Thanks, makes sense.
On a related note, I see a few drivers, including this DMA driver doing
the following in the driver ->remove callback.
pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev);
!pm_runtime_status_suspended(&pdev->dev))
tegra_dma_runtime_suspend(&pdev->dev);
I understand that the code is trying to ensure that the device is
suspended regardless of whether rpm is enabled or not in the kernel
config. However, looking at the pm_runtime_status_suspended() function,
AFAICT, it will always return false above as the disable_depth will be
greater than 0. So I am concerned that the tegra_dma_runtime_suspend()
is called even when not needed? However, I could also be missing
something here.
Cheers
Jon
