Hi Sarang,

The function wkup_m3_rproc_boot_thread waits for asynchronous
firmware loading to complete successfully before calling
rproc_boot(). The same can be achieved by just setting
rproc->auto_boot flag. Change this. As a result this change
removes wkup_m3_rproc_boot_thread and moves m3_ipc->sync_complete
initialization to the wkup_m3_ipc_probe().

Other than the current usage, the firmware_loading_complete is
only used in rproc_del() where it's no longer needed.  This
change is in preparation for removing firmware_loading_complete
completely.

Based on the comments so far, I am assuming that you are dropping this
series.

No, may not be dropping this. Will try to handle it differently in
rproc_del() (probably by making use of some state flag).

In any case, this series did break our PM stack. We definitely don't
want to auto-boot the wkup_m3_rproc device, that responsibility will
need to stay with the wkup_m3_ipc driver.

Which scenario did it break? Booting up rproc device before
wkup_m3_ipc_probe() causes issues?

Yes, our state machine requires the wkup_m3_ipc driver to control the
boot of the wkup_m3 remoteproc. The wkup_m3 is not a typical remoteproc,
it is our PM master and is responsible for putting the host processor
into suspend and waking it up in system suspend/cpuidle paths.
The remoteproc infrastructure is only used for load/boot, but the Linux
PM state machine and communication is all controlled by the wkup_m3_ipc
driver.

Thanks for explaining. I was missing the fact that the resource table parsing during asynchronous call and the one in rproc_boot() are different.



Nevertheless, I think Bjorn's suggestion of just dropping the call to
wait_for_completion() and keeping kthread looks good, also because of
the fact that rproc_boot() anyways calls request_firmware() and no
longer needed to wait on asynchronous loading of firmware.

Yeah, I will have to test this, but looking at current code, this should
mostly be ok because of the remoteproc core changes w.r.t resource table
parsing.

Tested with just the wait_for_completion() removed and it works fine. I
can send a patch for the same if you prefer me to send it.

Thanks for testing it. I have sent the patch.

Sarang
