It's possible for the completion in ipc_wait_for_interrupt() to timeout, simply because the interrupt was delayed in being processed. A timeout in itself is not an error. This driver should check the status register upon a timeout to ensure that scheduling or interrupt processing delays don't affect the outcome of the IPC return value. CPU0 SCU ---- --- ipc_wait_for_interrupt() wait_for_completion_timeout(&scu->cmd_complete) [TIMEOUT] status[IPC_BUSY]=0 Fix this problem by reading the status bit in all cases, regardless of the timeout. If the completion times out, we'll assume the problem was that the IPC_BUSY bit was still set, but if the status bit is cleared in the meantime we know that we hit some scheduling delay and we should just check the error bit.
