--- Patch [3]: [PATCH v2 3/4] spi: amlogic: spisg: Fix the incorrect keep_ss of the last descriptor ---

spi: amlogic: spisg: Fix the incorrect keep_ss of the last descriptor

This commit fixes the incorrect handling of the keep_ss state for the last
descriptor in the Amlogic SPISG driver. It ensures the CFG_KEEP_SS bit is
properly set based on the final transfer's cs_change value, ensuring the
chip select behaves correctly even when a cs-hold delay is present.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does calling spi_finalize_current_message()
before releasing the hardware lock open a race window for the next transfer?

In aml_spisg_transfer_one_message(), we have:

	msg->status = ret;
	spi_finalize_current_message(ctlr);
	aml_spisg_sem_up_write(spisg);

Since spi_finalize_current_message() signals the SPI core that the controller
is ready, could the SPI core immediately dispatch the next transfer on another
CPU, which then fails aml_spisg_sem_down_read() and aborts with -EBUSY?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the target abort handler
incorrectly signal a successful transfer?

In aml_spisg_target_abort():

	spisg->status = 0;
	regmap_write(spisg->map, SPISG_REG_DESC_LIST_H, 0);
	complete(&spisg->completion);

And in aml_spisg_transfer_one_message():

	if (wait_for_completion_timeout(&spisg->completion,
					spi_controller_is_target(spisg->controller) ?
					MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT : msecs_to_jiffies(ms))) {
		ret = spisg->status ? -EIO : 0;

If a transfer is aborted, status is set to 0 and the wait completes. Does
this cause the SPI client to incorrectly interpret an aborted transfer as
fully successful?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but do the probe error path and remove
functions leak PM runtime references?

In aml_spisg_probe(), the out_clk error path exits without disabling
PM runtime:

out_clk:
	if (spisg->core)
		clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->core);
	clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->pclk);

	return ret;

Additionally, aml_spisg_remove() does not call pm_runtime_disable():

static void aml_spisg_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
...
	if (!pm_runtime_suspended(&pdev->dev)) {

Does this prevent the device's power domain from suspending and cause
a kernel warning when rebinding?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but are the devm-managed clocks
being double-disabled?

In aml_spisg_clk_init(), pclk is explicitly disabled:

	clk_set_min_rate(spisg->pclk, SPISG_PCLK_RATE_MIN);

	clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->pclk);

In the aml_spisg_probe() error path, both clocks are manually disabled:

out_clk:
	if (spisg->core)
		clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->core);
	clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->pclk);

And in aml_spisg_remove(), they are disabled again:

		clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->core);
		clk_disable_unprepare(spisg->pclk);

Since these clocks are acquired using devm_clk_get_enabled(), which
automatically registers a cleanup action, will manually disabling them
underflow the clock enable count and trigger warnings from the clock
framework?
