Description
This PR adds a patch to fix a critical kernel panic in the Rockchip PCIe driver (pcie-dw-rockchip.c) occurring on threaded initialization failure.
Documentation summary for feature / change
When CONFIG_PCIE_RK_THREADED_INIT is enabled, a race condition exists between the probe and remove paths. If the hardware initialization fails (e.g., power supply issues or PHY errors), rk_pcie_remove may execute concurrently with the error handling path in the probe thread.
The original implementation had multiple flaws:
My solution:
The patch refactors the synchronization mechanism using standard kernel APIs:
Testing
[x] Tested on RK3588 platform.
[x] Verified that the kernel boots successfully.
[x] Verified that no regression is introduced for successful probe scenarios.
