[PATCH v5 16/18] thermal/drivers/tegra: Remove unneeded lock when setting a trip point

From: Daniel Lezcano
Date: Wed Mar 01 2023 - 15:16:53 EST


The function tegra_tsensor_enable_hw_channel() takes the thermal zone
lock to prevent "a potential" race with a call to set_trips()
callback.

The driver must not play with the thermal framework core code
internals.

The tegra_tsensor_enable_hw_channel() is called by:

- the suspend / resume callbacks
- the probe function after the thermal zones are registered

The thermal zone lock taken in this function is supposed to protect
from a call to the set_trips() callback which writes in the same
register.

The potential race is when suspend / resume are called at the same
time as set_trips. This one is called only in
thermal_zone_device_update().

- At suspend time, the 'in_suspend' is set, thus the
thermal_zone_device_update() bails out immediately and set_trips is
not called during this moment.

- At resume time, the thermal zone is updated at PM_POST_SUSPEND,
thus the driver has already set the TH2 temperature.

- At probe time, we register the thermal zone and then we set the
TH2. The only scenario I can see so far is the interrupt fires, the
thermal_zone_update() is called exactly at the moment
tegra_tsensor_enable_hw_channel() a few lines after registering it.

Enable the channels before setting up the interrupt. We close the
potential race window without using the thermal zone's lock.
