Subject: [PATCH 2/3] net: pse-pd: prevent regulator cleanup from disabling unclaimed PSE PIs
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 18:10:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260329161014.2908509-3-github@szelinsky.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260329161014.2908509-1-github@szelinsky.de>
When a PSE controller driver is loaded as a module, its PI regulators
are registered before any consumer (PHY) acquires the corresponding PSE
control via of_pse_control_get(). The regulator framework's
regulator_late_cleanup then calls pse_pi_is_enabled(), which queries
hardware and sees the PI is enabled. Since no consumer holds it
(use_count == 0), regulator_late_cleanup disables it, killing PoE.
Add an admin_state_synced flag to struct pse_pi that is set when a
consumer first acquires the PSE control and syncs admin_state_enabled
from hardware. In pse_pi_is_enabled(), report unsynchronized PIs as
disabled so regulator_late_cleanup skips them.
This preserves the existing dual-path behavior: software-tracked state
for software-controlled power domains, and hardware queries for
hardware-controlled domains. The admin_state_synced flag is only false
before the first consumer acquisition, which is the exact window where
regulator_late_cleanup could incorrectly disable the PI.
