[PATCH/RFC 0/6] PSCI: Fix non-PMIC wake-up if SYSTEM_SUSPEND cuts power

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




	Hi all,

This patch series adds support for using non-PMIC wake-up sources on the
Renesas R-Car Gen3 (H3 or M3-W) Salvator-X development boards.

Nothing in the PSCI specification requires the SoC to remain powered and
to support wake-up sources when suspended using SYSTEM_SUSPEND.
If the firmware implements the PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND operation by cutting
power to the SoC, the only possibly wake-up sources are thus the ones
connected to the PMIC.

To allow other wake-up sources, this patch series documents and adds
support for an "arm,psci-system-suspend-is-power-down" DT property, so
Linux uses a different suspend method when other wake-up sources (e.g.
wake on LAN, UART or GPIO) are enabled.  Hence the user no longer has to
manually restrict "mem" suspend to "s2idle" or "shallow" states using:

    $ echo s2idle > /sys/power/mem_sleep # or "shallow"

Contents:
  - Patch 1 prevents the alarmtimer from showing up as a wake-up source
    when no wake-up capable RTC device is present in the system,
  - Patch 2 provides an API to check if any wake-up sources have been
    registered,
  - Patch 3 implements "shallow" suspend mode on systems using PSCI,
    in addition to the existing "s2idle" and "deep" suspend modes,
  - Patch 4 makes the system use "shallow" instead of "deep" suspend
    mode on systems where this is needed to support non-PMIC wake-up
    sources,
  - Patches 5 and 6 enable the above on Renesas R-Car H3 and M3-W
    systems.

Dependencies:
  - The three first patches are independent,
  - The fourth patch depends on the first three patches,
  - The DTS patches depend on acceptance of the DT bindings in patch 4.

This has been tested on both the Renesas R-Car H3 (quad A57*)
and M3-W (dual A57*) Salvator-X development boards
(*A53 cores are unused).

Power consumption:

		H3	M3-W
		--	----
  - idle:	9.2 W	7.6 W
  - s2idle:	8.6 W	6.3 W
  - shallow:	8.4 W	6.2 W	(secondary CPU cores off)
  - deep:	1.4 W	1.2 W	(PSCI_SYSTEM_SUSPEND)
  - shutdown:	7.7 W	5.6 W	(PSCI SYSTEM_OFF: needs improvement)
  - poweroff:	1.3 W	1.1 W	(fan running)

Thanks for your comments!
