At least for devices integrated into the SoC, the power rails are controlled by the firmware in the SoC. For S3, the power rails are cut by the FW when the platform enters S3. For S0ix, the power rails are cut when all of the devices on the rail suspended and various conditions are met. Also, in the case of some devices, the device has to be in a very specific state for s0ix to work properly. The GPU is the big one here. For S3, the entire GPU has to be re-initialized at resume. For S0ix, the GPU's state is largely handled by the firmware and attempting to re-initialize it won't work unless you reset it. Integrated AMD graphics don't support runtime power management, only dGPUs do. For integrated graphics the firmware dynamically controls the power at runtime so there is no need to do anything special for runtime pm. For dGPUs we support d3cold either via ACPI on platforms like all-in-ones and laptops or via a driver initiated sequence for add-in-cards. What does S2idle ultimately do when all devices have suspended? Does it enter S0ix or S3 at the end when it want to ultimately suspend the platform, or is the assumption that if all devices have suspended, the that is equivalent to S0ix or S3? For AMD platforms, either S3 or S0ix needs to be entered for the platform to actually power down most of the power rails. It's not clear to me what we should do for s2idle. Alex
