[PATCH v5 2/6] dmaengine: sh: rz-dmac: Move all CHCTRL updates under spinlock

From: Claudiu
Date: Wed Dec 17 2025 - 09:02:03 EST


From: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea.uj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Both rz_dmac_disable_hw() and rz_dmac_irq_handle_channel() update the
CHCTRL registers. To avoid concurrency issues when updating these
registers, take the virtual channel lock. All other CHCTRL updates were
already protected by the same lock.

Previously, rz_dmac_disable_hw() disabled and re-enabled local IRQs, before
accessing CHCTRL registers but this does not ensure race-free access.
Remove the local IRQ disable/enable code as well.

Fixes: 5000d37042a6 ("dmaengine: sh: Add DMAC driver for RZ/G2L SoC")
