2018-03-22firmware: add firmware_request_cache() to help with cache on rebootLuis R. Rodriguez1-0/+14
Some devices have an optimization in place to enable the firmware to be retaineed during a system reboot, so after reboot the device can skip requesting and loading the firmware. This can save up to 1s in load time. The mt7601u 802.11 device happens to be such a device. When these devices retain the firmware on a reboot and then suspend they can miss looking for the firmware on resume. To help with this we need a way to cache the firmware when such an optimization has taken place. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2018-03-22usb: typec: API for controlling USB Type-C MultiplexersHeikki Krogerus1-11/+62
USB Type-C connectors consist of various muxes and switches that route the pins on the connector to the right locations. The USB Type-C drivers need to be able to control the muxes, as they are the ones that know things like the cable plug orientation, and the current mode that was negotiated with the partner. This introduces a small API for registering and controlling cable plug orientation switches, and separate small API for registering and controlling pin multiplexer/demultiplexer switches that are needed with Accessory/Alternate Modes.

2018-03-22drivers: base: Unified device connection lookupHeikki Krogerus1-0/+43
Several frameworks - clk, gpio, phy, pmw, etc. - maintain lookup tables for describing connections and provide custom API for handling them. This introduces a single generic lookup table and API for the connections. The motivation for this commit is centralizing the connection lookup, but the goal is to ultimately extract the connection descriptions also from firmware by using the fwnode_graph_* functions and other mechanisms that are available.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This includes some infrastructure changes in the PM core, mostly related to integration between runtime PM and system-wide suspend and hibernation, plus some driver changes depending on them and fixes for issues in that area which have become quite apparent recently. Also included are changes making more x86-based systems use the Low Power Sleep S0 _DSM interface by default, which turned out to be necessary to handle power button wakeups from suspend-to-idle on Surface Pro3. On the cpufreq front we have fixes and cleanups in the core, some new hardware support, driver updates and the removal of some unused code from the CPU cooling thermal driver. Apart from this, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is prepared to be used with power domains in the future and there is a usual bunch of assorted fixes and cleanups. Specifics: - Define a PM driver flag allowing drivers to request that their devices be left in suspend after system-wide transitions to the working state if possible and add support for it to the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain (Rafael Wysocki). - Make the PM core carry out optimizations for devices with driver PM flags set in some cases and make a few drivers set those flags (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix and clean up wrapper routines allowing runtime PM device callbacks to be re-used for system-wide PM, change the generic power domains (genpd) framework to stop using those routines incorrectly and fix up a driver depending on that behavior of genpd (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven). - Fix and clean up the PM core's device wakeup framework and re-factor system-wide PM core code related to device wakeup (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson, Brian Norris). - Make more x86-based systems use the Low Power Sleep S0 _DSM interface by default (to fix power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on Surface Pro3) and add a kernel command line switch to tell it to ignore the system sleep blacklist in the ACPI core (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix a race condition related to cpufreq governor module removal and clean up the governor management code in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki). - Drop the unused generic code related to the handling of the static power energy usage model in the CPU cooling thermal driver along with the corresponding documentation (Viresh Kumar). - Add mt2712 support to the Mediatek cpufreq driver (Andrew-sh Cheng). - Add a new operating point to the imx6ul and imx6q cpufreq drivers and switch the latter to using clk_bulk_get() (Anson Huang, Dong Aisheng). - Add support for multiple regulators to the TI cpufreq driver along with a new DT binding related to that and clean up that driver somewhat (Dave Gerlach). - Fix a powernv cpufreq driver regression leading to incorrect CPU frequency reporting, fix that driver to deal with non-continguous P-states correctly and clean it up (Gautham Shenoy, Shilpasri Bhat). - Add support for frequency scaling on Armada 37xx SoCs through the generic DT cpufreq driver (Gregory CLEMENT). - Fix error code paths in the mvebu cpufreq driver (Gregory CLEMENT). - Fix a transition delay setting regression in the longhaul cpufreq driver (Viresh Kumar). - Add Skylake X (server) support to the intel_pstate cpufreq driver and clean up that driver somewhat (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Clean up the cpufreq statistics collection code (Viresh Kumar). - Drop cluster terminology and dependency on physical_package_id from the PSCI driver and drop dependency on arm_big_little from the SCPI cpufreq driver (Sudeep Holla). - Add support for system-wide suspend and resume to the RAPL power capping driver and drop a redundant semicolon from it (Zhen Han, Luis de Bethencourt). - Make SPI domain validation (in the SCSI SPI transport driver) and system-wide suspend mutually exclusive as they rely on the same underlying mechanism and cannot be carried out at the same time (Bart Van Assche). - Fix the computation of the amount of memory to preallocate in the hibernation core and clean up one function in there (Rainer Fiebig, Kyungsik Lee). - Prepare the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework for being used with power domains and clean up one function in it (Viresh Kumar, Wei Yongjun). - Clean up the generic sysfs interface for device PM (Andy Shevchenko). - Fix several minor issues in power management frameworks and clean them up a bit (Arvind Yadav, Bjorn Andersson, Geert Uytterhoeven, Gustavo Silva, Julia Lawall, Luis de Bethencourt, Paul Gortmaker, Sergey Senozhatsky, gaurav jindal). - Make it easier to disable PM via Kconfig (Mark Brown). - Clean up the cpupower and intel_pstate_tracer utilities (Doug Smythies, Laura Abbott)" * tag 'pm-4.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (89 commits) PCI / PM: Remove spurious semicolon cpufreq: scpi: remove arm_big_little dependency drivers: psci: remove cluster terminology and dependency on physical_package_id powercap: intel_rapl: Fix trailing semicolon dmaengine: rcar-dmac: Make DMAC reinit during system resume explicit PM / runtime: Allow no callbacks in pm_runtime_force_suspend|resume() PM / hibernate: Drop unused parameter of enough_swap PM / runtime: Check ignore_children in pm_runtime_need_not_resume() PM / runtime: Rework pm_runtime_force_suspend/resume() PM / genpd: Stop/start devices without pm_runtime_force_suspend/resume() cpufreq: powernv: Dont assume distinct pstate values for nominal and pmin cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add Skylake servers support cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace bxt_funcs with core_funcs platform/x86: surfacepro3: Support for wakeup from suspend-to-idle ACPI / PM: Use Low Power S0 Idle on more systems PM / wakeup: Print warn if device gets enabled as wakeup source during sleep PM / domains: Don't skip driver's ->suspend|resume_noirq() callbacks PM / core: Propagate wakeup_path status flag in __device_suspend_late() PM / core: Re-structure code for clearing the direct_complete flag powercap: add suspend and resume mechanism for SOC power limit ...

2018-01-03PM / core: Direct DPM_FLAG_LEAVE_SUSPENDED handlingRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+9
Make the PM core handle DPM_FLAG_LEAVE_SUSPENDED directly for devices whose "noirq", "late" and "early" driver callbacks are invoked directly by it. Namely, make it skip all of the system-wide resume callbacks for such devices with DPM_FLAG_LEAVE_SUSPENDED set if they are in runtime suspend during the "noirq" phase of system-wide suspend (or analogous) transitions or the system transition under way is a proper suspend (rather than anything related to hibernation) and the device's wakeup settings are compatible with runtime PM (that is, the device cannot generate wakeup signals at all or it is allowed to wake up the system from sleep). Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
2018-01-03PM / core: Direct DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND optimizationRafael J. Wysocki1-8/+10
Make the PM core avoid invoking the "late" and "noirq" system-wide suspend (or analogous) callbacks provided by device drivers directly for devices with DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND set that are in runtime suspend during the "late" and "noirq" phases of system-wide suspend (or analogous) transitions. That is only done for devices without any middle-layer "late" and "noirq" suspend callbacks (to avoid confusing the middle layer if there is one). The underlying observation is that runtime PM is disabled for devices during the "late" and "noirq" system-wide suspend phases, so if they remain in runtime suspend from the "late" phase forward, it doesn't make sense to invoke the "late" and "noirq" callbacks provided by the drivers for them (arguably, the device is already suspended and in the right state). Thus, if the remaining driver suspend callbacks are to be invoked directly by the core, they can be skipped. This change really makes it possible for, say, platform device drivers to re-use runtime PM suspend and resume callbacks by pointing ->suspend_late and ->resume_early, respectively (and possibly the analogous hibernation-related callback pointers too), to them without adding any extra "is the device already suspended?" type of checks to the callback routines, as long as they will be invoked directly by the core.
