[PATCH 1/2] hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Propagate DMA reset timeout in trace_start()

From: Pradhan, Sanman

Date: Wed Apr 08 2026 - 21:09:20 EST


From: Sanman Pradhan <psanman@xxxxxxxxxxx>

hisi_ptt_wait_dma_reset_done() discards the return value of
readl_poll_timeout_atomic(). If the DMA engine does not complete its
reset within the timeout, hisi_ptt_trace_start() proceeds to start
tracing regardless.

Return the poll result from hisi_ptt_wait_dma_reset_done() and
propagate it from hisi_ptt_trace_start(). Deassert the reset bit
before returning on timeout, preserving the existing reset cleanup
sequence. Move ctrl->started to the successful path so a failed start
does not leave the trace marked as active.
