Hello, This patch series finally implements proper runtime PM support in Exynos IOMMU driver. This has been achieved by using device links, which lets SYSMMU controller's runtime PM to follow master's device runtime PM (the device which actually performs DMA transaction). The main idea behind this solution is an observation that any DMA activity from master device can be done only when master device is active, thus when master device is suspended SYSMMU controller device can also be suspended. This patchset solves the situation that power domains are always enabled, because all SYSMMU controllers (which belongs to those domains) are permanently active (because existing driver was simplified and kept SYSMMU device active all the time after initialization). Patches 1-5 are resend of the "[RFC][PATCH 0/5] Functional dependencies between devices" patchset: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/67424/focus=2126379 I've included them here, because it is hard to find them all on mailing list archives. Patches 6-8 are fixes to device dependencies/links code, which were required to use this solution for Exynos IOMMU driver. I'm not PM/runtime PM code expert, so please double check if my changes are really correct. This patchset requires my previous changes to Exynos IOMMU driver submitted in the "Exynos IOMMU: improve clock management" thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg505695.html Best regards Marek Szyprowski Samsung R&D Institute Poland Changelog: v2: - replaced PM notifiers with generic device dependencies/links developped by Rafael J.
