As long as the 2D core is in use the 3D core will not loose power during suspend and the other way around. So the GPU is keeping it's state during suspend. What I've seen is that we definitely fall over when trying to configure an already enabled MMU, as this is causing faults. But I can well imagine that we the GPU might behave slightly different in a number of places. Also currently the i.MX6 platform resets the GPU after powering up the power domain, but there is no guarantee that the platform does this and the driver should work correctly regardless. In fact im.MX6QP has an erratum, which disallows to power down the GPU power domain, as long as the PRE unit is active, so there will be no power-up reset when coming back from suspend. > This looks like it makes resuming the GPU quite expensive. > Possibly, yes. But the timeouts for runtime PM are really long right now, so we should not power down the GPU when it's in active use. So taking a little longer to resume the GPU shouldn't matter. Even more so when taking into account that the resume path is already quite expensive, involving a regulator the be enabled and waited on to become stable.
