[PATCH v3] regmap: add iopoll-like atomic polling macro

[PATCH v3] regmap: add iopoll-like atomic polling macro

[Sameer Pujar]

This patch adds a macro 'regmap_read_poll_timeout_atomic' that works
similar to 'readx_poll_timeout_atomic' defined in linux/iopoll.h; This
is atomic version of already available 'regmap_read_poll_timeout' macro.

It should be noted that above atomic macro cannot be used by all regmaps.
If the regmap is set up for atomic use (flat or no cache and MMIO) then
only it can use.

I was trying to use regmap_read_poll_timeout() to poll for status change 
of a register. This resulted in "BUG: scheduling while atomic". The 
callback function, in which I was trying to use the macro, runs in 
atomic context. Hence new atomic macro is added. I was checking ALSA 
playback/capture and trigger() callback had to monitor some register status.

In general, the new macro can be used in atomic callbacks where regmap 
interface is used and polling is required.

You should send a full patchset because it may turn out that the patch
which makes use of the new feature isn't correct or maybe the new
feature isn't really needed.

If there was a previous discussion about the need for this change, then
you should provide a link to that discussion.

Please note that usually changes without a real use-case in kernel are
not getting picked up or they are getting removed later on if nobody
makes use of them, so I assume this is a kind of an RFC patch for now.

Applied "regmap: add iopoll-like atomic polling macro" to the regmap tree

[Mark Brown]

The patch

   regmap: add iopoll-like atomic polling macro

has been applied to the regmap tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap.git for-5.6

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
