[PATCH net-next v5 1/2] net: pse-pd: add devm_pse_poll_helper()

From: Carlo Szelinsky

Date: Wed Apr 29 2026 - 17:33:44 EST


Extract the common event handling loop from pse_isr() into a shared
pse_handle_events() function, and add a generic poll-based alternative
to the IRQ path for PSE controllers that lack interrupt support or
have IRQ lines not wired on the board.

The new devm_pse_poll_helper() function sets up a delayed work that
periodically calls the driver's map_event callback to detect state
changes, feeding events into the existing ntf_fifo / pse_send_ntf_worker
notification pipeline. This reuses the same pse_irq_desc interface as
the IRQ path: the driver provides a map_event callback that populates
per-PI notification arrays.

The poll worker uses system_freezable_wq to avoid running during system
suspend when the underlying hardware (e.g. I2C bus) may be inaccessible.

Cancel the poll work explicitly in pse_controller_unregister() (next to
the existing disable_irq() for the IRQ path) so it cannot outlive the
controller it pushes events into. This avoids relying on devres LIFO
ordering between devm_pse_controller_register() and devm_pse_poll_helper()
when a driver follows the standard pattern of setting up the helper
before registering the controller.

The notifs_mask is allocated as a real bitmap via devm_bitmap_zalloc()
and passed to pse_handle_events() and the driver's map_event callback
as a pointer (mirroring the pattern from commit 5099807f335c
("net: pse-pd: fix out-of-bounds bitmap access in pse_isr() on 32-bit"))
so for_each_set_bit() does not read past a single unsigned long when
nr_lines > BITS_PER_LONG.

The poll interval defaults to 500ms, balancing responsiveness against
bus load (e.g. I2C).
