Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] bus: mhi: core: Add support to stop or start channel data transfers

Some MHI client drivers may want to request a pause or halt of
data transfer activity on their channels. Support for this does
not exist and must be introduced, wherein the channel context is
not reset or cleared but only the STOP channel command is issued.
This would need to be paired with an API that allows resuming the
data transfer activity on channels by use of the START channel
command. This API assumes that the context information is already
setup. Enable this using two new APIs, mhi_start_transfer() and
mhi_stop_transfer().

Hmm. The documentation about wait_for_completion*() used in
mhi_update_channel_state()says below,

"As all variants of wait_for_completion() can (obviously) block for a long
time depending on the nature of the activity they are waiting for, so in
most cases you probably don't want to call this with held mutexes."

Yes, that is understood. The mhi_chan->mutex is only used to lock any
channel
enable/start/stop/disable type operations, since these have to be in
order, it
is essential that we wait for one of the operations to finish before the
next
one.

Also we avoid a race, for example, at a time when a device crash forces
a driver
"remove" call, while an operation to start/stop a channel is already
going on.

So I am trying to follow the documentation style for other functions in
the same
file. Is there any particular format you want me to refer to?

I use all spaces for the lines after the first one to align them just
like the
rest of them.

Can't you just drop the lock before calling wait_for_completion() and
acquire later? You should add a comment for that also!

So, based on the MHI device sending a command completion, we do not
expect to
receive it out of order and for tighter control, we also do not want to
allow
multiple commands to be issued unless one has been responded to or times
out due
to reasons outside of MHI's control.

We share a common completion variable for a channel and multiple
commands issued
for channel state changes can result in the completions being
mishandled.

For example, if we send two commands for the same channel - stop and
reset and
end up dropping/re-acquiring the lock while waiting for stop channel
completion
as a response, we could see a reinit_completion() before the complete()
and the
waiter keeps waiting as a result because the complete() is not seen till
the
next command response comes in. We may also have to move to
complete_all() for
this purpose, as these could come from different threads.

Another example is a failure to move states could be seen when dropping
and
re-acquiring the lock if stop and start channel commands are issued back
to back
whereas we will not see the issue with current behavior as a start will
wait for
a stop to fully complete.

I don't see an extra space. Is that it? All functions I see are of the
style:
/**
* foo - function desc

* @param: Desc
