Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 0/3] Input/SPI: fixes for MacBook8,1 DMA timeout, UAF, and NULL pointer dereference

Hi Dmitry, Mark, and the linux-input/linux-spi community,
Thank you for all the feedback across v1 through v5 of this series.
During further testing on the MacBook8,1 hardware, I discovered two
additional issues that change the scope of the fix:
1. The LPSS SPI controller (00:15.4) loses all private register state
across S3 suspend/resume. Restoring only the SSP clock on resume,
without de-asserting LPSS_PRIV_RESETS (0x204) first, causes a PCIe
Completion Timeout and a watchdog-triggered system reset. Additionally,
the IDMA block (which shares the SPI interrupt line) needs its registers
restored to prevent spurious interrupts from masking real SPI transfers.
This is a generic LPSS fix in spi-pxa2xx.c, not specific to MacBook8,1.
2. The applespi_remove() teardown has a use-after-free race between the
drain_writes/drain_reads calls and the GPE handler removal.
Given these changes, the patch series has grown and now spans two
subsystems more cleanly than before:
[input] Input: applespi - register touchpad device synchronously in probe
[input] Input: applespi - fix use-after-free in applespi_remove()
[spi] spi: pxa2xx: disable DMA and fix runtime PM for Apple MacBook8,1
[spi] spi: pxa2xx: restore LPSS private and IDMA registers on S3 resume
I will submit these as two separate series to linux-input and linux-spi
respectively rather than continuing this thread, to keep subsystem
boundaries clean.
Thanks again for your patience and review.
Shih-Yuan Lee
