Some devices tend to trigger SYS_ERR interrupt while the host handling SYS_ERR state of the device during power up. This creates a race condition and causes a failure in booting up the device.
The issue is seen on the Sierra Wireless EM9191 modem during SYS_ERR handling in mhi_async_power_up(). Once the host detects that the device is in SYS_ERR state, it issues MHI_RESET and waits for the device to process the reset request. During this time, the device triggers SYS_ERR
Device is not triggering the SYS_ERR interrupt, interrupt was triggered due to MHI RESET was getting cleared by device.
Shouldn't the device state be RESET and not SYS_ERR at that point?
The device will enter SYS_ERR (and trigger an interrupt for that). Host issues MHI_RESET. Device is expected to clear SYS_ERR and enter the RESET state. Then the device clears MHI_RESET. Device can then trigger an interrupt to signal the state change (per the updated spec).
Dmesg log was showing first sys err was triggered by device, as part of sys error handling host was setting MHI_RESET and expecting to get BHI Intvec. When BHI intvec was triggered by device, host handled it by checking the MHI status register. MHi status was still showing SYS_ERR being set (which was supposed to get cleared after host issuing MHI RESET). Due to that host side bhi intvec threaded handler took diff path to handle sys error again. This is what we are trying to avoid as we think for some reason device is not behaving as per spec and either setting sys err again or not clearing it by the time bhi intvec (for reset clear) is handled by host.
I was going to add my reviewed-by, but I'm confused by your comment.
