Subject: [PATCH] octeontx2-af: Fix PF driver crash with kexec kernel booting
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 14:49:25 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129091925.2465681-1-agaur@marvell.com> (raw)
When both AF and PF drivers are built as modules, the PF driver in the
kexec kernel may probe before the AF driver is ready. This leads to
a crash due to uninitialized hardware state.
This patch ensures the PF driver properly detects and waits for AF
driver readiness before proceeding with initialization.
Fixes: 54494aa5d1e6 ("octeontx2-af: Add Marvell OcteonTX2 RVU AF driver")
