[PATCH] dmaengine: mediatek: uart: synchronize completion callbacks

From: James Hilliard

Date: Wed Oct 21 2026 - 17:13:40 EST


Terminating a UART APDMA channel waits for its interrupt handler, but
completion callbacks run in the virt-dma tasklet. A callback already
removed from desc_completed can still be running after termination
returns. With no device_synchronize hook, dmaengine_synchronize() does
not wait for that callback either.

Implement the hook using vchan_synchronize(). This lets clients finish
asynchronous cancellation before reusing callback state or freeing DMA
buffers. Keep the callback wait out of device_terminate_all so it can be
performed without locks acquired by the callback.
