Re: [PATCH V6 4/4] firmware: ti_sci: Introduce system suspend resume support

[Dhruva Gole <d-gole@ti.com>]

Kevin,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a rough proposal inline, please can
you take a look? I will test those changes and respin this series
accordingly

True, this thought occurred to me as well which is why I was thinking
that moving it to ATF might be a better choice.

I must have missed this approach! Are you suggesting something like what
was done for am335?

static const struct platform_suspend_ops am33xx_pm_ops

have a similar code for tisci..?

static const struct platform_suspend_ops tisci_pm_ops = {
	.prepare_late = tisci_set_io_isolation
	};

And then while resuming we may want the pinctrl driver to scan for the
wk_evt bit[0] before the isolation is disabled, so we want the
tisci_resume/ remove isolation to be called later than that.

So I a wondering if the code below makes sense?

static const struct platform_suspend_ops tisci_pm_ops = {
	.prepare_late = tisci_suspend // also includes set isolation
	.end = tisci_resume 	// Disables isolation
	};

However a minor drawback here maybe that the serial logs on the resume
path may not appear when using a serial console for example. However
they should be able to easily access using dmesg.

Thanks for the pointer! I do believe it will make more sense to do it
from linux itself unless we have no way to do it in linux.

[0] Table 5-517. Description Of The Pad Configuration Register Bits
https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruid7

NOTE: The hardware works in such a way that as soon as the IO isolation
is disabled the wake_evt information is lost so the pinctrl-single
driver won't be able to know what pin woke it up if we disable io
isolation before it has the chance to look at the padconf registers
