[PATCH v4 05/10] media: microchip-isc: do not touch WB registers when not streaming

Message-ID <20260803-balki-isc-prefix-fixes-v1-v4-5-f625d6aa0ae1@microchip.com>
isc_s_awb_ctrl() called isc_update_awb_ctrls() unconditionally, writing
the white balance registers even when the device is runtime suspended;
on many ARM platforms accessing the unclocked registers is an external
abort. The write was also done without awb_lock, racing isc_awb_work(),
which holds it so the DMA done IRQ cannot latch a half-updated pipeline.

Write the registers only while streaming and not stopping, under
awb_lock, and update the profile there. The isc->stop check covers the
window where isc_stop_streaming() has gated the clocks but vb2 still
reports streaming. Otherwise the new values stay cached and
isc_configure() programs them at the next stream start.

Fixes: 4e52889f48fe ("media: atmel: atmel-isc-base: expose white balance as v4l2 controls")
