Looking at examples of other drivers (e.g. imx334) doing exactly the same helps as you don't need to check for individual functions. The complexity of the power management in this driver is mostly because of evolutionary development done over time, it's an old driver. > high chance that it won't be done correctly). What's the practical > drawback in requiring CONFIG_PM ? Good question. CONFIG_PM is something you can disable (for a reason I can't think of though). Why should a driver depend on it when it could perfectly work without it as well? Although this might not amount to a practical drawback. :-) -- Kind regards, Sakari Ailus
