AFAIU this is a standard power source method for ACPI, shouldn't ACPI core take
care of being in sync?

This is not about ACPI power-resources, this is about the power state (D0 or D3)
of the device itself. The ACPI core does not expect the state of devices to
magically change underneath it when using s2idle, since then everything is
under the kernel's control. But the _PS0 method of the GPU messing with the PWM
controller (hurray for firmware) messes things up.

What I mean is shouldn't we care about this on a ACPI core level to be sure
that states are kept in sync on OS level?

The ACPI / pm core does care about this when doing a firmware supported suspend/resume
(so going to regular S3) because the firmware can then make all sort of changes
to the device state.

But with s2idle the kernel is fully in control and we never hand control over to the
firmware, so checking the device state then should not be necessary and is a somewhat
expensive operation (esp. to do on all devices), while one of the advantages of s2idle
is supposed to be shorter suspend/resume times.

IOW for s2idle it is undesirable for the core to check the power-state of all
devices after a resume, since it simply should not have changed, with the PWM
device being a nasty exception because of the _PS0 method for *another* device
mucking with it.

Anyways lets see what Rafael has to say about this.

It is OK to check the device power state in the driver in that case IMO,
although I would add a comment explaining why it is needed to the code.

There already are comments:

drivers/pwm/pwm-lpss.h

        /* Some devices have AML code messing with the state underneath us */
        bool check_power_on_resume;

drivers/pwm/pwm-lpss-platform.c: pwm_lpss_complete():

        /* The PWM may be turned on by AML code, update our state to match */
        if (pm_runtime_suspended(dev) && lpwm->info->check_power_on_resume) {
                status = acpi_evaluate_integer(ACPI_HANDLE(dev), "_PSC",
                                               NULL, &psc);
                if (ACPI_SUCCESS(status) && psc == ACPI_STATE_D0) {
                        pm_runtime_disable(dev);
                        pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
                        pm_runtime_enable(dev);
                }
        }
	
Or do you want the comment to go into more detail ?

Also, why don't you use acpi_device_get_power() instead of evaluating
_PSC directly?  It should make no difference if there are no power
resources, should it?

2 reasons:

1) I really want to check the D3 enabled bit from the devices configs regs,
as that is what block S0ix, this is exactly what the _PSC method does

2) acpi_device_get_power() is not exported to modules

In addition, I would disable runtime PM before checking the power state,
then check it, set the correct runtime PM status and re-enable runtime PM.

Ok I will send a v2 with this changed.

Regards,

Hans
