OMAP3: PM: Prevent hang in prcm_interrupt_handler
There are two scenarios where a race condition could result in a hang
in the prcm_interrupt handler. These are:
1). Waiting for PRM_IRQSTATUS_MPU register to clear.
Bit 0 of the PRM_IRQSTATUS_MPU register indicates that a wake-up event
is pending for the MPU. This bit can only be cleared if the all the
wake-up events latched in the various PM_WKST_x registers have been
cleared. If a wake-up event occurred during the processing of the prcm
interrupt handler, after the corresponding PM_WKST_x register was
checked but before the PRM_IRQSTATUS_MPU was cleared, then the CPU
would be stuck forever waiting for bit 0 in PRM_IRQSTATUS_MPU to be
cleared.
2). Waiting for the PM_WKST_x register to clear.
Some power domains have more than one wake-up source. The PM_WKST_x
registers indicate the source of a wake-up event and need to be cleared
after a wake-up event occurs. When the PM_WKST_x registers are read and
before they are cleared, it is possible that another wake-up event
could occur causing another bit to be set in one of the PM_WKST_x
registers. If this did occur after reading a PM_WKST_x register then
the CPU would miss this event and get stuck forever in a loop waiting
for that PM_WKST_x register to clear.
This patch address the above race conditions that would result in a
hang.
