[PATCH 1/2] soc: qcom: llcc: Add per-slice counter and common llcc slice descriptor

From: Francisco Munoz Ruiz

Date: Thu Mar 05 2026 - 22:15:45 EST


From: Unnathi Chalicheemala <unnathi.chalicheemala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Fix incorrect slice activation/deactivation accounting by replacing the
bitmap-based activation tracking with per-slice atomic reference counters.
This resolves mismatches that occur when multiple client drivers vote for
the same slice or when llcc_slice_getd() is called multiple times.

As part of this fix, simplify slice descriptor handling by eliminating
dynamic allocation. llcc_slice_getd() now returns a pointer to a
preallocated descriptor, removing the need for repeated allocation/free
cycles and ensuring consistent reference tracking across all users.
