SubjectRe: [PATCH] soc: ti: wkup_m3_ipc: Fix race condition with rproc_boot
Hi,

* Dave Gerlach <d-gerlach@ti.com> [191211 20:02]:
> Any user of wkup_m3_ipc calls wkup_m3_ipc_get to get a handle and this
> checks the value of the static variable m3_ipc_state to see if the
> wkup_m3 is ready. Currently this is populated during probe before
> rproc_boot has been called, meaning there is a window of time that
> wkup_m3_ipc_get can return a valid handle but the wkup_m3 itself is not
> ready, leading to invalid IPC calls to the wkup_m3 and system

> is always returned.

Santosh, do you want me to pick this one into my fixes branch?

Regards,

Tony
