[PATCH v3 2/2] dmaengine: mediatek: uart: synchronize completion callbacks

From: James Hilliard

Date: Tue Oct 27 2026 - 14:45:17 EST


Terminating a UART APDMA channel waits for its interrupt handler, but
completion callbacks run in the virt-dma tasklet. A callback already
removed from desc_completed can still be running after termination
returns. With no device_synchronize hook, dmaengine_synchronize() does
not wait for that callback either.

Use vchan_dma_synchronize() as the UART APDMA device_synchronize callback
so clients can wait for completion callbacks before reusing callback
state or freeing DMA buffers. Keep the callback wait separate from
device_terminate_all so it can run without locks acquired by the callback.
