From c6e8d85fafa7193613db37da29c0e8d6e2515b13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Shahrouzi gshahrouzi@gmail.com Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2025 20:43:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] staging: axis-fifo: Remove hardware resets for user errors
The axis-fifo driver performs a full hardware reset (via reset_ip_core()) in several error paths within the read and write functions. This reset flushes both TX and RX FIFOs and resets the AXI-Stream links.
Allow the user to handle the error without causing hardware disruption or data loss in other FIFO paths.
