But for the powerdown bits I am wondering whether the reset controller API is the right abstraction. Depending on whether those bits really just put the IPs into reset or there is some power gating / sequencing involved, shouldn't this rather be handled as a set of pm domains? I see that for example on STiH415 there are both soft resets and powerdown bits for USB[012]. regards Philipp -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
