Re: [PATCH 3/10 v6] PM / Domains: Support for generic I/O PM domains (v7)

"Rafael J. Wysocki" [off-list ref] writes:

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <redacted>

Introduce common headers, helper functions and callbacks allowing
platforms to use simple generic power domains for runtime power
management.

Introduce struct generic_pm_domain to be used for representing
power domains that each contain a number of devices and may be
parent domains or subdomains with respect to other power domains.
Among other things, this structure includes callbacks to be
provided by platforms for performing specific tasks related to
power management (i.e. ->stop_device() may disable a device's
clocks, while ->start_device() may enable them, ->power_off() is
supposed to remove power from the entire power domain
and ->power_on() is supposed to restore it).

Introduce functions that can be used as power domain runtime PM
callbacks, pm_genpd_runtime_suspend() and pm_genpd_runtime_resume(),
as well as helper functions for the initialization of a power
domain represented by a struct generic_power_domain object,
adding a device to or removing a device from it and adding or
removing subdomains.

Introduce configuration option CONFIG_PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS to be
selected by the platforms that want to use the new code.

While I still don't think this is generic enough for some more
complicated SoCs, it most certainly a huge step in the right direction,
and I think we can address the other complexities with additional
patches as needed.

Thanks Rafael for all your hard work on this and putting up with my
nagging. ;)
