RFC PATCH 1/1 musb: Avoid musb_gadget_pullup "Unhandled fault" oops on omap4

I've recently run across an "Unhandled fault: imprecise external abort" oops that is caused when a driver called usb_gadget_connect() when there was no cable plugged into the musb gadget port.

You can see the oops message here:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/75635123/minicom.txt

Doing some digging, it seemed the problem was triggered when reading from the musb registers in musb_pullup() when the device controller is powered down.

Looking at other examples of where the registers were accessed, I noticed they were always enclosed by pm_runtime_get/put calls. So I added such calls to the musb_gadget_pullup() function and it seemed to resolve the problem.

Now, full disclosure: this was triggered with the out-of-tree Android adb gadget driver. However, I suspect the same behavior could be triggered using the composite gadget driver as well, so I think this is a generic issue. However, if I'm wrong, let me know and I'll try to make sure the fix is done in the right place.

If this is the right fix, it probably should be queued for 3.1 and 3.0-stable.

Comments and feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I'll start looking into fixes once linus tags v3.1-rc0 ;-) This is in my queue though, I'll start testing soon :-D

usb: musb: fix oops on musb_gadget_pullup

an 'unhandled fault' is causes when a gadget driver calls usb_gadget_connect() while the USB cable isn't plugged into the OTG port.

the fault is caused by an access to MUSB's memory space while its clock is turned off due to pm_runtime kicking in.

in order to fix the fault, we enclose musb_gadget_pullup() with pm_runtime_get_sync() ... pm_runtime_put() calls to be sure we will always reach that path with clock turned on.

musb_pullup can get called from usb_function_deactivate in atomic context (usb_function_deactivate -> usb_gadget_disconnect -> musb_pullup), and pm_runtime_get_sync is not safe in atomic context unless pm_runtime_irq_safe has been called in musb-core.c (which I'm not sure it is safe to do).

Since this already gets called in atomic context, you might as well put the irq-safe pm_runtime calls inside the if statement, and avoid unnecessary wakeups.
