Can you elaborate on the issue you see if we just have domain idle-states ? Is it because we currently create genpd domain for each entry ? If a CPU/Device can be enter idle-state(s) it means that it is in a power domain on its own, so I don't see any issue in such representation. > It's up to the domain (genpd) governor to look at *all* devices in the > domain, check their state and make a domain-wide decision. > Lets not mix the current genpd implementation in the kernel into this discussion for simplicity. How is the implementation in the kernel today and what can be done is a separate topic. What this discussion should aim at is to present the idle states in the system in the device tree so that it address the issues we have currently and extensible in near future with any compatibility issues. > The tricky part remains, IMO, the mapping between device/CPU states and > allowable domain states. > > As was suggested earlier, a good potential starting point would be that > all devices/CPUs would need to be in their deepest state before the > domain would make any decisions.

Some example below for discussion, feel free to add more cases. -- Regards, Sudeep --->8 1.
