Partial-IO is a very low power mode in which nearly everything is powered off. Only pins of a few hardware units are kept sensitive and are capable to wakeup the SoC. The device nodes are marked as 'wakeup-source' but so are a lot of other device nodes as well that are not able to do a wakeup from Partial-IO. This creates the need to describe the device nodes that are capable of wakeup from Partial-IO. This patch adds a property with a list of these nodes defining which devices can be used as wakeup sources in Partial-IO.<form letter> This is a friendly reminder during the review process. It seems my or other reviewer's previous comments were not fully addressed. Maybe the feedback got lost between the quotes, maybe you just forgot to apply it. Please go back to the previous discussion and either implement all requested changes or keep discussing them. Thank you. </form letter>I tried to address your comment from last version by explaining more thoroughly what the binding is for as it seemed that my previous explanation wasn't really good. You are suggesting to use 'wakeup-source' exclusively. Unfortunately wakeup-source is a boolean property which covers two states. I have at least three states I need to describe: - wakeup-source for suspend to memory and other low power modes - wakeup-source for Partial-IO - no wakeup-sourceMaybe we need generic property or maybe custom TI would be fine, but in any case - whether device is wakeup and what sort of wakeup it is, is a property of the device.
To continue on this, I currently only know of this Partial-IO mode that would require a special flag like this. So I think a custom TI property would work. For example a bool property like ti,partial-io-wakeup-source; in the device nodes for which it is relevant? This would be in addition to the 'wakeup-source' property. Best Markus

If something is a wakeup-source for Partial-IO it usually is a wakeup-source for suspend to memory as well but not the other way around.I understand, makes sense. The trouble is that your driver code does not indicate any of this.quoted
This is the reason why I added a property that lists the devicenodes that are capable of wakeup from Partial-IO.This property looks purely to satisfy your driver design. Best regards, Krzysztof
