If firmware loading fails, the controller's pm_state is updated to
MHI_PM_FW_DL_ERR unconditionally. This can corrupt the pm_state as the
update is not done under the proper lock, and also does not validate
the state transition. The firmware loading can fail due to a detected
syserr, but if MHI_PM_FW_DL_ERR is unconditionally set as the pm_state,
the handling of the syserr can break when it attempts to transition from
syserr detect, to syserr process.
By grabbing the lock, we ensure we don't race with some other pm_state
update. By using mhi_try_set_pm_state(), we check that the transition
to MHI_PM_FW_DL_ERR is valid via the state machine logic. If it is not
valid, then some other transition is occurring like syserr processing, and
we assume that will resolve the firmware loading error.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
