RTC plus DDR in self-refresh is power a saving mode where in the entire system including the different voltage rails from PMIC are shutdown except the ones feeding on to RTC and DDR. DDR is kept in self-refresh hence the contents are preserved. RTC ALARM2 is connected to PMIC_EN line once we the ALARM2 is triggered we enter the mode with DDR in self-refresh and RTC Ticking. After a predetermined time an RTC ALARM1 triggers waking up the system. The control goes to bootloader. The bootloader then checks RTC scratchpad registers to confirm it was an rtc_only wakeup and follows a different path, configure bare minimal clocks for ddr and then jumps to the resume address in another RTC scratchpad registers and transfers the control to Kernel. Kernel then restores the saved context. The patch series adds rtc-only + DDR mode support am am437x Tested DS0, rtc+ddr back and forth on am437x-gp-evm board. This mode works only with u-boot built with am43xx_evm_rtconly_defconfig Additional patch is needed for omap-gpio save restore which will come as fixes later.
