[PATCH v3 0/3] HID: Intel-thc-hid: Refine error recovery flow

[Even Xu]

This series refines the fatal error recovery flow for the Intel THC
(Touch Host Controller) subsystem, covering both the QuickI2C and
QuickSPI drivers.

Currently, when a fatal DMA error is detected in the IRQ thread handler,
the recovery is performed inline: the interrupt handler calls
try_recover() directly, which unconfigures and reconfigures the DMA
engine.

This approach has several problems:
1. Recovery runs in the IRQ thread context, which is not ideal for
   potentially slow reset operations.
2. The interrupt is re-enabled before recovery completes, risking an
   interrupt storm if DMA errors persist.
3. The DMA reset logic is open-coded in each protocol driver, leading
   to duplication and divergence over time.

This patch series addresses all of the above:

By adding a new thc_rxdma_reset() API to the THC core layer, QuickI2C
and QuickSPI drivers can call it respectively to refine the recovery
callback.

The synchronous try_recover() call in the IRQ thread is replaced with
schedule_work(), deferring recovery to a workqueue.  Within the work
function:
- The interrupt line is disabled before any DMA manipulation.
- thc_rxdma_reset() is used instead of the open-coded sequence.
- On failure the device is marked DISABLED and the interrupt remains
  off, preventing an interrupt storm.

Change log:
v3:
 - Quiesce external interrupt and disable THC internal interrupt in
   remove() and shutdown() callback before cancel_work_sync().

v2:
 - Use dev_err() instead of dev_err_once() so repeated failures during
   recurring recovery are not silently suppressed.
 - Pause both RxDMA channels via thc_wait_for_dma_pause() before calling
   thc_dma_unconfigure() to ensure the DMA engines are inactive before
   clearing PRD base addresses, preventing potential IOMMU faults or
   memory corruption.
 - Hold a runtime PM reference inside try_recover() to prevent the
   device from suspending while the work accesses hardware registers.
 - Add cancel_work_sync() in quicki2c_remove() and quicki2c_shutdown()
   to prevent use-after-free if recovery work is still queued at teardown.
 - Only re-enable the interrupt in the IRQ thread handler when no recovery
   is needed; the work function handles re-enabling after successful reset,
   avoiding an interrupt storm from the uncleared hardware error state.
