Hello,

I am facing a kernel crash (Oops) on an STM32MP2 platform while using UART with DMA. The issue occurs during runtime power management resume.

Environment
Platform: STM32MP2 (custom board)
Kernel: 6.6.78 (OpenSTLinux - Yocto Scarthgap)
UART driver: stm32_usart
DMA: Enabled
Workqueue: pm_runtime_work

Observations:
Crash happens in DMA virtual channel submission
Triggered during runtime resume (PM)
Address dead000000000xxx suggests:
Use-after-free, or
Uninitialized / corrupted DMA descriptor

Are there any patches or recommended fixes for this scenario?
