Irq handling is based on parent device's (part of other subsystem)
provided interfaces. I will coordinate with others for this.

Do you mean, using virtual irq assignment for MFD devices
(ACP is a MFD device) and registering irq handler for it ?

Sorry, I didn't understand your comment.
I used 'num_of_pages' to configure ACP audio device for accessing system
memory. The implementation is in 'acp_pte_config' function in the patch.

I want to power off ACP audio IP, when the audio usecase is not active for
sometime (run time PM). I felt, 'close' is the correct place to mark this.

ACP device (child) can power off itself, when it receives suspend
request. So, the intention is to call 'acp_suspend' (defined in same patch)
from the 'suspend' callback of ACP device.

There were two different functions with same name in two drivers
interacting here.That might have introduced some confusion.
Sorry, I will modify that.

Also, amd_acp_*() can be removed later, as they are not expected to add any
functonality in future. ACP device can be suspended/resumed using acp_*_tile().

Sorry, I didn't understand your comment. I felt, steps mentioned in
kernel documentation :
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt#L634
is applicable in this scenario. I maybe wrong, but felt that is applicable.

That is SRAM block's offset address. Sorry. I didn't understand the
expected change, here.

I will coordinate with other subsystem driver author, that this driver

Sorry, I didn't understand. Could you help in adding more pointers on this.
The device can get powered-off, with this helper function, which can
be called from device 'suspend' callback.

SRAM banks are part of ACP IP. With ACP's runtime PM handling, all blocks
within ACP IP can be powered-off and on.

The current version of hardware has the limitation of accuracy reporting.
I will remove abstraction, if suggested.
