Some platforms (e.g: Broadcom STB: BMIPS_GENERIC/ARCH_BRCMSTB) will lose
their register contents when entering their lower power state. In such a
case, the pinctrl-single driver that is used will not be able to restore
the power states without telling the core about it and having
pinctrl_select_state() check for that.

This patch adds a new optional boolean property that Device Tree can
define in order to obtain exactly that and having the core pinctrl code
take that into account.

Florian, I'm really sorry for losing track of this patch set, it's
important stuff and I see why systems are dependent on something
like this.

Tony: can you look at this from a pinctrl-single point of view?
This is the intended consumer: pinctrl-single users that lose the
hardware state over suspend/resume.

How do you see this working with other pinctrl-single users?

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Hmm well typically a device driver that loses it's context just does
save and restore of the registers in runtime PM suspend/resume
as needed. In this case it would mean duplicating the state for
potentially for hundreds of registers.. So using the existing
state in the pinctrl subsystem totally makes sense for the pins.

Florian do you have other reasons why this should be done in the
pinctrl framework instead of the driver? Might be worth describing
the reasoning in the patch descriptions :)

So as long as the pinctrl framework state is used to restore the
state by the pinctrl driver instead of the pinctrl consumer drivers,
I don't have issues with this patchset. So probably just improving
the patch messages a bit should do it.

FYI, on omaps, the PRCM hardware saves and restores the pinctrl
state so this has not been so far an issue.

Regards,

Tony

The pinctrl provider driver that I am using is pinctrl-single, which has
proper suspend/resume callbacks but those are not causing any HW
programming to happen because of the (p->state == state) check, hence
this patch series.

So we are talking about these callbacks, correct?

#ifdef CONFIG_PM
static int pinctrl_single_suspend(struct platform_device *pdev,
                                        pm_message_t state)
{
        struct pcs_device *pcs;

        pcs = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
        if (!pcs)
                return -EINVAL;

        return pinctrl_force_sleep(pcs->pctl);
}

static int pinctrl_single_resume(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
        struct pcs_device *pcs;

        pcs = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
        if (!pcs)
                return -EINVAL;

        return pinctrl_force_default(pcs->pctl);
}
#endif

Which falls through to this:

/**
 * pinctrl_force_sleep() - turn a given controller device into sleep state
 * @pctldev: pin controller device
 */
int pinctrl_force_sleep(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev)
{
        if (!IS_ERR(pctldev->p) && !IS_ERR(pctldev->hog_sleep))
                return pinctrl_select_state(pctldev->p, pctldev->hog_sleep);
        return 0;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pinctrl_force_sleep);

/**
 * pinctrl_force_default() - turn a given controller device into default state
 * @pctldev: pin controller device
 */
int pinctrl_force_default(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev)
{
        if (!IS_ERR(pctldev->p) && !IS_ERR(pctldev->hog_default))
                return pinctrl_select_state(pctldev->p, pctldev->hog_default);
        return 0;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pinctrl_force_default);

So am I right in assuming it is actually the hogs that is your biggest
problem, and those are the states that get lost over suspend/resume
that are especially problematic?

I.e. you don't have any problem with any non-hogged pinctrl
handles, those are handled just fine in the suspend/resume
paths of the client drivers?

If this is the case, it changes the problem scope slightly.

It is fair that functions named *force* should actually enforce
programming a state.

So then I would suggest somethin else: break pinctrl_select_state()
into two:

pinctrl_select_state() that works just like before, checking if
(p->state == state) but which calls a static function
pinctrl_select_state_commit() that commits the change unconditonally.
Then alter pinctrl_force_sleep() and pinctrl_force_sleep() to call
that function.

This should solve your problem without having to alter the semantics
of pinctrl_select_state() for everyone.

If you want I can cook a patch to illustrate what I mean so you can
try it.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

This was exactly what I proposed initially here:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/734326/

I really want to get this fixed, but I can't do that if we keep losing
the context of the discussion (pun intended) :).

Oh sorry man. I am clearly too stupid for this job...

In accordance with things needing to be intuitive, something named
*force_* should of course force the setting into the hardware.

The original patch didn't mention the fact that it was hogs
and hogs only that was causing the trouble and that is why I
got lost. (I guess.) I have been going about this as if it was
something generic that affect all states in all devices, and to
me hogs is just an abscure corner of pin controlling...

I applied the patchwork patch from above, and elaborated
a bit on that it pertains to hogs, let's see what
happens.

For the case where a driver (not hog) needs to handle
suspend/resume transitions, proper states can hopefully
be used.

Yours,
