[PATCH v5 04/10] media: microchip-isc: disable histogram and flush AWB work on teardown

From: Balakrishnan Sambath

Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 02:59:14 EST


isc_stop_streaming() and the isc_start_streaming() error path dropped the
runtime PM reference with the histogram still enabled. A HISDONE firing
just before the stop, or a failed isc_update_profile() on the start path,
can queue isc_awb_work(), which reads the histogram registers before
taking its own PM reference and faults on the unclocked device.

Disable the histogram, synchronize the IRQ and flush the work before the
device is left unclocked. isc_configure() is the one enabling the
histogram and then calling isc_update_profile(), so do the cleanup in its
own failure path; isc_stop_streaming() does the same on teardown.
synchronize_irq() must come before cancel_work_sync(), so an in-flight
handler cannot re-queue awb_work after it is cancelled.
