[PATCH v3] firmware: arm_scmi: Fix premature SCMI_XFER_FLAG_IS_RAW clearing in raw mode

From: Artem Shimko
Date: Wed Oct 08 2025 - 05:11:12 EST


The SCMI_XFER_FLAG_IS_RAW flag was being cleared prematurely in
scmi_xfer_raw_put() before transfer completion was properly acknowledged
by the raw message handlers.

Move the SCMI_XFER_FLAG_IS_RAW and SCMI_XFER_FLAG_CHAN_SET flag clearing
from scmi_xfer_raw_put() to __scmi_xfer_put() to ensure flags remain set
throughout the entire raw message processing pipeline until the transfer
returns to the free pool.

Fixes: 3095a3e25d8f ("firmware: arm_scmi: Add xfer helpers to provide raw access")
