[PATCH 0/2] drivers: firmware: psci: Extract psci_is_available() helper

[PATCH 0/2] drivers: firmware: psci: Extract psci_is_available() helper

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi Mark, Lorenzo,

PSCI support may be disabled at build time (by configuration) or at
run-time (PSCI firmware not present).  While CONFIG_ARM_PSCI_FW can be
used to check for build time enablement, there is currently no simple
way to check if PSCI is actually available and used.

The first patch adds a helper function to check if PSCI is available.
This is useful for e.g. drivers that are used on platforms with and
without PSCI.  Such drivers may need to take provisions for proper
operation when PSCI is used, and/or to implement functionality that is
usually provided by PSCI.

The second patch makes the PSCI checker use the new helper.

Thanks for your comments!

the psci_ops is a global var, why not check psci_ops.mmnn members
individually in each drivers? check IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM_PSCI_FW) for
building time ennoblement.

IIRC, for PSCI 0.1, cpu_suspend is optional, we can't say the PSCI isn't
available if cpu_suspend is missing.

While psci_ops is a global var, it only exists if CONFIG_ARM_PSCI_FW=y,
so typical code like

    if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM_PSCI_FW) && psci_ops.cpu_suspend) {
            ...
    }

won't link. So having a helper is useful.
The alternative is #ifdef.

Hmm...

Hi Geert,

excuse us the delay in responding. I think it would be better if the
check just carries out a DT/ACPI matching check rather than being based
on PSCI ops initialization but before doing that I would like first to
understand what this function can be actually used for (ie I do not
think the usage in the PSCI checker is relevant to this discussion).

Thanks,
Lorenzo
