[PATCH 3/3] platform/x86: intel_scu_ipc: Fail IPC send if still busy

From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Wed Aug 30 2023 - 21:14:20 EST


It's possible for interrupts to get significantly delayed to the point
that callers of intel_scu_ipc_dev_command() and friends can call the
function once, hit a timeout, and call it again while the interrupt
still hasn't been processed. This driver will get seriously confused if
the interrupt is finally processed after the second IPC has been sent
with ipc_command(). It won't know which IPC has been completed. This
could be quite disastrous if calling code assumes something has happened
upon return from intel_scu_ipc_dev_simple_command() when it actually
hasn't.

Let's avoid this scenario by simply returning -EBUSY in this case.
Hopefully higher layers will know to back off or fail gracefully when
this happens. It's all highly unlikely anyway, but it's better to be
correct here as we have no way to know which IPC the status register is
telling us about if we send a second IPC while the previous IPC is still
processing.
