MAU powerdomain provides clocks for Audio sub-system block. This

Right now, there is no way to hook up power-domains with clock


providers.


During late boot when this power-domain gets disabled, we get
following
external abort.

Well, this is not a perfect solution to support MAU power domain,
it's true it is a problem right now though.

In other words, this is just temporal fix for the problem.

How about accessing clock stuff for audio sub-system with handling
MAU power domain via generic IO power domain?


+ Tomasz Figa

Existing power domain driver exynos4_pm_init_power_domain is
registered
with an arch_initcall whereas the clk-exynos-audss driver is
registered
with core_initcall. Hence even if add mau_pd node to clk-exynos-audss
node, the binding with power-domain doesn't happen.



I'd say core_initcall is way too early for clk-exynos-audss driver. It
should be at most subsys_initcall. As far as I can see, all users of
clocks provided by this driver (i.e. i2s) are probed at device_initcall
level anyway.


It is also used by ADMA node, which gets probed.



If I'm looking correctly, ADMA is handled by pl330 driver which is
registered at device_initcall level and so it shouldn't make problems
with
clk-exynos-audss driver being probed at subsys_initcall level.




Alternately, if Tomasz's patches are applied [1], power-domain binding
is successful. But because of the init order, clk-exynos-audss defers
probe resulting in a kernel crash. Forcing clk-exynos-audss to
register
through arch_initcall() fixes this issue, but I am not sure if that is
okay.



If the driver crashes on deferred probe, then it's a bug and it should
be fixed.


By the time clk-exynos-audss is getting called, mau_pd is already
disabled by power-domain driver. That is not getting enabled during
clk-exynos-audss probe. Am I missing something?



Probably. The driver should enable runtime PM and call
pm_runtime_get_sync()
to make sure that power is supplied to the device it accesses.

By the way, if defining MAU power domain in DT, then also all the devices
inside of this domain should be bound to it, including ADMA and I2S, but
I
don't see neither of them having the "samsung,power-domain" property.


According to UM of 5420, MAU has to be power gated is specific order
the SYS_PWR_CFG field of EXYNOS5_PAD_RETENTION_MAU_SYS_PWR_REG should
be set to 0, before actually power gating the MAU block.
I am NOT sure whether this is taken care in the mainline.
As per the current implementation in pm_domain.c, the
exynos_pd_power() just writes  __raw_writel(pwr, base);
based on bool power_on passed.
We dont have the provision in the generic power domain framework to
have something like pre_power_off() or post_power_on(). Correct me if
am wrong.

Even for power gating of ISP block a certain specific order needs to
be followed.

So I think there is a need ops like pre_power_off(), post_power_on()
in generic power domain framework.

let me know your opinion.


I don't think there is any need to handle this in high level code. IMHO just
extending Exynos power domain initialization code and exynos_pd_power()
should be enough.

Fair enough. Yes, I think we can extend the existing exynos power
domain Initialization code and exynos_pd_power() to have such support.

OK. I still need to take a look at the manuals myself to see what kind of requirements can different power domains on all our supported Exynos SoCs have, but from what you described this seems quite do-able.

Best regards,
Tomasz
