We have devices that are in incomplete state, but still need to be
probed to allow properly idling them for PM. Some examples are
devices that are not pinned out on certain packages, or otherwise
unusable on some SoCs.
Setting status = "disabled" cannot be used for this case. Setting
"disabled" makes Linux ignore these devices so they are not probed
and can never get idled properly by Linux PM runtime.
The proper way deal with the incomplete devices is to probe them,
then allow the driver to check the state, and then disable or idle
the device using PM runtime. To do this, we need to often enable
the device and run some device specific code to idle the device.
Also boards may have needs to disable and idle unused devices.
This may be needed for example if all resources are not wired
for a certain board variant.
It seems we can use the ePAPR 1.1 status fail-sss to do this.
Quoting "Table 2-4 Values for status property" we have "fail-sss":
"Indicates that the device is not operational. A serious error was
detected in the device and it is unlikely to become operational
without repair. The sss portion of the value is specific to the
device and indicates the error condition detected."
We can handle these fail states can be handled in a generic
way. So let's introduce a generic status = "fail-" that
describes a situation where a device driver probe should just
shut down or idle the device if possible and then bail out.
This allows the SoC variant and board specific dts files to set
the status as needed.
The suggested usage in a device driver probe is:
static int foo_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
int err;
const char *status;
...
pm_runtime_enable(&pdev->dev);
pm_runtime_get_sync(&pdev->dev);
pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(&pdev->dev);
...
/* Configure device, load firmware, idle device */
...
if (of_device_is_incomplete(pdev->dev.of_node, status)) {
if (!strcmp("hw-incomplete-pins", status)) {
dev_info(&pdev->dev,
"Unusable hardware: Not pinned out\n");
err = -ENODEV;
goto out;
}
if (!strcmp("hw-missing-daughter-card")) {
err = -EPROBE_DEFER;
goto out;
}
if (!strcmp("hw-buggy-dma")) {
dev_warn(&pdev->dev,
"Replace hardware for working DMA\n");
}
}
/* Continue normal device probe */
...
return 0;
out:
pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend(&pdev->dev);
pm_runtime_put_sync(&pdev->dev);
pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev);
return err;
}

Changes since v1 ([PATCH] of: Add generic handling for hardware incomplete
fail state):
- Make more generic as suggested by Frank but stick with
"operational status of a device" approch most people seem
to prefer that
- Pass the failure status back to caller so the caller may
attempt to handle the failure status
- Improved the description with more examples
