I initially thought this would disappear after fixing the other issues, but it
seems to be a problem of its own, which I have thus investigated. I had to
trace through the runtime PM code to understand what was going on, which
wasn't a pleasant experience, but I managed to find the root cause and to
create a fix.
The culprit is initialization of runtime PM in the DSS component master bind
handler coupled with probe deferral from within that handler.
The bind handler performs the following sequence of PM operations:
pm_runtime_enable(dev);
pm_runtime_get_sync(dev);
... (access the hardware to read the device revision) ...
pm_runtime_put_sync(dev);
If a failure occurs at this point, the error path calls pm_runtime_disable()
to balance the pm_runtime_enable() call.
Now it should be noted that the bind handler is called when one of the
component registers itself, which happens in the component's probe handler.
Furthermore, as the components are children of the DSS, the device core calls
pm_runtime_get_sync() on the DSS platform device before calling the
component's probe handler. This increases the DSS power usage count but
doesn't runtime resume the device, as runtime PM is disabled at that point.
The bind handler is thus called with runtime PM disabled, with the device
runtime suspended, but with the power usage count larger than 0. The
pm_runtime_get_sync() call will thus further increase the power usage count
and runtime resume the device. The pm_runtime_put_sync() handler will decrease
the power usage count to a non-zero value and will thus not suspend the
device. Finally, the pm_runtime_disable() call will disable runtime PM,
preventing the pm_runtime_put() call in the device core from runtime
suspending the device. The DSS device is thus left powered on.
To fix this, I've created a patch that moves the runtime PM initialization
code (as well as most of the rest of the initialization code) from the bind
handler to the probe handler. I'll post it in v2 of this series.
