Shouldn't we get a link-up interrupt when it is > powered up so we could probe it then? Not quite. QCA6390 is a multifunction device, with PCIe and serial parts. It has internal power regulators which once enabled will powerup the PCIe, serial and radio parts. There is no need to manage regulators. Once enabled they will automatically handle device suspend/resume, etc. I'm not sure about link-up interrupt. I've just lightly tested using PCIe HP on this port, getting no interrupts from it. If I manually rescan the bus after enabling the qca6390 device (e.g. via sysfs), it gets enabled, but then I see PCIe link errors (most probably because the PCIe link was not retrained after the device comes up). > Nit: when changing any file, please take a look at the commit history > and make yours match, e.g., > > pcie-qcom: provide a way to power up qca6390 chip on RB5 platform > > does not look like: Ack. -- With best wishes Dmitry
