Subject: PWM backlight build warning
Date: Sun, 07 Apr 2013 06:33:35 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51606A7F.3050803@prisktech.co.nz> (raw)

Hi Thierry,

Sorry it's taken so long to report this but I've been tied up with other 
patches recently. I noticed a build warning on the pwm_bl driver in 
3.9-rcX but I'm not sure what the correct resolution would be. This patch:

commit e2c17bc6f717a8847df2a867caec6ba4fe85f3fc
backlight: convert pwm_bl to dev_pm_ops

Should be no functional changes, mainly a reorganisation to support 
future work.

[akpm at linux-foundation.org: fix CONFIG_PM=n build]

has introduced a two build warnings in my config:
drivers/video/backlight/pwm_bl.c:278:12: warning: 
?pwm_backlight_suspend? defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
drivers/video/backlight/pwm_bl.c:292:12: warning: ?pwm_backlight_resume? 
defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

Although I noticed it doesn't have your acked-by ;)


Selecting "Run-time PM core functionality" without "Suspend to RAM and 
standby" causes the unused function warning.
With CONFIG_PM=n, no warnings. With CONFIG_PM=y and CONFIG_PM_SLEEP=y, 
no warnings.

The problem occurs because when CONFIG_PM=y but CONFIG_PM_SLEEP=n:

#define SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS(name, suspend_fn, resume_fn) \
const struct dev_pm_ops name = { \
SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS(syspend_fn, resume_fn) \
}

#ifdef CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
#define SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS(suspend_fn, resume_fn) \
.suspend = suspend_fn, \
.resume = resume_fn, \
.freeze = suspend_fn, \
.thaw = resume_fn, \
.poweroff = suspend_fn, \
.restore = resume_fn,
#else
#define SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS(suspend_fn, resume_fn)
#endif

I guess this would be a problem on every driver that has been converted 
to SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS.
I don't know enough about the PM code to offer a fix, or whethermy 
chosen config is just 'invalid'.

Regards
Tony P
