wl1271: sdio: is fine-grained runtime_pm possible?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

The patch "SDIO Runtime PM Support" implements the pm for wl12xx
driver this way: the power for sdio is on whenever the WLAN interface
is on, and the power is down only when the interface is down.
Is it possible to do pm in a more fine-grained way, such as only
turning on the power when reading/writing through sdio? An example is
the mmc_blk_issue_rq() in drivers/mmc/card/block.c, where the host is
released when there are no more requests. And in turn the host driver,
such as omap_hsmmc.c, calls pm_runtime_put_autosuspend().
Is there any fundamental argument against doing fine-grained runtime
pm for sdio? Or is it just too much trouble for too little power
saved?
Thank you!
