[PATCH can v3 1/2] can: m_can: enable NAPI before enabling interrupts

From: Marc Kleine-Budde

From: Jake Hamby <Jake.Hamby@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

If an interrupt (RX-complete or error flag) is set when bringing up
the CAN device, e.g. due to CAN bus traffic before initializing the
device, when m_can_start() is called and interrupts are enabled,
m_can_isr() is called immediately, which disables all CAN interrupts
and calls napi_schedule().

Because napi_enable() isn't called until later in m_can_open(), the
call to napi_schedule() never schedules the m_can_poll() callback and
the device is left with interrupts disabled and can't receive any CAN
packets until rebooted.

This can be verified by running "cansend" from another device before
setting the bitrate and calling "ip link set up can0" on the test
device. Adding debug lines to m_can_isr() shows it's called with flags
(IR_EP | IR_EW | IR_CRCE), which calls m_can_disable_all_interrupts()
and napi_schedule(), and then m_can_poll() is never called.

Move the call to napi_enable() above the call to m_can_start() to
enable any initial interrupt flags to be handled by m_can_poll() so
that interrupts are reenabled. Add a call to napi_disable() in the
error handling section of m_can_open(), to handle the case where later
functions return errors.

Also, in m_can_close(), move the call to napi_disable() below the call
to m_can_stop() to ensure all interrupts are handled when bringing
down the device. This race condition is much less likely to occur.

Tested on a Microchip SAMA7G54 MPU. The fix should be applicable to
any SoC with a Bosch M_CAN controller.
