[PATCH 0/2] mmc: sunxi: Add runtime PM support

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

 



Hi,

Since it's introduction, our MMC controller has had its external clocks
running all the time.

While that was working great, the power usage and most importantly the EMI
that it generated was pretty bad.

Let's implement some runtime_pm hooks with an autosuspend to cut the
external clock when the MMC is not active.

I didn't get all the way to also shutdown the bus clocks since on some
older SoCs (before the A31), it also means that the controler will be reset
which has some quite important implications obviously. And I couldn't make
it work reliably at the moment. Anyway, it can always be implemented as a
second step if needed.

(Quite simple) benchmarks have shown no noticeable regressions since the
controller state is maintained.

Let me know what you think,
Maxime
