vfe-480 is copied from vfe-17x and has the same racy idle timeout bug as in

Fix the vfe_disable_output() logic to no longer be racy and to conform
to the 17x way of quiescing and then resetting the VFE.
How about dropping the duplicate function and share a single
implementation for the two files ?


Hmm, so I looked at this.

In principle I like it. Right now vfe-170 only deals with a single write-master = 0, whereas vfe-480 deals with multiple write-masters.

Collapsing down into one place is the right thing to do however, it feels like a larger update to vfe-170 that merits its own series along the lines of "Support multiple write-masters for vfe-17x" or better still "Support virtual channels for vfe-17x" which is what is implied by this.

Yet another thing to add to the TODO list here.
