I'm just wondering out loud - considering we have the case where we update a register and then spin waiting for a command completion - is it in fact logically valid to have a concurrent reader read out the power state - when another writer is executing mid_pwr_wait() - for example. /* Wait 500ms that the latest PWRMU command finished */ static int mid_pwr_wait(struct mid_pwr *pwr) { unsigned int count = 500000; bool busy; do { busy = mid_pwr_is_busy(pwr); if (!busy) return 0; udelay(1); } while (--count); return -EBUSY; } static int mid_pwr_wait_for_cmd(struct mid_pwr *pwr, u8 cmd) { writel(PM_CMD_CMD(cmd) | PM_CMD_CM_IMMEDIATE, pwr->regs + PM_CMD); return mid_pwr_wait(pwr); } static int __update_power_state(struct mid_pwr *pwr, int reg, int bit, int new) { <snip> /* Update the power state */ mid_pwr_set_state(pwr, reg, (power & ~(3 << bit)) | (new << bit)); /* Send command to SCU */ ret = mid_pwr_wait_for_cmd(pwr, CMD_SET_CFG); if (ret) return ret; <snip> } anyway... I've tested your patch and it looks good. We can otherwise defer to andy on the usage of the mutex.
