[PATCH v3 4/4] drm/vc4: dsi: Recover from a timed-out transfer
From: Henry Zhang
Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 15:18:05 EST
When a transfer times out, vc4_dsi_host_transfer() disables the
command, resets the FIFOs and returns -ETIMEDOUT. That is not always
enough: after an LP receive timeout during a read (the peripheral did
not complete the bus turnaround), every following transfer times out
as well, with no interrupt and STAT reading back 0. Only a modeset,
which goes through post_disable/pre_enable, brings the block back.
Reset the DSI block and its analog front end after a timeout and restore
the configuration programmed in pre_enable, in the same order as
pre_enable: the block is ungated and the AFE released only after the
timings are programmed. Before resetting, wait for the interrupt
handler, so that a late completion interrupt of the timed-out transfer
cannot complete the next one, and mask the interrupts until the AFE is
out of reset: the error interrupts otherwise fire continuously while it
is held in reset. The timed-out message is not resent, as it may already
have been executed by the peripheral; the error is returned and the
caller decides whether to retry.
Only do this while the block is enabled. Between post_disable and
pre_enable the clocks are off and there is nothing to restore; a
transfer then times out as before. The transfer lock keeps the
recovery from running in the middle of pre_enable or post_disable.
This does not prevent the timeouts themselves. With video running,
vc4 does not keep commands within vertical blanking, and transfers can
still time out, sometimes several in a row after a reset. That is a
separate issue.
