Subject: [PATCH] hw/char/bcm2835_aux: Fix incorrect interrupt ID when RX disabled
Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2025 20:37:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250328123725.94176-1-yeechen0207@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch fixes a misconfiguration issue in the read implementation of
the AUX_MU_IIR_REG register. This issue can lead to a transmit interrupt
being incorrectly interpreted as a receive interrupt when the receive
interrupt is disabled and the receive FIFO holds valid bytes.

The AUX_MU_IIR_REG register (interrupt ID bits [2:1]) indicates the
status of mini UART interrupts:

    - 00: No interrupts
    - 01: Transmit FIFO is empty
    - 10: Receive FIFO is not empty
    - 11: <Not possible>

When the transmit interrupt is enabled and the receive interrupt is
disabled, the original code incorrectly sets the interrupt ID bits.
Specifically:

    1. Transmit FIFO empty, receive FIFO empty
        - Expected 0b01, returned 0b01 (correct)
    2. Transmit FIFO empty, receive FIFO not empty
        - Expected 0b01, returned 0b10 (incorrect)

In the second case, the code sets the interrupt ID to 0b10 (receive FIFO
is not empty) even if the receive interrupt is disabled.

To fix this, the patch adds additional condition for setting the
interrupt ID bits to also check if the receive interrupt is enabled.
