Hello there !
I have a custom board, based on a i.MX8mm SoC which has a MIPI-DSI to
eDP bridge (namely, a TI sn65dsi86). This bridge has a DSI enable pin,
which is basically its reset pin, connected to my PCA9539 GPIO expander.
The issue is that this pin can't be sleeping, and it is tested in the
gpiod_set_value() function.
Here is where it fails in my dmesg:

I suppose this is not a corner case and we may have other drivers and
other boards connecting a GPIO which can sleep in a context where it
should not ?
I would like to add one thing: on this board, the expander is routed in
a way that makes it impossible to "sleep" as the reset is forced
pulled-up and the power regulators are fixed and can't be stopped.
I don't know how to address this issue nicely and any thoughts is
appreciated !
Thanks in advance !

Your problem even worse, i.e. ->resume() might sleep.

Can you elaborate why you think there is a problem?

As a workaround you can consider the code around i2c_in_atomic_xfer_mode()
but since I have heard about i.MX8 so many negative remarks which makes me
think that hardware is a train wreck and shouldn't be used at all.

Indeed it is worse ;-).

I didn't know if it could be an issue or not, so I mentioned it but
sounds like a nonsense :-).

Not sure to get the workaround proposal right...
I won't argue about i.MX8 ;-).

Maybe not. I don't know that hardware, schematics and more information
is needed to understand. But I leave it to you.

There are possibilities to have atomic I2C transfers, but as comment
says (on top of the above mentioned function) that is only for PMIC
communications at the system shutdown.
In your case I would try the easiest way (taking into account that
hardware connection is not preventing us from sleeping context), i.e.
check if the function that has GPIO call may sleep on its own and
simply replace gpiod_set_value() by gpiod_set_value_cansleep().

And I found a patch, which is merged in v6.4-rc1 which does exactly this !
