Here is a summary of the changes in this patch series:

1. Fix for race condition in updating of the chan_in_use flag

   Ensures correct updating of the chan_in_use flag to avoid potential race
   conditions.

2. Interrupt handling fix

   Ensures platform acknowledgment interrupts are always cleared to avoid
   leaving the interrupt asserted forever.

3. Endian conversion cleanup

   Removes unnecessary endianness conversion in the PCC mailbox driver.

4. Memory mapping improvements

   Uses acpi_os_ioremap() instead of direct mapping methods for better ACPI
   compatibility.

5. Return early if the command complete register is absent

   Ensures that if no GAS (Generic Address Structure) register is available,
   the function exits early.

6. Refactor IRQ handler and move error handling to a separate function

   Improves readability of error handling in the PCC mailbox driver’s
   interrupt handler.

7. Code restructuring to avoid unnecessary forward declaration

   Moves pcc_mbox_ioremap() function to a more appropriate location with
   no functional impact.

8. Shared memory mapping refactoring/enhancements

   Ensures the shared memory is always mapped and unmapped in the PCC
   mailbox driver when the PCC channel is requested and release.

9. Refactored check_and_ack() Function

   Simplifies and improves the logic for handling type4 platform notification
   acknowledgments.

10-14. Shared memory handling simplifications across multiple drivers

    Simplifies shared memory handling in:
        Kunpeng HCCS driver (soc: hisilicon)
        Apm X-Gene Slimpro I2C driver
        X-Gene hardware monitoring driver (hwmon)
        ACPI PCC driver
        ACPI CPPC driver

The X-gene related changes now change the mapping attributes to align
with ACPI specification. There are possibilities for more cleanups on
top of these changes around how the shmem is accessed within these
driver.

Also, my main aim is to get 1-8 merged first and target 9-13 for
following merge window through respective tree.

Overall, the patch series focuses on improving correctness, efficiency, and
maintainability of the PCC mailbox driver and related components by fixing
race conditions, optimizing memory handling, simplifying shared memory
interactions, and refactoring code for clarity.

Adam, Robbie, Huisong,

Please test this in your setup as you are the ones reporting/fixing the
issues or last modified the code that I am changing here.

Changes in v2:
- Improved time vs flow graph for the platform ack interrupt
  acknowledgment issue in patch 2
- Replaced PCC_ACK_FLAG_MASK with PCC_CMD_COMPLETION_NOTIFY in patch 3
- Fixed return value check from pcc_mbox_error_check_and_clear() in patch 6
- Dropped the change moving the function pcc_mbox_ioremap()
- Adjusted error message in kunpeng_hccs driver after the change
- Added the received ack/review tags
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250303-pcc_fixes_updates-v1-0-3b44f3d134b1@arm.com

Huisong,

Thanks a lot for all the testing and review.

Adam, Robbie,

Can you please help me with the testing on your platforms ?

The XGene patch did not apply on top of Linus's current tree. The other 
patches applied OK.


I only had to make one modification to my patch to remove the call to 
‘pcc_mbox_ioremap’,  as it is performed in the pcc_mbox_request_channel 
call instead. With that change, my driver continues to work. I will 
submit another version here shortly.

I like the direction that this change is pushing, making the mailbox 
layer the owner for other drivers.

Yes Guenter had mentioned it in his review. I have it rebased locally [1]
but yet to push out v3 on the list.

Nice, I wasn't aware of the Ampere driver using ioremap. Is it posted on
the list ? Or are you saying you will post it soon.

Thanks for testing. Please provide tested-by for patch 1-8 if you are
happy with it.

Yes it was long due. I had changes in my WIP but was away when you changes
got merged. Otherwise I would have asked you to do some of the changes in
this series. My bad, couldn't review your patches unfortunately.

It is posted to net-next.

I will post an updated version once this series goes in.  I don't expect 
it to merge for this kernel due to the dependency, but the code will be 
better for this change.

Happy to do so.

Thanks a lot for your time and testing. Much appreciated!
