Hi Yunpeng, Sorry for the late reply (vacation..).

Does it mean that the power_save callback will be implemented in future or just don't need at all? Thanks. Yes, currently seems it is not needed. > But seems it doesn't provide a runtime PM example on host controller driver side. To my understanding, once the functions (mmc card or sdio devices) and mmc/sdio bus enter into rumtime suspend, it should then make the host controller enter into runtime suspend, too. Any ideas on how to achieve this? Thanks. This should already be taken care of by the PM core: When a device is suspended (e.g. our sdio/mmc card), an idle request is sent by the PM core to its parent device (in our case, that would be the host controller). Now, if the host controller driver has enabled runtime PM, its idle handler would be called so it could act upon it. Similarly, when the card is resumed, the PM core will first invoke its host controller parent's resume handler. For an (initial) reference example of enabling runtime PM in a host controller driver (omap_hsmmc), you can take a look at Kevin Hilman's pm-wip/mmc branch of: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux-omap-pm.git Btw I have an updated version of this patchset - I am about to start testing it (will make sure your scenario works too) and then soon after post it here for review. Thanks, Ohad. > > Best Regards, > Yunpeng Gao -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
