Implement the new runtime PM framework as a thin layer on top of the

While the runtime PM API has three main states (idle, suspend, resume)

Hi Kevin,

Hi Grant. ?Thanks for the review and suggestions.

You shouldn't hijack the platform bus in this way, for a number of
reasons. ?Not all platform devices in an OMAP system are internal OMAP
devices (as you know since you do an explicit check for omap devices).
?Right there that says that the abstraction is at the wrong level.
What happens when an mostly transparent bridge is added with its own
peripherals and its own special operations? ?Does this routine then
need to be extended for each new special case? ?It's not maintainable
in the long run.

This approach is also not multiplatform friendly (cc'ing Eric and
Nicolas who are working on ARM multiplatform). ?It won't work for
building a kernel that supports, say, both versatile and OMAP.

Totally agree here, but this a separate issue not specifically created
by this series (it was created when runtime PM support for SH was
added), but indeed I am continuining bad behavior. :/

I think I could successfully argue that ARM is more important that SH.
 If SH messes up it's sandbox the collateral damage isn't nearly so
severe.  Don't follow the SH lead in this case.

The issue is that the current method to override bus methods is by
overriding weak symbols. ?This clearly doesn't scale to support multiple
platforms in the same image.

Agreed.  It scales better to change the hooks at runtime, which is
actually quite easy, but it still leaves the abstraction at the wrong
level.

quoted

What would be needed (if we continue to override the platform_bus
methods) is to have some sort of register function for overriding these
methods. ?I'll look into that based on the result of discussions
below...

quoted

The kernel already has the facility to do what you need. ?We talked
about it briefly at ELC, and now that I look at it closer, I thing
gregkh is absolutely right. ?Just create a new bus type for OMAP
devices. ?It is simple to add one. ?You can probably even call out to
the platform bus ops for most of the operations. ?The fact that OMAP
devices have special behaviour that needs to be handled at the bus
type level means that they are not platform devices anymore. ?This
also eliminates all the omap_device_is_valid and OMAP_DEVICE_MAGIC
gymnastics.

I see from the comments in omap_device.c that doing an
omap_bus/omap_device is being considered anyway. ?Please don't merge
this patch and do the omap_bus_type instead.

Agreed, it is logicially simpler in many ways and as you've noticed,
we've been discussing it in the OMAP community.

However, I keep coming back to extending the platform bus, primarily
since the resulting new bus code would look almost identical to the
platform bus. ?All I really needed is the ability to extend a small
subset of the PM functions, so this led to me the "extend instead of
duplicate" approach.

In addition, I really don't want to duplicate all the platform_driver
and platform_device code, again because it would be identical but
especially since this would seriously impact many drivers. ?For drivers
that are used on OMAP and also on other platforms, do we want drivers to
know (or care) if they are on the platform bus or on the OMAP bus?

Some questions to make sure I understand:
Do you have a lot of these cases?

Yes, there are several.

There are several instances of hardware blocks that are re-used across
OMAP and DaVinci but where the device clocking and PM infrastructure is
totally different.  Runtime PM helps a lot here in that all the details
can be done in low-level, SoC specific code.  

There are even cases of OMAP-derivative parts that will change clocking
or change (or remove) PM internal details and require special handling.
We want to be able to use the same driver for all these, and not care
if it's an OMAP, Davinci, OMAP-derivative etc.

There's also the special case of the MUSB driver which is on OMAP,
Davinci and Blackfin.

Do non-OMAP devices also have to process the omap clock enable/disable
code too, or is this only for stuff that is internal to the chip?

This is only for on-chip devices.  But as I said above, there are
on-chip devices on OMAP that are used on other platforms, and the driver
should be re-usable, without OMAP-specific knowledge.

Or is this the case where existing non-omap device drivers can also
drive the omap SoC hardware?

quoted

I think this is how it is done for OF devices, but I'm not crazy about
that approach (after our discussions at ELC, I remember thinking you'd
been through this with the OF devices as well and are moving towards
using platform_bus/platform_device for those too. ?Did I understand
correctly?)

Yes, I've got patches which merge of_platform_bus_type with the
platform bus.  This was an easy decision to make because the
of-specific bits (specifically, matching an of_device_id table with a
device tree node) are applicable to all bus types; i2c, spi, mdio,
platform, etc).  The needed OF data structures have been moved into
struct device and struct device_driver so that of_platform_bus_type no
longer has anything different.

The drivers still need to care about OF when extra platform data needs
to be extracted from the DT node, but for IRQs and register ranges it
is automatic.

Does that mean the drivers are still doing platform_get_resource() for
either platform devices or OF devices, or are does the driver have to
know which bus it was on and call accordingly.  It's the latter that I
want to stay away from.

The omap case looks different.  You've got special runtime pm ops that
you want to hook in; but only for omap_devices.  It doesn't really
apply to more than one bus type in the system.

quoted

This affects many aspects of all drivers, from register and probe (for
early devices/drivers too!) to all the plaform_get_resource() usage, all
of which assumes a platform_driver and platform_device. ?I didn't look
closely, but I didn't see if (or how) OF was handling early devices.

You don't have to reimplement the entire platform bus.  You could
simply create a new bus type, but reuse all the existing platform bus
code.  All that changes is the bus type that the device and the driver
gets registered on.  Then you could easily replace only the functions
that matter.  (do a git grep platform_bus_type to see how few
references there actually are.  It looks like there are only 5
references to it in drivers/base/platform.c that you'd need to work
around; in platform_device_add(), platform_driver_register(), 2 in
platform_driver_probe(), and the register in platform_bus_init().  You
may not even need to reimplement platform_driver_probe().

It might even be as simple as doing this:
-        pdev->dev.bus = &platform_bus_type;
+       if (!pdev->dev.bus)
+                pdev->dev.bus = &platform_bus_type;

Yeah, I found those and already started exploring that change.

So that a different bus type can be selected at device registration
time (but this might be a little on the dangerous side.  It might be
better to have a wrapper function that accepts an omap_device, and
then does the appropriate registration so that the compiler can
type-check it for you).

Another way to look at the problem is that these runtime
customizations are kind of a property of the parent device (the bus,
not the bus_type).  Would it make sense for parent devices to have
runtime ops to perform for each child that is suspended/resumed?  That
would make it simple to register another device that implements the
bus behaviour and attach it at runtime instead of compile time.

So, instead of having all the platform_bus_type devices as children of
the "platform" device (/sys/devices/platform/*), you could set the
omap devices to be children of an omap bus device
(/sys/devices/omap/*).  Different busses can also implement different
behaviour by using a different parent device.  For example:

/sys/devices/platform
/sys/devices/omap-bus-a
/sys/devices/omap-bus-a/omap-bus-b

Thoughts?

Hmm, I like this idea.  This is certainly worth exploring as a first
pass.

Thanks for the idea,

Kevin

All that being said, if I could create a custom bus, but continue to use
platform_devices, that would greatly simply the changes to drivers. ?Do
you think that's acceptable? ?If so, I can take a stab at that and see
what it looks like.

Heh, I should read the whole email before replying.  See above.

Also, I notice that most of these hooks open-code the generic versions
of the runtime hooks. ?Instead of open coding it, can the omap hooks
call the generic hooks before/after doing the omap-specific work?

Ah, good point.

This patch pre-dates the creation of pm_generic_runtime_*, but certainly
should be upgraded to use those. ?Thanks.
