r_dp_valid_i needs to be checked before shifting data to prevent unintended behavior.
Root Cause:
src_prot may retain its value from the previous data movement. When using AXI Stream as src_prot, whether it retains the previous value depends on the capacity of the stream FIFO (NumAxInFlight) and the number of entries used during the last data movement. As a result, src_prot can remain unchanged.
Then if data is shifted into the buffer without verifying r_dp_valid_i, it can cause an unintended state where the data buffer is no longer empty. This will trigger unintended behavior at the write end of the buffer.
