This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi: qup: Request DMA before enabling clocks to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: spi-qup-request-dma-before-enabling-clocks.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6da709ce00ed3927ab75f1095807d87b6f61946f Author: Stephan Gerhold <stephan@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 18 15:04:25 2023 +0200 spi: qup: Request DMA before enabling clocks [ Upstream commit 0c331fd1dccfba657129380ee084b95c1cedfbef ] It is usually better to request all necessary resources (clocks, regulators, ...) before starting to make use of them. That way they do not change state in case one of the resources is not available yet and probe deferral (-EPROBE_DEFER) is necessary. This is particularly important for DMA channels and IOMMUs which are not enforced by fw_devlink yet (unless you use fw_devlink.strict=1). spi-qup does this in the wrong order, the clocks are enabled and disabled again when the DMA channels are not available yet. This causes issues in some cases: On most SoCs one of the SPI QUP clocks is shared with the UART controller. When using earlycon UART is actively used during boot but might not have probed yet, usually for the same reason (waiting for the DMA controller). In this case, the brief enable/disable cycle ends up gating the clock and further UART console output will halt the system completely. Avoid this by requesting the DMA channels before changing the clock state.
