Before the pci_driver->probe() is called, the pci subsystem calls
runtime_forbib() and runtime_get_sync() on this pci dev, so only call
runtime_put_autosuspend() is not enough to enable the runtime_pm on
this device.

For controllers with vgaswitcheroo feature, the pci/quirks.c will call
runtime_allow() for this dev, then the controllers could enter
rt_idle/suspend/resume, but for non-vgaswitcheroo controllers like
Intel hda controllers, the runtime_pm is not enabled even it calls
put_autosuspend(). Need to call runtime_allow() for those controllers
in the hda driver.
 From what I can tell there are no ill effects of calling
runtime_allow() twice. Technically, the check against
use_vga_switcheroo() is thus redundant.
Is there a good reason why runtime_allow() is called in the pci
quirks rather than in hda_intel? Is it a suggestion to perform this
call in hda_intel regardless of whether it's a switcheroo-device or
not, and removing calls to runtime_allow() from the PCI quirks?
I guess after the hda driver calls the _allow() unconditionally, we
could remove the _allow() in the pci/quirks.c. But it is no harm
keeping it since _allow() could be called many times.
After a bit of research, I agree! It's better left in place in the PCI
quirks, such that in the case that hda_intel doesn't load or bind for
whatever reason (not compiled in e.g. an embedded kernel, new/unknown
PCI vendor/device identifier), the GPUs HDA device can still run-time
suspend.
Right, some background information is found in the original commit
that introduced the quirk (07f4f97d7b4b).

Hui, care to resend the patch with that change, also a bit refreshing
the patch description?

OK.

Thanks.


thanks,

Takashi


Thank you! Best,

Roy

Thanks,

Hui.

Thanks. Best,

Was this behavior changed from the earlier kernels?  I thought this
was left untouched because it's supposed to be set via udev rules or
such.
Oh, I don't know that,  according to my test with ubuntu rootfs,
the runtime pm is not enabled on Intel's hda controllers. But with
the sof driver, the controller driver calls runtime_allow()
(soc/sof/sof-pci-dev.c), so I sent this patch.

Regards,

Hui.

OTOH, enabling the runtime PM is almost mandatory for modern systems,
and I'm fine to apply this kind of forcible enablement.


thanks,

Takashi
