Could you try REGCACHE_FLAT instead, please? Looks like the problem here is rbtree cache does some non-atomic allocations in read / write path when not supplied with default register values.

I suspect not, it looks like the driver is using the cache for suspend/resume handling. I've dropped the patch for now. Either the driver should explicitly write to the relevant registers outside of interrupt context to ensure the cache entry exists or it should keep the defaults and explicitly write them to hardware at startup to ensure sync (the former is more likely to be safe).

Is it acceptable to switch it to flat cache instead to not keep the register defaults in driver? Maciej

That's possibly problematic because the flat cache will of necessity end up with defaults (of 0 from the kzalloc()) for all the registers. You'll still have default values in the cache, though some of the behaviour around optimising syncs does change without them explicitly given. It does deal with the allocation issue but given that the issue was incorrect defaults I'd be a bit concerned.

Granted, all of this regcache stuff was added after I stopped working on this driver, so I'm out of the loop. But it appears that the regcache cannot properly handle an uninitialized cache. I would expect it to know to perform hard reads of any registers that are uninitialized. If the regcache wants to have an initialized cache, then it should automatically perform reads an all non-volatile, non-precious registers at initialization.

I would expect > it to know to perform hard reads of any registers that are uninitialized. regcache handles this fine, it's perfectly happy to just go and allocate the cache as registers get used (this is why the code that's doing the allocation exists...). What is causing problems here is that the first access to the register is happening in interrupt context so we can't do a GFP_KERNEL allocation for it. Most users don't do anything at all in interrupt context so it's not an issue for them, drivers that want to use regmap in interrupt context need to handle this. We can't rely on knowing which registers are valid and which registers can be read without side effects, it's optional for drivers to provide that information. Even with that information it's not always clear that we want to stop and read every single value when we are initialising the device, that might be excessively slow (remember a lot of regmap devices are I2C or SPI connected, some with large register maps). We should have a helper to do that though for drivers where it does make sense.

Considering how small and not-sparse the SSI register space is, would using REGCACHE_FLAT be appropriate?

Quite possibly (it'll be more efficient and it's intended for such use cases) but as I said in my other reply that then has the issue that it implicitly gives default values to all the registers so I'd expect we still need to handle the cache initialisation explicitly (or alternatively the hardware sync with the cache on startup).

Why does REGCACHE_FLAT assume that all registers have a default value of 0? Shouldn't it have the same behavior w.r.t. cache values as REGCACHE_RBTREE?
