From 29e0b471ccbd674d20d4bbddea1a51e7105212c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pratyush Yadav pratyush@kernel.org Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2025 00:29:55 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] spi: cadence-quadspi: Flush posted register writes before INDAC access

cqspi_indirect_read_execute() and cqspi_indirect_write_execute() first set the enable bit on APB region and then start reading/writing to the AHB region. On TI K3 SoCs these regions lie on different endpoints. This means that the order of the two operations is not guaranteed, and they might be reordered at the interconnect level.

It is possible for the AHB write to be executed before the APB write to enable the indirect controller, causing the transaction to be invalid and the write erroring out. Read back the APB region write before accessing the AHB region to make sure the write got flushed and the race condition is eliminated.
