So the power domain provider (scpsys) need to be initialized
earlier too.

Take an example for our IOMMU (M4U) and SMI. SMI is a bridge
between IOMMU and multimedia HW. SMI is responsible to
enable/disable iommu and help transfer data for each multimedia
HW. Both of them have to wait until the power and clocks are
enabled.

So scpsys driver should be initialized before SMI, and SMI should
be initialized before IOMMU, and then init IOMMU consumers
(display/vdec/venc/camera etc.).

IOMMU is subsys_init by default. So we need to init scpsys driver
before subsys_init.

Can't we achieve this with probe deferring? I'm not really keen on
coding the order of the different drivers like this.

Hi Matthias,

Some drivers such as IOMMU don't support probe deferring. So scpsys need
to init before them by changing init level.


SMI larbs return EPROBE_DEFER if it can't find the PM provider for it's domain, so this part should not be the problem. The larbs get added as components in the probe, when the PM provider is present.

The iommu driver uses the larbs as components. As long as not all components are present the iommu does not bind them. So from what I see this should work without any problem.

Can you please specify where the iommu dirver has a problem. Maybe we need to fix the driver rather then scpsys.

Regards,
Matthias
