Can you please make the commit message more detailed, explaining why you're making this change; what it adds/fixes/removes/etc.? Right now just reading this I'm unclear as to why you're adding a call to device_init_wakeup() here. The generic I2C client code will mark the parent MFD device as a wake source, if the relevant boolean 'wakeup' is defined in DT, so what does this add?Sorry for long response had to double check setting wakeup-source in case i have missed something. I2C_CLIENT_WAKE is set in of_i2c_get_board_info - the place da9063 rtc would never get to. Setting "wakeup-source" for pmic indeed marks it as wakeup source, but that's not exactly we want. What we want is "wakealarm" in RTC sysfs directory, to be able to set alarm so we can wake up from SHUTDOWN/DELIVERY/RTC mode of da9063. We do have /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm if marking da9063-rtc as device_init_wakeup. Unfortunately marking pmic or rtc as wakeup-source in device tree gives us nothing. ls /proc/device-tree/soc/i2c\@10030000/pmic\@58/ compatible interrupt-parent name regulators wakeup-source interrupt-controller interrupts reg rtc wdt ls /proc/device-tree/soc/i2c\@10030000/pmic\@58/rtc/ compatible name wakeup-source ls /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm ls: cannot access '/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm': No such file or directory So i currently see that either da9063 RTC should be marked as wakeup source, or the da9063 MFD should somehow set that for RTC. And we want this even if CONFIG_PM is off. Mentioning "/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm" in commit message would be enough ?Thanks for the detailed response; it helped a lot. Having reviewed the core code along with your description I know understand what's happening here. Basically marking as 'wakeup-source' is simply a means to expose the sysfs attribute to user-space. Yes I think in the commit message you should be clear that there's a need to access the sys attribute 'wakealarm' in the RTC core and clarify exactly why there is that need. Your commit log should be good enough so that if anyone else needs to look at this later they completely understand the intention behind the change. By the way, I assume the functionality you're looking for could also have been achieved through using the /dev/rtcX instance for DA9063?
Thank you for pointing this out, indeed i missed that obvious thing. We can also simply set alarm via rtcwake, even if CONFIG_PM is off: rtcwake -m no -s 60 Now i am not sure we should make changes to da9063-rtc driver - what do you think ?
