       Though driver shouldn't be using hwmod directly, there is no
corresponding API in omap_device to do the same. So we are planning to
       store the omap_hwmod structure in platform_data during
arch_initcall (in the callback to omap_hwmod_for_each_by_class). So
whenever the
       AUTOIDLE bits need to be reset or set, we pass the stored
omap_hwmod structure to this API. Currently, the functions that needs
AUTOIDLE
       bit to be modified (omap_st_on, omap_st_off) resides in plat-omap.

couldn't your API instead be something like:

int omap_hwmod_set_autoidle(struct device *dev, u8 autoidle)
{
	struct omap_hwmod *oh = dev_to_hwmod(dev);

	if (!oh)
		return -ENODEV;
	[...]

	return 0;
}

      Balbi,
          I couldn't find "dev_to_hwmod()" function. Do you actually mean
implementing dev_to_hwmod() function?
      I created this API based on "omap_hwmod_set_slave_idlemode()"
present in lo (omap_hwmod.c) for changing the smart idle bit
      of SYSCONFIG register.

      -Kishon

That API does not exist. And since a device can contains several hwmods, like in your case, this API cannot exist in that form.

The real issue is that we do not want to expose any API relative to PRCM management to the driver. Even if you hide that behind some pdata, it is still the driver that will call it.

I know that some IPs like MUSB or McBSP requires some unusual idle mode change due to HW bugs, but in general, you should try to find a better way to handle that in the core framework if possible.

Benoit
