For a power domain to idle all the clock domains in it must idle.
This patch implements an optimization of the cpuidle code by
denying and later allowing only the first registered clock domain
of a power domain, and so optimizes the latency of the low power code.


How much do we really save doing this? I understand what you are doing
by looking at the patch but the changelog seems very confusing.
The gain is on the registers accesses and the internal PRCM state
machine.
If needed the changelog can be updated.

Can you explain a bit more on which register accesses are you talking
about? and some more on the PRCM state machine.

never mind, I looked at the patch again and then the cpuidle code and
figured what you are doing. Makes sense to me now :-)

Rajendra


What the patch does is get rid of a few function indirection
and assumes there is only *one* clkdm for mpu and core. Is that right?
Not exactly. The patch does not assume that there is only one clkdm
per power domain. It just allows or denies only one clkdm to idle,
which has the same effect at the power domain level.

Ok, so lets assume mpu on OMAP3 has 2 clkdms, and you allow only one
of them to idle. Will that have the same effect at the power domain
level?
The first line of the change log says "For a power domain to idle *all*
the clock domains in it must idle" and now you say allowing only *one*
clkdm to idle should have the same effect at the power domain level.
I am confused.


Thanks for reviewing,
Jean

Rajendra



The functions _cpuidle_allow_idle and _cpuidle_deny_idle are
not used anymore and so are removed.
