t7xx_dpmaif_tx_hw_push_thread(), t7xx_dpmaif_tx_done() and
t7xx_dpmaif_bat_release_work() treat -EACCES from
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() as success and proceed to access the
hardware. That is intentional, but pm_runtime_resume_and_get() has
already dropped the usage count it took before returning -EACCES, so the
unconditional pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() at the end of each context
drops a reference that was never held and drives the usage count
negative.
Only balance the reference when it was actually taken.

t7xx_dpmaif_tx_hw_push_thread() returns, ending the kthread, when
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() fails with anything other than -EACCES.
kthread_run() keeps no extra reference to the task, so the task_struct
can be reaped while dpmaif_ctrl->tx_thread still points at it. A later
t7xx_dpmaif_tx_thread_rel() then calls kthread_stop() on the stale
pointer, which does get_task_struct() on freed memory: a use-after-free.
It also stops TX permanently and silently.
Log the failure and retry after a short back-off instead of exiting, so
the thread stays alive until kthread_stop() tears it down.

Several DPMAIF data-plane contexts call pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and
then access hardware registers. System suspend ignores the runtime PM
reference they hold, so with ASPM L1 enabled and repeated suspend/resume
cycles they can touch the device while the suspend callback tears it
down, ending in a CPU soft lockup:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#N stuck for 26s! [dpmaif_tx_hw_pu]
__pm_runtime_resume+0x5b/0x80
t7xx_dpmaif_tx_hw_push_thread+0xc4 [mtk_t7xx]
Runtime suspend is already safe: while any of these contexts holds its PM
reference the runtime suspend callback cannot run. Only system suspend,
which ignores that reference, is exposed.
Quiesce the DPMAIF data-plane contexts across system suspend:
- Make the TX push kthread freezable (set_freezable(),
wait_event_freezable(), kthread_freezable_should_stop()) so the PM
freezer parks it before dpm_suspend() runs the device suspend
callbacks. kthread_freezable_should_stop() also lets a concurrent
kthread_stop() proceed while the thread is frozen, and a
freezing(current) bail-out in the DRB-ring-full retry loop keeps the
thread from looping there under sustained TX.
- The suspend callback masks interrupts and drains the TX-done workers
(cancel_work_sync(); their producer irq_tx_done is masked and
cancel_work_sync() also blocks a self-requeue). It then calls
t7xx_dpmaif_rx_stop(), which clears que_started and waits for the
in-flight NAPI RX poll to finish, so that poll -- which writes
registers via t7xx_dpmaif_clr_ip_busy_sts() /
t7xx_dpmaif_dlq_unmask_rx_done() -- cannot run after the hardware is
torn down. bat_release_work is cancelled only after rx_stop(), since
its sole producer is that NAPI poll.
The data-plane workqueues are intentionally left non-freezable: marking
them WQ_FREEZABLE would let a flush_work()/cancel_work_sync() from a
context the freezer does not freeze (the FSM kthread, or an unbind
holding device_lock) block until thaw_workqueues(), which can hang the
suspend. Draining them from the suspend callback avoids that.
This covers the DPMAIF data path that produces the observed soft lockup;
the CLDMA control path uses a different mechanism and is out of scope.
Tested with 500+ suspend/resume cycles, SIM registered and ASPM L1
enabled.

t7xx_dpmaif_napi_rx_poll() has an early return taken when the RX queue is
no longer started:
if (!rxq->que_started) {
atomic_set(&rxq->rx_processing, 0);
pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(rxq->dpmaif_ctrl->dev);
dev_err(..., "Work RXQ: %d has not been started\n", rxq->index);
return work_done;
}
work_done is 0 here, so the poll returns less than the budget without
calling napi_complete_done(). Per __napi_poll() (net/core/dev.c) a poll
that returns less than the budget is assumed to have completed the NAPI
itself, so the core does not reschedule it. NAPI_STATE_SCHED is therefore
left set and the NAPI is never polled again.
t7xx_dpmaif_rx_stop() clears que_started without completing the NAPI, on
the MD_STATE_EXCEPTION teardown path as well as on system suspend, so the
next poll takes this early return and strands NAPI_STATE_SCHED. A later
netdev close then hangs:
t7xx_ccmni_close()
t7xx_ccmni_disable_napi()
napi_synchronize() <- spins on NAPI_STATE_SCHED forever
napi_synchronize() runs with rtnl_lock held, so every subsequent rtnl
operation blocks and the network stack wedges (a hung task, not a soft
lockup).
Complete the NAPI on this early return so NAPI_STATE_SCHED is cleared and
napi_synchronize() can make progress. The sleep-lock retry branch just
below already calls napi_complete_done() before rescheduling, so only the
not-started branch needs the fix.
This is a pre-existing bug, independent of the TX/RX data path vs system
PM suspend race fixed earlier in this series. It was only reached once
that race stopped soft-locking the CPU before the teardown could run.
