[PATCH v4 5/5] drm/vc4: dsi: Recover from a timed-out transfer
From: Henry Zhang
Date: Wed Oct 28 2026 - 12:48:39 EST
When a transfer times out, vc4_dsi_host_transfer() disables the
command, resets the FIFOs and returns -ETIMEDOUT. That is not always
enough: after an LP receive timeout during a read (the peripheral did
not complete the bus turnaround), every following transfer times out
as well, with no interrupt and STAT reading back 0. Only a modeset,
which goes through post_disable/pre_enable, brings the block back.
Reset the DSI block and its analog front end after a timeout and restore
the configuration programmed in pre_enable, in the same order as
pre_enable: the block is ungated and the AFE released only after the
timings are programmed. Keep the interrupt handler out with
disable_irq() until the block is restored and INT_STAT is cleared, so
that neither a late completion interrupt of the timed-out transfer nor
an error interrupt raised during the reset can complete the next
transfer or run in the middle of the reset. Also mask the interrupts
until the AFE is out of reset: the error interrupts otherwise fire
continuously while it is held in reset. The timed-out message is not
resent, as it may already have been executed by the peripheral; the
error is returned and the caller decides whether to retry.
Only do this while the block is enabled. Between post_disable and
pre_enable the clocks are off and there is nothing to restore; a
transfer then times out as before. The transfer lock keeps the
recovery from running in the middle of pre_enable or post_disable.
This does not prevent the timeouts themselves. With video running,
vc4 does not keep commands within vertical blanking, and transfers can
still time out, sometimes several in a row after a reset. That is a
separate issue.
