[PATCH v3] usb: dwc3: core: Prevent USB core invalid event buffer address access

[Selvarasu Ganesan]

This commit addresses an issue where the USB core could access an
invalid event buffer address during runtime suspend, potentially causing
SMMU faults and other memory issues in Exynos platforms. The problem
arises from the following sequence.
        1. In dwc3_gadget_suspend, there is a chance of a timeout when
        moving the USB core to the halt state after clearing the
        run/stop bit by software.
        2. In dwc3_core_exit, the event buffer is cleared regardless of
        the USB core's status, which may lead to an SMMU faults and
        other memory issues. if the USB core tries to access the event
        buffer address.

To prevent this hardware quirk on Exynos platforms, this commit ensures
that the event buffer address is not cleared by software  when the USB
core is active during runtime suspend by checking its status before
clearing the buffer address.

Changes in v3:
- Added comment on why we need this fix.
- Included platform name in commit message.
- Removed Fixes tag as no issue on the previous commits, and updated Cc tag.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240808120507.1464-1-selvarasu.g@samsung.com/

Changes in v2:
- Added separate check for USB controller status before cleaning the
  event buffer.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240722145617.537-1-selvarasu.g@samsung.com/

Hi Greg,

This issue is not related to any particular commit. The given fix is 
address a hardware quirk on the Exynos platform. And we require it to be 
backported on stable kernel 6.1 and above all stable kernel.

Thanks,
Selva

Usually there's no "v" to indicate version. I'm not sure if it'll be an
issue. Regardless,

If it's a hardware quirk issue, why are you restricting it to a specific
kernel release and not a specific kernel commit?  Why not 5.15?  5.4?

Hi Greg,

I mentioned a specific kernel because our platform is set to be tested 
and functioning with kernels 6.1 and above, and the issue was reported 
with these kernel versions. However, we would be fine if all stable 
kernels, such as 5.4 and 5.15, were backported. In this case, if you 
need a new patch version to update the Cc tag for all stable kernels, 
please suggest the Cc tag to avoid confusion in next version.
