[PATCH] Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: fix stale cache in set_dxstate fallback check

From: Vladimir V. Kondratyev

Date: Thu May 07 2026 - 16:36:05 EST


btintel_pcie_set_dxstate() falls back to checking the controller state via
btintel_pcie_in_d3/d0() when the alive interrupt is missed. However, these
helpers read boot_stage_cache, which is only updated by the interrupt
handler. As such, if the interrupt was missed, the cache is stale and the
fallback check always fails, exhausting all retries and returning -EBUSY,
causing suspend to abort.

The fix involves re-reading the hardware register before the fallback state
check, consistent with btintel_pcie_resume().
