Commit Message

Sekhar Nori May 9, 2018, 11 a.m. UTC
A well timed kernel preemption in the time_after() loop
in wait_for_idle() can result in a spurious timeout
error to be returned.

Fix it by using readl_poll_timeout() which takes care of
this issue.

v2: use readl_poll_timeout() per suggestion from Andrew.

The issue has not been personally observed by me, but has
been reported by users. Sending for next-next given the
non-critical nature. There is seems to be no easy way to
reproduce this.

Hi Sekhar

You could simplify this to:

> +		dev_err(data->dev, "timed out waiting for idle\n");
