It may happen that a device needs to force applying a state, e.g:
because it only defines one state of pin states (default) but loses
power/register contents when entering low power modes. Add a
pinctrl_dev::flags bitmask to help describe future quirks and define
PINCTRL_FLG_FORCE_STATE as such a settable flag.

So if I understand correctly, the state is lost across
suspend/resume, correct?

Or are we even talking runtime PM runtime_suspend
and runtime_resume here?

So the idea is we go and change the state even if we are in the right
state already, I understand that much.

But how is pinctrl_select_state() being called in the first place under
these circumstances?

If this comes from the resume() callback in .pm of the device driver,
would not the same thing be achived if you just set some mock
"sleep" state in suspend()? It could even have exactly the same settings
as the "default" state, as long as it is another state, the register
will be reprogrammed.

See further include/linux/pinctrl/pinctrl-state.h

It makes sense to tag the existing state with the context loss
information as otherwise we'll be duplicating the state in the
pinctrl driver potentially for hundreds of pins.

Maybe this patch description should clarify that it's the
pinctrl device restoring the pin state, not the pinctrl
consumer devices?

So maybe just "a pinctrl device needs to force apply a state"
instead of just device above?

Regards,

Tony

It's a bit more involved than that, the pinctrl consumer device might
want to restore a particular state by calling pinctrl_select_state(),
however, because of the (p->state == state)check, the pinctrl provider
driver has no chance of making that call do the actual HW programming.

Hmm but isn't it the pinctrl provider device losing context here?
I think the restore of the pin state should somehow happen automatically
by the pinctrl provider driver without a need for the pinctrl consumer
drivers to do anything.

Or what's the use case for pinctrl consumer driver wanting to store
a pin?

Tony

It is the pinctrl provider indeed.

Correct.

I actually meant that a consumer driver could aalso call
pinctrl_select_state() in one of its resume callback for instance, but
if the pinctrl provider driver does nothing (or rather the core, on
behalf of the provider), this would be an issue. This was not super
clear, so I will stop using that example from now on :)

OK thanks for confirming that.

OK yeah that's probably where the confusion comes from :)
