[PATCH v6 14/18] dmaengine: sh: rz-dmac: Add runtime PM support

From: Claudiu Beznea

Date: Tue May 26 2026 - 04:57:14 EST


From: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea.uj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Protect the driver exposed APIs with runtime PM suspend/resume calls
before accessing HW registers. As the current driver leaves runtime PM
enabled in probe, the purpose of the changes in this patch is to avoid
accessing HW registers after a failed system suspend leaves the runtime
PM state of the device improperly reinitialized.

In that case, the driver remains bound to the device, the APIs are still
exposed, and any access to HW registers without runtime resuming the
device may lead to synchronous aborts.

To avoid leaking resources in case of runtime PM failures, save the error
code returned by PM_RUNTIME_ACQUIRE_ERR() in rz_dmac_terminate_all() and
return it only at the end of the function to allow the cleanup code to
run. A similar approach is used in rz_dmac_free_chan_resources().

Because some exposed APIs (e.g. ->device_terminate_all()) may be called
from atomic context according to the documentation, mark the DMA device as
pm_runtime_irq_safe().

This patch prepares the driver for suspend-to-RAM support.

Changes in v6:
- updated patch description
- collected tags
- in rz_dmac_free_chan_resources() and rz_dmac_terminate_all() don't touch
the HW registers if runtime resume failed but allow freeing resources
as suggested by sashiko; along with it added debug messages in case the
RPM resume failed
- dropped the runtime resume from rz_dmac_xfer_desc() and move it instead
in rz_dmac_issue_pending() only to avoid calling rpm resume code in
interrupt path as, if we are in the interrupt path the device is sanely
in runtime resume state
- moved the RPM resume code in from rz_dmac_tx_status to
rz_dmac_chan_get_residue(), as close as possible to the HW registers read
to avoid RPM resume in case the residue could be returned w/o interracting
with the HW
- updated patch description

Changes in v5:
- none, this patch is new
