Hi Abel,

Currently, there are cases when a domain needs to remain enabled until
the consumer driver probes. Sometimes such consumer drivers may be built
as modules. Since the genpd_power_off_unused is called too early for
such consumer driver modules to get a chance to probe, the domain, since
it is unused, will get disabled. On the other hand, the best time for
an unused domain to be disabled is on the provider's sync_state
callback. So, if the provider has registered a sync_state callback,
assume the unused domains for that provider will be disabled on its
sync_state callback. Also provide a generic sync_state callback which
disables all the domains unused for the provider that registers it.

This approach has been applied for unused clocks as well.
With this patch merged in, all the providers that have sync_state
callback registered will leave the domains enabled unless the provider's
sync_state callback explicitly disables them. So those providers will
need to add the disabling part to their sync_state callback. On the
other hand, the platforms that have cases where domains need to remain
enabled (even if unused) until the consumer driver probes, will be able,
with this patch in, to run without the pd_ignore_unused kernel argument,
which seems to be the case for most Qualcomm platforms, at this moment.

I recently encountered a related issue on a Qualcomm platform with a
v6.2-rc kernel, which includes 3a39049f88e4 ("soc: qcom: rpmhpd: Use
highest corner until sync_state"). The issue involves a DT node with a
rpmhpd, the DT node is enabled, however the corresponding device driver
is not enabled in the kernel. In such a scenario the sync_state callback
is never called, because the genpd consumer never probes. As a result
the Always-on subsystem (AOSS) of the SoC doesn't enter sleep mode during
system suspend, which results in a substantially higher power consumption
in S3.

I wonder if genpd (and some other frameworks) needs something like
regulator_init_complete(), which turns off unused regulators 30s after
system boot. That's conceptually similar to the current
genpd_power_off_unused(), but would provide time for modules being loaded.

I think the overall goal is to move away from ad-hoc implementations like clk_disable_unused/genpd_power_off_unused/regulator_init_complete towards the sync_state.

So inherently one either has to provide drivers for all devices in question or disable unused devices in DT.


The v1 is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230126234013.3638425-1-abel.vesa@xxxxxxxxxx/

Changes since v1:
  * added a generic sync state callback to be registered by providers in
    order to disable the unused domains on their sync state. Also
    mentioned this in the commit message.
