevent the PCIe Completion Timeout crash when operating in PIO mode:
- Only enable runtime autosuspend in pxa2xx_spi_pci_probe() if enable_dma
is true.
- If DMA is disabled (either statically via the DMI quirk / module parameter
or dynamically due to channel exhaustion), call pm_runtime_forbid() in
pxa2xx_spi_probe() to permanently disable runtime PM autosuspend. This
prevents userspace tools (like PowerTOP) or udev rules from overriding
the setting.
- Call synchronize_irq() in pxa2xx_spi_runtime_suspend() to wait for any
active handlers on the shared interrupt line to finish before disabling
the clock, avoiding unclocked MMIO register reads in ssp_int().
Avoid duplicate can-DMA pci_info() logging by checking the pre-computed
enable_dma status in probe and passing a verbose flag to can_dma().

From: Shih-Yuan Lee <fourdollars@debian.org>
Intel LPSS SPI controllers lose all private register state across S3
suspend because the LPSS power domain is fully removed. On resume the
driver only re-enables the SSP clock, leaving the LPSS private registers
in their power-on-reset state, which causes two problems:
1. LPSS_PRIV_RESETS (offset 0x04 within the LPSS private space) stays
zero, keeping the functional block in reset. Any MMIO access while
the block is held in reset causes a PCIe Completion Timeout and a
watchdog-triggered system reset. LPSS_PRIV_RESETS_FUNC and
LPSS_PRIV_RESETS_IDMA must be de-asserted before any other register
access on resume.
2. The LPSS software chip-select control register must not be blindly
restored from its suspend-time snapshot: if CS was asserted at the
moment of suspend, restoring that state corrupts the first
post-resume SPI transaction. Instead, call lpss_ssp_setup() which
unconditionally writes SW_MODE | CS_HIGH (idle/deasserted), matching
the state established at probe time.
To resolve these issues safely:
- Wrap S3 suspend/resume with pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and
pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() respectively. This ensures that if the
device was runtime-suspended, it is temporarily resumed to active state
prior to suspend. This guarantees that the clock and power domain are
active during MMIO register access, and that the private registers are
consistently saved and restored across S3 sleep cycles.
- Save only the first 6 LPSS private registers (offsets 0x00 to 0x14)
via drv_data->lpss_base during suspend. Offsets beyond 0x14 (except
CS control at 0x18, which is re-initialised by lpss_ssp_setup()) are
reserved/unimplemented on LPT platforms (such as MacBook8,1), and
writing to them triggers a PCIe Completion Timeout causing a system
freeze.
- Store the saved context in drv_data->lpss_priv_ctx[6] (inside struct
driver_data) which is private to the core driver. This avoids changing
the layout of struct pxa2xx_spi_controller, preventing ABI symbol
version mismatches with uncompiled platform drivers (e.g.,
spi-pxa2xx-platform.ko).
On resume, de-assert resets first, restore all other saved registers,
then call lpss_ssp_setup() to re-initialise CS.
