[PATCH v2 0/2] PM / Domains: Second step in improving system PM code in genpd

[Ulf Hansson]

Changes in v2:
	- Updated changelogs for both patches according to comments from Kevin.
	- Updated patch 1/2, as I realized one genpd client driver, (ab)uses
	genpd's suspend_power_off flag.

This is the second step in improving the system PM code in genpd. The first
patch is actually fixing a bug while it also enables for further clean-ups,
which is done in the second patch.

The next step of improving system PM code in genpd will move it to the part of
trying to optimize the behaviour, such as avoid waking up devices unless it's
really needed.

[PATCH v2 1/2] PM / Domains: Allow genpd to power on during the system PM phase

[Ulf Hansson]

If the PM domain is powered off when the first device in the domain starts
its system PM prepare phase, genpd prevents any further attempts to power
on the PM domain during the system PM phase. This constraint affects not
only the current device which is being prepared, but all devices within
the same PM domain.

This behaviour needs to be changed, as a subsystem/driver for a device in
the same PM domain may still need to be able to serve requests in the
system PM phase. Accordingly, it may need to runtime resume its device and
thus also request the corresponding PM domain to be powered on.

To deal with these scenarios, let's make the device operational in the
system PM prepare phase by runtime resuming it, no matter if the PM domain
is powered on or off. Changing this also enables us to remove genpd's
suspend_power_off flag, as it's being used to track this condition.
Additionally, we must allow the PM domain to be powered on via runtime PM
during the system PM phase.

This change also requires a fix in the AMD ACP (Audio CoProcessor) drm
driver. It registers a genpd to model the ACP as a PM domain, but
unfortunately it's also abuses genpd's "internal" suspend_power_off flag
to deal with a corner case at system PM resume.

More precisely, the so called SMU block powers on the ACP at system PM
resume, unconditionally if it's being used or not. This may lead to that
genpd's internal status of the power state, may not correctly reflect the
power state of the HW after a system PM resume.

Because of changing the behaviour of genpd, by runtime resuming devices in
the prepare phase, the AMD ACP drm driver no longer have to deal with this
corner case. So let's just drop the related code in this driver.

Changes in v2:
	- Updated changelog.
	- Added a fix in the AMD ACP (Audio CoProcessor) drm driver, which
	registers a genpd. The fix removes the usage of genpd's internal
	suspend_power_off flag as it's not needed after this change. Because of
	this change I am also requesting an ack from the drm driver maintainer.

[PATCH v2 2/2] PM / Domains: Remove redundant wrapper functions for system PM

[Ulf Hansson]

Due to the previous changes to genpd, which removed the suspend_power_off
flag, several of the system PM callbacks is no longer doing any additional
checks but only invoking a corresponding pm_generic_* helper function.

To clean up the code let's remove these wrapper functions as they have
become redundant. Instead assign the system PM callbacks directly to
the pm_generic_*() helper function.

While changing this, it became clear that some of the current system PM
callbacks in genpd, invokes the wrong callback at the driver level. For
example, genpd's ->restore() callback invokes pm_generic_resume(), while
it should be pm_generic_restore(). Let's fix this as well.
