[RFC][PATCH] PM / Domains: Return -EPROBE_DEFER if we fail to init or turn-on domain

From: Jon Hunter <jonathanh@nvidia.com>
Date: 2015-06-18 17:52:53
Subsystem: driver core, kobjects, debugfs and sysfs, hibernation (aka software suspend, aka swsusp), power management core, suspend to ram, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, "Rafael J. Wysocki", Danilo Krummrich, Linus Torvalds

When a device is probed, the function dev_pm_domain_attach() is called
to see if there is a power-domain that is associated with the device and
needs to be turned on. If dev_pm_domain_attach() does not return
-EPROBE_DEFER then the device will be probed.

For devices using genpd, dev_pm_domain_attach() will call
genpd_dev_pm_attach(). If genpd_dev_pm_attach() does not find a power
domain associated with the device then it returns an error code not
equal to -EPROBE_DEFER to allow the device to be probed. However, if
genpd_dev_pm_attach() does find a power-domain that is associated with
the device, then it does not return -EPROBE_DEFER on failure and hence
the device will still be probed. Furthermore, genpd_dev_pm_attach() does
not check the error code returned by pm_genpd_poweron() to see if the
power-domain was turned on successfully.

FWICT, it seems to me that we would not want to probe the device if
there is a power-domain associated but we fail to initialise it or
it fails to turn on. Of course I could be wrong here and so please
let me know if my interpretation is utterly flawed in someway ;-)
