[PATCH] media: mali-c55: fail power-on when safe stop times out

From: Pengpeng Hou

Date: Sun Aug 30 2026 - 09:46:21 EST


The power-on path requests safe stop to establish a non-streaming state but
ignores the polling result and publishes runtime resume success.

Power the block back off and propagate a safe-stop timeout.
