Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 1/2] net: pse-pd: add devm_pse_poll_helper()

From: Carlo Szelinsky <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 14:44:27 +0200

Extract the common event handling loop from pse_isr() into a shared
pse_handle_events() function, and add a generic poll-based alternative
to the IRQ path for PSE controllers that lack interrupt support or
have IRQ lines not wired on the board.

The new devm_pse_poll_helper() function sets up a delayed work that
periodically calls the driver's map_event callback to detect state
changes, feeding events into the existing ntf_fifo / pse_send_ntf_worker
notification pipeline. This reuses the same pse_irq_desc interface as
the IRQ path — the driver provides a map_event callback that populates
per-PI notification arrays.

The poll worker uses system_freezable_wq to avoid running during system
suspend when the underlying hardware (e.g. I2C bus) may be inaccessible.

Work cancellation on teardown is handled via devm_add_action_or_reset()
to ensure the delayed work is cancelled before poll_notifs is freed
by devres, avoiding a use-after-free when devm_pse_poll_helper() is
called after devm_pse_controller_register() (devres LIFO ordering).

The poll interval defaults to 500ms if not set by the driver, balancing
responsiveness against bus load (e.g. I2C).
