Add suspend and resume callbacks. The priority of these are
"_noirq()", to workaround early access to the registers done by the
PCI core through the ->read()/->write() callbacks at resume time.

I have noticed it is common practice, still, I would like to check whether
it is allowed to call functions that may sleep in a NOIRQ suspend/resume
callback ?

You are right this is weird. I double checked and for instance,
pcie-mediatek.c, pci-tegra.c and pci-imx6.c do the exact same thing. There are
probably other cases where drivers call functions that may sleep from a NOIRQ
context. I am interested to know if this is valid and if not, what is the
alternative?

Yes, it is valid.  _noirq means that the high-level action handlers
will not be invoked for interrupts occurring during that period, but
that doesn't apply to timer interrupts.

IOW, don't expect *your* IRQ handler to be invoked then (if this is
not a timer IRQ), but you can sleep.

Hi Rafael, all,

I did not ask my question (that may be silly) properly apologies. I know
that the S2R context allows sleeping the question is, in case
clk_disable_unprepare() (and resume counterparts) sleeps, what is going
to wake it up, given that we are in the S2R NOIRQ phase and as you said
the action handlers (that are possibly required to wake up the eg
clk_disable_unprepare() caller) are disabled (unless, AFAIK,
IRQF_NO_SUSPEND is passed at IRQ request time in the respective driver).

The clk API implementations back-ends are beyond my depth, I just wanted
to make sure I understand how the S2R flow is expected to work in this
specific case.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
