Thanks for this question. In theory you are right. In this case, the
bus already hang.
We only printed a fail log in this patch. If this fail happens, we
should request the master to check which case cause the larb hang.
If the master has a good reason or limitation, the hang is expected, I
think we have to add larb reset in this fail case: Reset the larb when
the larb runtime resume.
Fortunately, we have never got this issue. We could add this reset when
necessary. Is this OK for you?
Thanks.
