There are two problems with the current vfe_disable_output() routine.
Firstly we rightly use a spinlock to protect output->gen2.active_num
everywhere except for in the IDLE timeout path of vfe_disable_output().
Even if that is not racy "in practice" somehow it is by happenstance not
by design.
Secondly we do not get consistent behaviour from this routine. On
sc8280xp 50% of the time I get "VFE idle timeout - resetting". In this
case the subsequent capture will succeed. The other 50% of the time, we
don't hit the idle timeout, never do the VFE reset and subsequent
captures stall indefinitely.
Rewrite the vfe_disable_output() routine to
- Quiesce write masters with vfe_wm_stop()
- Set active_num = 0
remembering to hold the spinlock when we do so followed by
- Reset the VFE
Testing on sc8280xp and sdm845 shows this to be a valid fix.

README
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.
