[PATCH v3] usb: typec: ucsi: recover from silent PPM completion in sync_control

From: AceLan Kao

Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 22:35:27 EST


From: "Chia-Lin Kao (AceLan)" <acelan.kao@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some firmware completes UCSI commands and sets COMMAND_COMPLETE (or
ACK_COMPLETE for ACK_CC_CI) in CCI but never fires the ACPI notify that
would wake ucsi_sync_control_common(). The driver then times out after
5 seconds and returns -ETIMEDOUT, even though the EC finished the command
successfully.

Fix this by polling CCI once via poll_cci() on timeout. If the relevant
completion bit is already set, the EC finished silently; fall through to
out_clear_bit so the normal read_cci()/read_message_in() path retrieves
the data and ucsi_run_command() issues ACK_CC_CI as usual. Only return
-ETIMEDOUT when the EC has genuinely not completed the command.

Guard the poll_cci() call with a NULL check: if a backend does not
provide the op, skip the poll and keep reporting -ETIMEDOUT rather than
dereferencing a NULL function pointer.

Fixes: 584e8df58942 ("usb: typec: ucsi: extract common code for command handling")
Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 6.14+

v2 -> v3:
- rebase and resolve conflicts against v7.2
- Invert the post-timeout completion check so the empty "silent
completion" branch falls straight through to out_clear_bit instead
of being an empty if {} with the real logic in the else, as pointed
out in Greg's review.
v1 -> v2:
- Add Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 6.14+ as flagged by Greg's patch bot:
the Fixes: tag targets a commit already in released kernels, so the fix
must be nominated for stable. Scoped to 6.14+ because poll_cci only
exists from that release (absent in 6.11-6.13).
- Guard the poll_cci() call with a NULL check to avoid dereferencing a
NULL function pointer when a backend does not provide the op.
