Right, let's get this thread back onto a constructive footing and try to understand the problems here.

Right, so now the question becomes - what is different on the Beagle Board that prevents solution (a) from working - or put it another way, have we uncovered _another_ bug. For N800, for ttyO0 and ttyO1 which aren't in use, it may be correct. We don't know for certain. For ttyO2, the port is clearly already in use as it's being used for console output. So that means it's _not_ in suspended state, and therefore the initial runtime PM state is wrong. For Beagleboard - who knows, we have no information on that. All we know is that your (a) sequence causes a regression. Anyway, let's analyse the code paths. What is pm_runtime_get_sync() doing? Well, it calls __pm_runtime_resume(, RPM_GET_PUT). That alters the parent device's state (which doesn't matter for this, as the platform device is a child of the main platform device, which has no runtime PM.) It then calls the resume callback (from the pm domain/type/class/bus/ driver) and then does an idle check. OMAP devices have a pm domain, so this is the candidate for the callback at this level, which gets us into _od_runtime_resume(). This calls omap_device_enable() before then moving on to the driver's runtime resume method, and at that point the runtime PM resume is complete. So, with your (a) solution, what's different is that we omit calling omap_device_enable(). Therefore, my hunch is the reason that Beagleboard doesn't work is because it doesn't like missing that call. I bet if you do this: omap_device_enable(dev); pm_runtime_set_active(dev); pm_runtime_enable(dev); that this will solve your problem, and Beagleboard will continue working. What we have is a mismatch in both your case, and the Beagleboard case, between the real state of the hardware, the runtime PM state, and the OMAP hwmod state, and the above should bring all those states entirely into line with each other for _every_ case. It doesn't need any hacks to prevent resume callbacks without prior suspends (which, incidentally, the runtime PM core already guarantees provided you get the initial state correct.) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
