[PATCH] fpga: altera-cvp: Retry teardown and reset CVP state on failure
From: muhammad . nazim . amirul . nazle . asmade
Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 07:24:18 EST
From: Nazim Amirul <muhammad.nazim.amirul.nazle.asmade@xxxxxxxxxx>
If an incorrect bitstream is sent, the teardown may fail due to a
CFG_RDY timeout. When this happens, reset CVP_MODE and HIP_CLK_SEL
bits to clean up the hardware state and return -EAGAIN, allowing the
caller to retry. Introduce altera_cvp_recovery() to wrap this retry
logic with a maximum of CVP_TEARDOWN_MAX_RETRY attempts.
