🌸 NAME 🌸

tegra_qspi_handle_timeout — handle a transfer timeout, but with a hardware check first 🕵️‍♀️💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int tegra_qspi_handle_timeout (struct tegra_qspi *tqspi );

no cap, that's the whole signature. copy it exactly, spaces and all 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tqspi — the QSPI controller instance 💫 like, the actual controller object you're dealing with.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: a timeout happens 😭 but the hardware has already finished the transfer — the interrupt just got lost or delayed, which is so rude of it honestly. when that happens, this function steps in and manually triggers the transfer completion processing 🔥

the whole point? it avoids failing transfers that actually succeeded. like, not me letting a perfectly good transfer flop just because the interrupt was late 💀 slay behavior, honestly.

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• 0 — transfer was completed ✅ iconic, we love a happy ending
• -ETIMEDOUT — a real timeout 😔 the genuine article, no hardware excuse
