[PATCH v2 2/2] bus: mhi: ep: Add missing state_lock protection for mhi_state access

From: Sumit Kumar

Date: Tue Apr 14 2026 - 02:30:21 EST


The mhi_cntrl->mhi_state field should be protected by state_lock to
ensure atomic state transitions. However, mhi_ep_power_up() access
mhi_state without holding this lock, which can race with concurrent state
transitions and lead to state corruption.

Add proper state_lock protection around mhi_state access.

Fixes: fb3a26b7e8af ("bus: mhi: ep: Add support for powering up the MHI endpoint stack")
Fixes: f7d0806bdb1b3 ("bus: mhi: ep: Add support for handling SYS_ERR condition")
