Hi Vivek,

Thanks for the patch. Please see my comments inline.

The smmu device probe/remove and add/remove master device callbacks
gets called when the smmu is not linked to its master, that is without
the context of the master device. So calling runtime apis in those places
separately.

pm_runtime_get_sync() will return 0 if the device was powered off, 1
if it was already/still powered on or runtime PM is not compiled in,
or a negative value on error, so shouldn't the test be (ret < 0)?

Moreover, I'm actually wondering if it makes any sense to power up the
hardware just to program it and power it down again. In a system where
the IOMMU is located within a power domain, it would cause the IOMMU
block to lose its state anyway.

This is generally for the case where the SMMU internal state remains active, but the programming interface needs to be powered up in order to access it.

Actually, reflecting back on "[PATCH v7 2/6] iommu/arm-smmu: Add
pm_runtime/sleep ops", perhaps it would make more sense to just
control the clocks independently of runtime PM? Then, runtime PM could
be used for real power management, e.g. really powering the block up
and down, for further power saving.

Unfortunately that ends up pretty much unmanageable, because there are numerous different SMMU microarchitectures with fundamentally different clock/power domain schemes (multiplied by individual SoC integration possibilities). Since this is fundamentally a generic architectural driver, adding explicit clock support would probably make the whole thing about 50% clock code, with complicated decision trees around every hardware access calculating which clocks are necessary for a given operation on a given system. That maintainability aspect is why we've already nacked such a fine-grained approach in the past.

Robin.
