[ Upstream commit 1e61f6ab08786d66a11cfc51e13d6f08a6b06c56 ]
This patch fixes a race condition communication error, which ends up in PD hard resets when losing the race. Some systems, like the Radxa ROCK 5B are powered through USB-C without any backup power source and use a FUSB302 chip to do the PD negotiation. This means it is quite important to avoid hard resets, since that effectively kills the system's power-supply.
I've found the following race condition while debugging unplanned power loss during booting the board every now and then:
1. lots of TCPM/FUSB302/PD initialization stuff 2. TCPM ends up in SNK_WAIT_CAPABILITIES (tcpm_set_pd_rx is enabled here) 3. the remote PD source does not send anything, so TCPM does a SOFT RESET 4. TCPM ends up in SNK_WAIT_CAPABILITIES for the second time (tcpm_set_pd_rx is enabled again, even though it is still on)
At this point I've seen broken CRC good messages being send by the FUSB302 with a logic analyzer sniffing the CC lines. Also it looks like messages are being lost and things generally going haywire with one of the two sides doing a hard reset once a broken CRC good message was send to the bus.
I think the system is running into a race condition, that the FIFOs are being cleared and/or the automatic good CRC message generation flag is being updated while a message is already arriving.
Let's avoid this by caching the PD RX enabled state, as we have already processed anything in the FIFOs and are in a good state. As a side effect that this also optimizes I2C bus usage :)
As far as I can tell the problem theoretically also exists when TCPM enters SNK_WAIT_CAPABILITIES the first time, but I believe this is less critical for the following reason:
On devices like the ROCK 5B, which are powered through a TCPM backed USB-C port, the bootloader must have done some prior PD communication (initial communication must happen within 5 seconds after plugging the USB-C plug). This means the first time the kernel TCPM state machine reaches SNK_WAIT_CAPABILITIES, the remote side is not sending messages actively. On other devices a hard reset simply adds some extra delay and things should be good afterwards.
