[PATCH v2 2/3] media: sun4i-csi: disable interrupts when stopping streaming

From: Cong Nguyen

Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 02:27:47 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.

Add a helper that clears CSI_INT_EN_REG, reads it back to flush the posted
write, and calls synchronize_irq(), so no handler can run past that point.
Call it from stop_streaming() before returning the active buffers and
freeing the scratch buffer.

The start_streaming() error path (err_disable_device) has the same
problem: the frame-done interrupt is enabled and capture is started
before the s_stream call that can fail, so a handler can run while the
error path frees the scratch buffer and returns the queued buffers.
Apply the same teardown there. Store the IRQ number in struct sun4i_csi
so it is available in both paths.
