My mind boggles when it comes to thinking how this interacts with a
second failure of the same type.  For that level of paranoia I think
you really do need to recurse onto the next fallback bit... (And then
unwind the acks all the way back.) If the bug happens twice, the
ack_clear following the clear is shortcircuited, so the subsequent
write+ack_set is ill-defined, and may not even be noticed.

Ok, I can see how this would work if the register was updated on edge
events, and one of those went missing. On the second ack, the refresh of
the register would see both bits set.

I think you want to insert a variable udelay (say 10*pass) between the
FALLBACK write + wait_ack_set(). I would also move the loops together to
make that pass known.

/me channeling Joonas

Stick that ternary into a local for readability.

Since this is the fallback path, we can afford a DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER here.
