Hello,
This series (a single patch) adds the system suspend and resume support
to the Qualcomm PCIe RC controller.
Background
==========
There were previous attempts [1][2] to add system suspend and resume
support to this driver.
In previous versions, the controller was put into low power mode by turning
OFF the resources even if there were active PCIe devices connected. Thanks
to Qualcomm's internal power topology, the link did not enter L2/L3 state
and the devices were still powered ON. But during very late end of suspend
cycle, kernel tried to disable MSIs of the PCIe devices. This caused access
violations as the resources needed to access the PCIe devices config space
were turned OFF. Series [1] worked around this issue by not accessing the
PCIe config space if the link was down in dw_msi_{un}mask_irq() functions.
But that approach was not accepted.
Then, series [2] implemented the suspend and resume operations using the
syscore framework that disabled the resources at the end of the suspend
cycle. But that approach also did not get much acceptance.
Proposal
========
So the proposal here is to just vote for minimal interconnect bandwidth and
not turn OFF the resources if there are active PCIe devices connected to
the controllers. This avoids the access violation issue during suspend and
also saves some power due to the lower interconnect bandwidth used.
Then if there are no active PCIe devices connected to the controller,
the resources are turned OFF completely and brought back during resume.
This also saves power if there are controllers in a system without any
devices connected.
Testing
=======
This series has been tested on Lenovo Thinkpad X13s.
Thanks,
Mani

Changes in v2:
* Used minimum icc vote to keep data path functional during suspend
* Collected Ack
