[PATCH v1 2/3] media: sun4i-csi: disable interrupts when stopping streaming

From: Cong Nguyen

Date: Sat Aug 08 2026 - 07:19:09 EST


sun4i_csi_start_streaming() enables the frame-done interrupt in
CSI_INT_EN_REG, but sun4i_csi_stop_streaming() only stops the capture
engine (CSI_CPT_CTRL_REG) via sun4i_csi_capture_stop(). It never disables
the interrupt source nor synchronizes with the handler.

Capture stops at the end of the current frame, so a frame-done interrupt
can still fire shortly after stop_streaming() returns. If userspace then
closes the device, sun4i_csi_release() calls pm_runtime_put() and the CSI
block is powered down (clocks gated, reset asserted). A delayed interrupt
handler would then read/write CSI registers on the gated block, which can
hang or crash the system.

Clear CSI_INT_EN_REG and call synchronize_irq() in stop_streaming(), before
returning the active buffers and freeing the scratch buffer, so no handler
can run past this point. Store the IRQ number in struct sun4i_csi so it is
available here.
