Description

The lc_ctrl_fsm tries to do an OTP request to the OTP partition after an RMA operation. This does not work anymore because the OTP is inside the RRAM and the RRAM is disabled after the RMA operation has completed.

The short term fix for now, the disabling of the RRAM after the RMA is disabled. But a proper solution is required.

Research direction

Start with the lc_ctrl_fsm flow described in the issue and trace its OTP request after RMA completion, then inspect how RRAM is disabled at that point. A complete fix must provide a proper post-RMA OTP access path rather than relying on the short-term RRAM-disabling change; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
