But I am unable to find a way for the gdsc driver to get hold of the
struct generic_pm_domain of the resources exposed by the rpmhpd driver.
You don't need a handle to the struct generic_pm_domain, to assign a
parent/child domain. Instead you can use of_genpd_add_subdomain(),
which takes two "struct of_phandle_args*" corresponding to the
parent/child device nodes of the genpd providers and then let genpd
internally do the look up.

I think I'd need this function anyway for the gdsc code. During gdsc_init()
we check gdsc status and this requires register access (and thus powering on
the parent domain) before the gdsc is registered itself as a power domain.
But this is a register access in the dispcc block, which is the context
that our gdsc_init() operates. So describing that MMCX is the
power-domain for dispcc should ensure that the power-domain is enabled.
Right.

As a note, when we assign a child domain to a parent domain, via
of_genpd_add_subdomain() for example - and the child domain has been
powered on, this requires the parent domain to be turned on as well.
Most probably we should also teach genpd code to call pm_runtime
functions on respective devices when the genpd is powered on or off.
For now I had to do this manually.

We do however need to make sure that dispcc doesn't hog its
power-domain, and that any register accesses in runtime is done with the
parenting power-domain enabled. E.g. the clock framework wraps all
operations in pm_runtime_get/put(), but I don't see anything in the
gnepd code for this.


And for gcc I'm worried that we might have some GDSCs that are parented
by CX and some by MX, but I do still think that the register accesses
are only related to one of these.

But this seems like a continuation of the special case in dispcc, so I
think we should be able to focus on getting that right before we attempt
the general case (and I don't know if we have a need for this today).

Bjorn
Unfortunately, I didn't understand all the above things.

In any case, please tell me if there is anything else that blocks you
from moving forward with the power domain conversion? I am happy to
help.
