[PATCH] dmaengine: altera-msgdma: fail probe when reset times out
From: Pengpeng Hou
Date: Tue Jun 23 2026 - 02:06:13 EST
msgdma_probe() resets the controller before publishing the DMA device
and OF DMA provider, but msgdma_reset() only logs a timeout and then
continues to enable the controller and mark it idle.
If the reset bit never clears, the driver can still register a DMA
engine backed by a controller that did not leave reset. Return the
readl_poll_timeout() error from msgdma_reset() and abort probe on reset
failure.
