Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] dmaengine: dw-axi-dmac: clean up DMAC enable and PM
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 00:10:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1779688569.git.tze.yee.ng@altera.com> (raw)

From: Tze Yee Ng <tze.yee.ng@altera.com>

The DesignWare AXI DMAC driver enables the controller in axi_dma_resume(),
which is invoked from the runtime PM resume path and from probe. Calling
axi_dma_enable() again at the start of every block transfer is redundant
on the normal path.

That extra call had also masked a gap in system-sleep power management:
with only runtime PM callbacks registered, a channel could remain allocated
across suspend/resume while the runtime usage count stayed non-zero and
axi_dma_runtime_resume() was not run, leaving DMAC_CFG and clocks out of
sync with software state. Removing the per-transfer enable without fixing
PM would make that scenario more visible.

This series drops the redundant enable and adds the missing system-sleep
and channel-allocation PM handling called out during review.

Patch 1 removes axi_dma_enable() from axi_chan_block_xfer_start().

Patch 2 (follow-up to review feedback from Sashiko Watanabe):

 - Add SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS(pm_runtime_force_suspend,
   pm_runtime_force_resume) so system suspend/resume reuses the existing
   axi_dma_suspend() and axi_dma_resume() paths even when the runtime
   usage count is non-zero.

 - Replace pm_runtime_get() with pm_runtime_resume_and_get() in
   dma_chan_alloc_chan_resources(), with pm_runtime_put() on error paths,
   so clocks are enabled before a client can submit a transfer immediately
   after allocation.

Changes in v2:
- Add Patch 2 as a follow-up to review feedback from Sashiko Watanabe.
- No changes to Patch 1.
