Subject: [PATCH 1/2] spi: pxa2xx: disable DMA and fix runtime PM for Apple MacBook8,1
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:24:19 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260712162420.7453-2-fourdollars@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260712162420.7453-1-fourdollars@debian.org>
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, pm_runtime_allow() must not be called for the
controller, because runtime 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 quirk to spi-pxa2xx-pci.c (the LPSS host controller
driver) to avoid layering violations in the client driver, and guard
pm_runtime_allow() with the same pxa2xx_spi_pci_can_dma() check used
to set enable_dma so that PIO-mode controllers stay permanently active.
