[PATCH v2] PCI: dwc: Initialize pp->lock before MSI domain registration

From: Yadu M G

Date: Thu May 14 2026 - 14:19:30 EST


A lockdep warning is observed during boot on a Qcom firmware managed
platform:

INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
you didn't initialize this object before use?
turning off the locking correctness validator.
...
Call trace:
register_lock_class+0x128/0x4d8
__lock_acquire+0x110/0x1db0
lock_acquire+0x278/0x3d8
_raw_spin_lock_irq+0x6c/0xc0
dw_pcie_irq_domain_alloc+0x48/0x190
irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent+0x2c/0x48
msi_domain_alloc+0x90/0x160
...

dw_pcie_irq_domain_alloc() takes pp->lock while allocating MSI
interrupts. pp->lock is initialized in dw_pcie_host_init(). However, on
Qcom firmware managed platforms the MSI domain is allocated from a
custom .msi_init callback by calling dw_pcie_allocate_domains()
directly, bypassing dw_pcie_host_init(). This leaves pp->lock without a
lockdep key and triggers the warning when MSI vectors are later
allocated.

Initialize pp->lock in dw_pcie_allocate_domains() before registering the
MSI IRQ domain so direct callers from custom .msi_init() paths always
have a properly initialized lock. Keep the existing initialization in
dw_pcie_host_init(), since pp->lock is also used by legacy INTx handling
and may be taken from glue .init() callbacks even when MSI is disabled.
