v4 cover Updates to MHI channel handling

MHI specification shows a state machine with support for STOP channel command and the validity of certain state transitions. MHI host currently does not provide any mechanism to stop a channel and restart it without resetting it. There are also times when the device moves on to a different execution environment while client drivers on the host are unaware of it and still attempt to reset the channels facing unnecessary timeouts.

This series addresses the above areas to provide support for stopping an MHI channel, resuming it back, improved documentation and improving upon channel state machine handling in general.

This set of patches was tested on arm64 architecture.

v4:
-Updated commit text/descriptions and addressed checkpatch checks -Added context validity check before starting/stopping channels from new API -Added patch to clear channel context configuration after reset/unprepare

v3:
-Updated documentation for channel transfer APIs to highlight differences -Create separate patch for "allowing channel to be disabled from stopped state"

v2:
-Renamed the newly introduced APIs to mhi_start_transfer() / mhi_stop_transfer() -Added improved documentation to avoid confusion with the new APIs -Removed the __ prefix from mhi_unprepare_channel() API for consistency.

PATCH v4 1/8 bus: mhi: core: Allow sending the STOP channel command

Add support to allow sending the STOP channel command. If a client driver would like to STOP a channel and have the device retain the channel context instead of issuing a RESET to it and clearing the context, this would provide support for it after the ability to send this command is exposed to clients.

PATCH v4 2/8 bus: mhi: core: Allow channel to be disabled from stopped state

In reply to Bhaumik Bhatt

If a channel was explicitly stopped but not reset, allow it to move to a disabled state so that the channel context can be cleaned up after a driver remove is issued. Since the channel remained in stopped state, its context on the device is not cleared. Allow this move if a client driver module is unloaded or a device crash occurs.

PATCH v4 3/8 bus: mhi: core: Improvements to the channel handling state machine

In reply to Bhaumik Bhatt

Improve the channel handling state machine such that all commands go through a common function and validation process to ensure that the state machine is not violated in any way and adheres to the MHI specification.

PATCH v4 4/8 bus: mhi: core: Clear configuration from channel context during reset

In reply to Bhaumik Bhatt

When clearing up the channel context after client drivers are done using channels, the configuration is currently not being reset entirely. Ensure this is done to appropriately handle issues where clients unaware of the context state end up calling functions which expect a context.

PATCH v4 5/8 bus: mhi: core: Add support to stop or start channel data transfers

In reply to Bhaumik Bhatt

Some MHI client drivers may want to request a pause or halt of data transfer activity on their channels. Support for this does not exist and must be introduced, wherein the channel context is not reset or cleared but only the STOP channel command is issued. This would need to be paired with an API that allows resuming the data transfer activity on channels by use of the START channel command. Enable this using two new APIs, mhi_start_transfer() and mhi_stop_transfer().

PATCH v4 6/8 bus: mhi: core: Check channel execution environment before issuing reset

In reply to Bhaumik Bhatt

A client can attempt to unprepare certain channels for transfer even after the execution environment they are supposed to run in has changed. In the event that happens, the device need not be notified of the reset and the host can proceed with clean up for the channel context and memory allocated for it on the host as the device will no longer be able to respond to such a request.

PATCH v4 8/8 bus: mhi: Improve documentation on channel transfer setup APIs

In reply to Bhaumik Bhatt

The mhi_prepare_for_transfer() and mhi_unprepare_from_transfer() APIs could use better explanation, especially with the addition of two new APIs to start and stop the transfers on channels. Add better set of information for those APIs.
