PM: Runtime platform device power management [PATCH 01/04] Driver Core: Add platform device arch data [PATCH 02/04] Driver Core: Add idle and wakeup functions [PATCH 03/04] PM: Add platform bus runtime dev_pm_ops [PATCH 04/04] sh: Runtime platform device PM mockup These patches extend platform device and driver interfaces to allow architectures to implement platform device runtime pm. Upstream runtime power management needs to be improved to fully make use of hardware power saving features found on embedded platforms and in common SoCs. For runtime power management we today have cpuidle, the clock framework and qos. This allows the cpu core to enter various forms of deep sleep, and for devices we may stop clocks to save power. Modern SoCs however allow disabling of power to parts of the chip, and we have no upstream interface to handle that today. I propose adding the following simple platform device functions: - platform_device_wakeup() - platform_device_idle() The idle function is used by the platform driver to let the architecture power management code know that from now on the device is in idle state. When the device is marked as idle the architecture specific runtime power management may decide to do various levels of device power management, ranging from stopping clocks to turning off power. The dev_pm_ops callbacks may be invoked by the runtime pm code to save and restore state whenever the device is marked as idle. The wakeup function is used by the platform driver to notify the architecture code that the driver wants to make use of the hardware device. If the device has been put in sleep then it needs to be woken up. This wakeup call may invoke dev_pm_ops callbacks. Have a look at the last patch for a SuperH mockup that shows how it all fits together. We need this or a similar interface to be able to enter deep sleep states on SuperH. I believe other architectures have similar requirements.
