Anyway, I will also test it on both OMAP3EVM and AM33xx platform now... Thanks, Vaibhav

Thanks, please let me know how your tests go. If it doesn't work, we'll go back to the flag-based approach in the patch I posted already. - Paul

That would be great. I took a look at SPRUH73F and sure enough, at least one module (CONTROL) doesn't support smart-idle -- per Table 14-217 "CONTROL Register Field Descriptions". I'd guess that the PRCM won't idle-req this IP block until the kernel is not running, so we might be able to get away with the existing approach; but the TRM also says: "By definition, initiator may generate read/write transaction as long as it is out of IDLE state." Which pretty much matches my understanding too of the implicit interface contract here. So I think we'd better go back to the flag approach as implemented in this patch: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg176836.html The WBU 32k sync timer's behavior is what relies on quirks of the integration that are hard to identify via other means, so it seems to be safest to tag it explicitly. - Paul

Thanks for reporting this, I've added some credit in the patch description. This has been fixed by switching back to using a flag-based approach based on some comments from Vaibhav Hiremath. - Paul

Why are you sure about that? As explained to Paul, using the force-idle will do the same as smart-idle most of the time. So what power impact are you expecting? > So, I also feel that, flag based approach should be used here. Why? Why adding a new flag to detect a condition that is already captured somewhere else?
