+Description:
+
+Provide a place in sysfs for storing the ATA topology of the system. This allows
+retrieving various information about ATA objects.
+
+Files under /sys/class/ata_port
+-------------------------------
+
+ For each port, a directory ataX is created where X is the ata_port_id of
+ the port. The device parent is the ata host device.
+
+idle_irq (read)
+
+ Number of IRQ received by the port while idle [some ata HBA only].
+
+nr_pmp_links (read)
+
+ If a SATA Port Multiplier (PM) is connected, number of link behind it.
+
+Files under /sys/class/ata_link
+-------------------------------
+
+ Behind each port, there is a ata_link. If there is a SATA PM in the
+ topology, 15 ata_link objects are created.
+
+ If a link is behind a port, the directory name is linkX, where X is
+ ata_port_id of the port.
+ If a link is behind a PM, its name is linkX.Y where X is ata_port_id
+ of the parent port and Y the PM port.
+
+hw_sata_spd_limit
+
+ Maximum speed supported by the connected SATA device.
+
+sata_spd_limit
+
+ Maximum speed imposed by libata.
+
+sata_spd
+
+ Current speed of the link [1.5, 3Gps,...].
+
+Files under /sys/class/ata_device
+---------------------------------
+
+ Behind each link, up to two ata device are created.
+ The name of the directory is devX[.Y].Z where:
+ - X is ata_port_id of the port where the device is connected,
+ - Y the port of the PM if any, and
+ - Z the device id: for PATA, there is usually 2 devices [0,1],
+ only 1 for SATA.
+
+class
+ Device class. Can be "ata" for disk, "atapi" for packet device,
+ "pmp" for PM, or "none" if no device was found behind the link.
+
+dma_mode
+
+ Transfer modes supported by the device when in DMA mode.
+ Mostly used by PATA device.
+
+pio_mode
+
+ Transfer modes supported by the device when in PIO mode.
+ Mostly used by PATA device.
+
+xfer_mode
+
+ Current transfer mode.
+
+id
+
+ Cached result of IDENTIFY command, as described in ATA8 7.16 and 7.17.
+ Only valid if the device is not a PM.
+
+gscr
+
+ Cached result of the dump of PM GSCR register.
+ Valid registers are:
+ 0: SATA_PMP_GSCR_PROD_ID,
+ 1: SATA_PMP_GSCR_REV,
+ 2: SATA_PMP_GSCR_PORT_INFO,
+ 32: SATA_PMP_GSCR_ERROR,
+ 33: SATA_PMP_GSCR_ERROR_EN,
+ 64: SATA_PMP_GSCR_FEAT,
+ 96: SATA_PMP_GSCR_FEAT_EN,
+ 130: SATA_PMP_GSCR_SII_GPIO
+ Only valid if the device is a PM.
+
+spdn_cnt
+
+ Number of time libata decided to lower the speed of link due to errors.
+
+ering
+
+ Formatted output of the error ring of the device.

+ becomes idle at run time; they want the device to remain

+ prevent the device from being suspended at run time (similar
+ to writing "on" to the power/control attribute). Values >=
+ 1000 will cause the autosuspend timer expiration to be rounded
+ up to the nearest second.
+
+ Not all drivers support this attribute. If it isn't supported,
+ attempts to read or write it will yield I/O errors.

+Description:
+ The /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match file contains the name of the
+ device associated with the last PM event point saved in the RTC
+ across reboots when pm_trace has been used. More precisely it
+ contains the list of current devices (including those
+ registered by loadable kernel modules since boot) which match
+ the device hash in the RTC at boot, with a newline after each
+ one.
+
+ The advantage of this file over the hash matches printed to the
+ kernel log (see /sys/power/pm_trace), is that it includes
+ devices created after boot by loadable kernel modules.
+
+ Due to the small hash size necessary to fit in the RTC, it is
+ possible that more than one device matches the hash, in which
+ case further investigation is required to determine which
+ device is causing the problem. Note that genuine RTC clock
+ values (such as when pm_trace has not been used), can still

+This document provides an overview of the msm_gpiomux interface, which
+is used to provide gpio pin multiplexing and configuration on mach-msm
+targets.
+
+History
+=======
+
+The first-generation API for gpio configuration & multiplexing on msm
+is the function gpio_tlmm_config(). This function has a few notable
+shortcomings, which led to its deprecation and replacement by gpiomux:
+
+The 'disable' parameter: Setting the second parameter to
+gpio_tlmm_config to GPIO_CFG_DISABLE tells the peripheral
+processor in charge of the subsystem to perform a look-up into a
+low-power table and apply the low-power/sleep setting for the pin.
+As the msm family evolved this became problematic. Not all pins
+have sleep settings, not all peripheral processors will accept requests
+to apply said sleep settings, and not all msm targets have their gpio
+subsystems managed by a peripheral processor. In order to get consistent
+behavior on all targets, drivers are forced to ignore this parameter,
+rendering it useless.
+
+The 'direction' flag: for all mux-settings other than raw-gpio (0),
+the output-enable bit of a gpio is hard-wired to a known
+input (usually VDD or ground). For those settings, the direction flag
+is meaningless at best, and deceptive at worst. In addition, using the
+direction flag to change output-enable (OE) directly can cause trouble in
+gpiolib, which has no visibility into gpio direction changes made
+in this way. Direction control in gpio mode should be made through gpiolib.
+
+Key Features of gpiomux
+=======================
+
+- A consistent interface across all generations of msm. Drivers can expect
+the same results on every target.
+- gpiomux plays nicely with gpiolib. Functions that should belong to gpiolib
+are left to gpiolib and not duplicated here. gpiomux is written with the
+intent that gpio_chips will call gpiomux reference-counting methods
+from their request() and free() hooks, providing full integration.
+- Tabular configuration. Instead of having to call gpio_tlmm_config
+hundreds of times, gpio configuration is placed in a single table.
+- Per-gpio sleep. Each gpio is individually reference counted, allowing only
+those lines which are in use to be put in high-power states.
+- 0 means 'do nothing': all flags are designed so that the default memset-zero
+equates to a sensible default of 'no configuration', preventing users
+from having to provide hundreds of 'no-op' configs for unused or
+unwanted lines.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+To use gpiomux, provide configuration information for relevant gpio lines
+in the msm_gpiomux_configs table. Since a 0 equates to "unconfigured",
+only those lines to be managed by gpiomux need to be specified. Here
+is a completely fictional example:
+
+struct msm_gpiomux_config msm_gpiomux_configs[GPIOMUX_NGPIOS] = {
+ [12] = {
+ .active = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_DRV_8MA | GPIOMUX_FUNC_1,
+ .suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN,
+ },
+ [34] = {
+ .suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN,
+ },
+};
+
+To indicate that a gpio is in use, call msm_gpiomux_get() to increase
+its reference count. To decrease the reference count, call msm_gpiomux_put().
+
+The effect of this configuration is as follows:
+
+When the system boots, gpios 12 and 34 will be initialized with their
+'suspended' configurations. All other gpios, which were left unconfigured,
+will not be touched.
+
+When msm_gpiomux_get() is called on gpio 12 to raise its reference count
+above 0, its active configuration will be applied. Since no other gpio
+line has a valid active configuration, msm_gpiomux_get() will have no
+effect on any other line.
+
+When msm_gpiomux_put() is called on gpio 12 or 34 to drop their reference
+count to 0, their suspended configurations will be applied.
+Since no other gpio line has a valid suspended configuration, no other
+gpio line will be effected by msm_gpiomux_put(). Since gpio 34 has no valid
+active configuration, this is effectively a no-op for gpio 34 as well,
+with one small caveat, see the section "About Output-Enable Settings".
+
+All of the GPIOMUX_VALID flags may seem like unnecessary overhead, but
+they address some important issues. As unused entries (all those
+except 12 and 34) are zero-filled, gpiomux needs a way to distinguish
+the used fields from the unused. In addition, the all-zero pattern
+is a valid configuration! Therefore, gpiomux defines an additional bit
+which is used to indicate when a field is used. This has the pleasant
+side-effect of allowing calls to msm_gpiomux_write to use '0' to indicate
+that a value should not be changed:
+
+ msm_gpiomux_write(0, GPIOMUX_VALID, 0);
+
+replaces the active configuration of gpio 0 with an all-zero configuration,
+but leaves the suspended configuration as it was.
+
+Static Configurations
+=====================
+
+To install a static configuration, which is applied at boot and does
+not change after that, install a configuration with a suspended component
+but no active component, as in the previous example:
+
+ [34] = {
+ .suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN,
+ },
+
+The suspended setting is applied during boot, and the lack of any valid
+active setting prevents any other setting from being applied at runtime.
+If other subsystems attempting to access the line is a concern, one could
+*really* anchor the configuration down by calling msm_gpiomux_get on the
+line at initialization to move the line into active mode. With the line
+held, it will never be re-suspended, and with no valid active configuration,
+no new configurations will be applied.
+
+But then, if having other subsystems grabbing for the line is truly a concern,
+it should be reserved with gpio_request instead, which carries an implicit
+msm_gpiomux_get.
+
+gpiomux and gpiolib
+===================
+
+It is expected that msm gpio_chips will call msm_gpiomux_get() and
+msm_gpiomux_put() from their request and free hooks, like this fictional
+example:
+
+static int request(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned offset)
+{
+ return msm_gpiomux_get(chip->base + offset);
+}
+
+static void free(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned offset)
+{
+ msm_gpiomux_put(chip->base + offset);
+}
+
+ ...somewhere in a gpio_chip declaration...
+ .request = request,
+ .free = free,
+
+This provides important functionality:
+- It guarantees that a gpio line will have its 'active' config applied
+ when the line is requested, and will not be suspended while the line
+ remains requested; and
+- It guarantees that gpio-direction settings from gpiolib behave sensibly.
+ See "About Output-Enable Settings."
+
+This mechanism allows for "auto-request" of gpiomux lines via gpiolib
+when it is suitable. Drivers wishing more exact control are, of course,
+free to also use msm_gpiomux_set and msm_gpiomux_get.
+
+About Output-Enable Settings
+============================
+
+Some msm targets do not have the ability to query the current gpio
+configuration setting. This means that changes made to the output-enable
+(OE) bit by gpiolib cannot be consistently detected and preserved by gpiomux.
+Therefore, when gpiomux applies a configuration setting, any direction
+settings which may have been applied by gpiolib are lost and the default
+input settings are re-applied.
+
+For this reason, drivers should not assume that gpio direction settings
+continue to hold if they free and then re-request a gpio. This seems like
+common sense - after all, anybody could have obtained the line in the
+meantime - but it needs saying.
+
+This also means that calls to msm_gpiomux_write will reset the OE bit,
+which means that if the gpio line is held by a client of gpiolib and
+msm_gpiomux_write is called, the direction setting has been lost and
+gpiolib's internal state has been broken.
+Release gpio lines before reconfiguring them.

+information. The library is located in drivers/base/power/opp.c and the header
+is located in include/linux/opp.h. OPP library can be enabled by enabling
+CONFIG_PM_OPP from power management menuconfig menu. OPP library depends on
+CONFIG_PM as certain SoCs such as Texas Instrument's OMAP framework allows to
+optionally boot at a certain OPP without needing cpufreq.
+
+Typical usage of the OPP library is as follows:
+(users) -> registers a set of default OPPs -> (library)
+SoC framework -> modifies on required cases certain OPPs -> OPP layer
+ -> queries to search/retrieve information ->
+
+OPP layer expects each domain to be represented by a unique device pointer. SoC
+framework registers a set of initial OPPs per device with the OPP layer. This
+list is expected to be an optimally small number typically around 5 per device.
+This initial list contains a set of OPPs that the framework expects to be safely
+enabled by default in the system.
+
+Note on OPP Availability:
+------------------------
+As the system proceeds to operate, SoC framework may choose to make certain
+OPPs available or not available on each device based on various external
+factors. Example usage: Thermal management or other exceptional situations where
+SoC framework might choose to disable a higher frequency OPP to safely continue
+operations until that OPP could be re-enabled if possible.
+
+OPP library facilitates this concept in it's implementation. The following
+operational functions operate only on available opps:
+opp_find_freq_{ceil, floor}, opp_get_voltage, opp_get_freq, opp_get_opp_count
+and opp_init_cpufreq_table
+
+opp_find_freq_exact is meant to be used to find the opp pointer which can then
+be used for opp_enable/disable functions to make an opp available as required.
+
+WARNING: Users of OPP library should refresh their availability count using
+get_opp_count if opp_enable/disable functions are invoked for a device, the
+exact mechanism to trigger these or the notification mechanism to other
+dependent subsystems such as cpufreq are left to the discretion of the SoC
+specific framework which uses the OPP library. Similar care needs to be taken
+care to refresh the cpufreq table in cases of these operations.
+
+WARNING on OPP List locking mechanism:
+-------------------------------------------------
+OPP library uses RCU for exclusivity. RCU allows the query functions to operate
+in multiple contexts and this synchronization mechanism is optimal for a read
+intensive operations on data structure as the OPP library caters to.
+
+To ensure that the data retrieved are sane, the users such as SoC framework
+should ensure that the section of code operating on OPP queries are locked
+using RCU read locks. The opp_find_freq_{exact,ceil,floor},
+opp_get_{voltage, freq, opp_count} fall into this category.
+
+opp_{add,enable,disable} are updaters which use mutex and implement it's own
+RCU locking mechanisms. opp_init_cpufreq_table acts as an updater and uses
+mutex to implment RCU updater strategy. These functions should *NOT* be called
+under RCU locks and other contexts that prevent blocking functions in RCU or
+mutex operations from working.
+
+2. Initial OPP List Registration
+================================
+The SoC implementation calls opp_add function iteratively to add OPPs per
+device. It is expected that the SoC framework will register the OPP entries
+optimally- typical numbers range to be less than 5. The list generated by
+registering the OPPs is maintained by OPP library throughout the device
+operation. The SoC framework can subsequently control the availability of the
+OPPs dynamically using the opp_enable / disable functions.
+
+opp_add - Add a new OPP for a specific domain represented by the device pointer.
+ The OPP is defined using the frequency and voltage. Once added, the OPP
+ is assumed to be available and control of it's availability can be done
+ with the opp_enable/disable functions. OPP library internally stores
+ and manages this information in the opp struct. This function may be
+ used by SoC framework to define a optimal list as per the demands of
+ SoC usage environment.
+
+ WARNING: Do not use this function in interrupt context.
+
+ Example:
+ soc_pm_init()
+ {
+ /* Do things */
+ r = opp_add(mpu_dev, 1000000, 900000);
+ if (!r) {
+ pr_err("%s: unable to register mpu opp(%d)\n", r);
+ goto no_cpufreq;
+ }
+ /* Do cpufreq things */
+ no_cpufreq:
+ /* Do remaining things */
+ }
+
+3. OPP Search Functions
+=======================
+High level framework such as cpufreq operates on frequencies. To map the
+frequency back to the corresponding OPP, OPP library provides handy functions
+to search the OPP list that OPP library internally manages. These search
+functions return the matching pointer representing the opp if a match is
+found, else returns error. These errors are expected to be handled by standard
+error checks such as IS_ERR() and appropriate actions taken by the caller.
+
+opp_find_freq_exact - Search for an OPP based on an *exact* frequency and
+ availability. This function is especially useful to enable an OPP which
+ is not available by default.
+ Example: In a case when SoC framework detects a situation where a
+ higher frequency could be made available, it can use this function to
+ find the OPP prior to call the opp_enable to actually make it available.
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, false);
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+ /* dont operate on the pointer.. just do a sanity check.. */
+ if (IS_ERR(opp)) {
+ pr_err("frequency not disabled!\n");
+ /* trigger appropriate actions.. */
+ } else {
+ opp_enable(dev,1000000000);
+ }
+
+ NOTE: This is the only search function that operates on OPPs which are
+ not available.
+
+opp_find_freq_floor - Search for an available OPP which is *at most* the
+ provided frequency. This function is useful while searching for a lesser
+ match OR operating on OPP information in the order of decreasing
+ frequency.
+ Example: To find the highest opp for a device:
+ freq = ULONG_MAX;
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ opp_find_freq_floor(dev, &freq);
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+
+opp_find_freq_ceil - Search for an available OPP which is *at least* the
+ provided frequency. This function is useful while searching for a
+ higher match OR operating on OPP information in the order of increasing
+ frequency.
+ Example 1: To find the lowest opp for a device:
+ freq = 0;
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq);
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+ Example 2: A simplified implementation of a SoC cpufreq_driver->target:
+ soc_cpufreq_target(..)
+ {
+ /* Do stuff like policy checks etc. */
+ /* Find the best frequency match for the req */
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq);
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+ if (!IS_ERR(opp))
+ soc_switch_to_freq_voltage(freq);
+ else
+ /* do something when we cant satisfy the req */
+ /* do other stuff */
+ }
+
+4. OPP Availability Control Functions
+=====================================
+A default OPP list registered with the OPP library may not cater to all possible
+situation. The OPP library provides a set of functions to modify the
+availability of a OPP within the OPP list. This allows SoC frameworks to have
+fine grained dynamic control of which sets of OPPs are operationally available.
+These functions are intended to *temporarily* remove an OPP in conditions such
+as thermal considerations (e.g. don't use OPPx until the temperature drops).
+
+WARNING: Do not use these functions in interrupt context.
+
+opp_enable - Make a OPP available for operation.
+ Example: Lets say that 1GHz OPP is to be made available only if the
+ SoC temperature is lower than a certain threshold. The SoC framework
+ implementation might choose to do something as follows:
+ if (cur_temp < temp_low_thresh) {
+ /* Enable 1GHz if it was disabled */
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, false);
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+ /* just error check */
+ if (!IS_ERR(opp))
+ ret = opp_enable(dev, 1000000000);
+ else
+ goto try_something_else;
+ }
+
+opp_disable - Make an OPP to be not available for operation
+ Example: Lets say that 1GHz OPP is to be disabled if the temperature
+ exceeds a threshold value. The SoC framework implementation might
+ choose to do something as follows:
+ if (cur_temp > temp_high_thresh) {
+ /* Disable 1GHz if it was enabled */
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, true);
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+ /* just error check */
+ if (!IS_ERR(opp))
+ ret = opp_disable(dev, 1000000000);
+ else
+ goto try_something_else;
+ }
+
+5. OPP Data Retrieval Functions
+===============================
+Since OPP library abstracts away the OPP information, a set of functions to pull
+information from the OPP structure is necessary. Once an OPP pointer is
+retrieved using the search functions, the following functions can be used by SoC
+framework to retrieve the information represented inside the OPP layer.
+
+opp_get_voltage - Retrieve the voltage represented by the opp pointer.
+ Example: At a cpufreq transition to a different frequency, SoC
+ framework requires to set the voltage represented by the OPP using
+ the regulator framework to the Power Management chip providing the
+ voltage.
+ soc_switch_to_freq_voltage(freq)
+ {
+ /* do things */
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq);
+ v = opp_get_voltage(opp);
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+ if (v)
+ regulator_set_voltage(.., v);
+ /* do other things */
+ }
+
+opp_get_freq - Retrieve the freq represented by the opp pointer.
+ Example: Lets say the SoC framework uses a couple of helper functions
+ we could pass opp pointers instead of doing additional parameters to
+ handle quiet a bit of data parameters.
+ soc_cpufreq_target(..)
+ {
+ /* do things.. */
+ max_freq = ULONG_MAX;
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ max_opp = opp_find_freq_floor(dev,&max_freq);
+ requested_opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev,&freq);
+ if (!IS_ERR(max_opp) && !IS_ERR(requested_opp))
+ r = soc_test_validity(max_opp, requested_opp);
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+ /* do other things */
+ }
+ soc_test_validity(..)
+ {
+ if(opp_get_voltage(max_opp) < opp_get_voltage(requested_opp))
+ return -EINVAL;
+ if(opp_get_freq(max_opp) < opp_get_freq(requested_opp))
+ return -EINVAL;
+ /* do things.. */
+ }
+
+opp_get_opp_count - Retrieve the number of available opps for a device
+ Example: Lets say a co-processor in the SoC needs to know the available
+ frequencies in a table, the main processor can notify as following:
+ soc_notify_coproc_available_frequencies()
+ {
+ /* Do things */
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ num_available = opp_get_opp_count(dev);
+ speeds = kzalloc(sizeof(u32) * num_available, GFP_KERNEL);
+ /* populate the table in increasing order */
+ freq = 0;
+ while (!IS_ERR(opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq))) {
+ speeds[i] = freq;
+ freq++;
+ i++;
+ }
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+
+ soc_notify_coproc(AVAILABLE_FREQs, speeds, num_available);
+ /* Do other things */
+ }
+
+6. Cpufreq Table Generation
+===========================
+opp_init_cpufreq_table - cpufreq framework typically is initialized with
+ cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo which is provided with the list of
+ frequencies that are available for operation. This function provides
+ a ready to use conversion routine to translate the OPP layer's internal
+ information about the available frequencies into a format readily
+ providable to cpufreq.
+
+ WARNING: Do not use this function in interrupt context.
+
+ Example:
+ soc_pm_init()
+ {
+ /* Do things */
+ r = opp_init_cpufreq_table(dev, &freq_table);
+ if (!r)
+ cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo(policy, freq_table);
+ /* Do other things */
+ }
+
+ NOTE: This function is available only if CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is enabled in
+ addition to CONFIG_PM as power management feature is required to
+ dynamically scale voltage and frequency in a system.
+
+7. Data Structures
+==================
+Typically an SoC contains multiple voltage domains which are variable. Each
+domain is represented by a device pointer. The relationship to OPP can be
+represented as follows:
+SoC
+ |- device 1
+ | |- opp 1 (availability, freq, voltage)
+ | |- opp 2 ..
+ ... ...
+ | `- opp n ..
+ |- device 2
+ ...
+ `- device m
+
+OPP library maintains a internal list that the SoC framework populates and
+accessed by various functions as described above. However, the structures
+representing the actual OPPs and domains are internal to the OPP library itself
+to allow for suitable abstraction reusable across systems.
+
+struct opp - The internal data structure of OPP library which is used to
+ represent an OPP. In addition to the freq, voltage, availability
+ information, it also contains internal book keeping information required
+ for the OPP library to operate on. Pointer to this structure is
+ provided back to the users such as SoC framework to be used as a
+ identifier for OPP in the interactions with OPP layer.
+
+ WARNING: The struct opp pointer should not be parsed or modified by the
+ users. The defaults of for an instance is populated by opp_add, but the
+ availability of the OPP can be modified by opp_enable/disable functions.
+
+struct device - This is used to identify a domain to the OPP layer. The
+ nature of the device and it's implementation is left to the user of
+ OPP library such as the SoC framework.
+
+Overall, in a simplistic view, the data structure operations is represented as
+following:
+
+Initialization / modification:
+ +-----+ /- opp_enable
+opp_add --> | opp | <-------
+ | +-----+ \- opp_disable
+ \-------> domain_info(device)
+
+Search functions:
+ /-- opp_find_freq_ceil ---\ +-----+
+domain_info<---- opp_find_freq_exact -----> | opp |
+ \-- opp_find_freq_floor ---/ +-----+
+
+Retrieval functions:
++-----+ /- opp_get_voltage
+| opp | <---
++-----+ \- opp_get_freq
+
+domain_info <- opp_get_opp_count

@@ -524,3 +599,141 @@ poweroff and run-time suspend callback, and similarly for system resume, thaw,
restore, and run-time resume, can achieve this with the help of the
UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro defined in include/linux/pm.h (possibly setting its
last argument to NULL).
+
+8. "No-Callback" Devices
+
+Some "devices" are only logical sub-devices of their parent and cannot be
+power-managed on their own. (The prototype example is a USB interface. Entire
+USB devices can go into low-power mode or send wake-up requests, but neither is
+possible for individual interfaces.) The drivers for these devices have no
+need of run-time PM callbacks; if the callbacks did exist, ->runtime_suspend()
+and ->runtime_resume() would always return 0 without doing anything else and
+->runtime_idle() would always call pm_runtime_suspend().
+
+Subsystems can tell the PM core about these devices by calling
+pm_runtime_no_callbacks(). This should be done after the device structure is
+initialized and before it is registered (although after device registration is
+also okay). The routine will set the device's power.no_callbacks flag and
+prevent the non-debugging run-time PM sysfs attributes from being created.
+
+When power.no_callbacks is set, the PM core will not invoke the
+->runtime_idle(), ->runtime_suspend(), or ->runtime_resume() callbacks.
+Instead it will assume that suspends and resumes always succeed and that idle
+devices should be suspended.
+
+As a consequence, the PM core will never directly inform the device's subsystem
+or driver about run-time power changes. Instead, the driver for the device's
+parent must take responsibility for telling the device's driver when the
+parent's power state changes.
+
+9. Autosuspend, or automatically-delayed suspends
+
+Changing a device's power state isn't free; it requires both time and energy.
+A device should be put in a low-power state only when there's some reason to
+think it will remain in that state for a substantial time. A common heuristic
+says that a device which hasn't been used for a while is liable to remain
+unused; following this advice, drivers should not allow devices to be suspended
+at run-time until they have been inactive for some minimum period. Even when
+the heuristic ends up being non-optimal, it will still prevent devices from
+"bouncing" too rapidly between low-power and full-power states.
+
+The term "autosuspend" is an historical remnant. It doesn't mean that the
+device is automatically suspended (the subsystem or driver still has to call
+the appropriate PM routines); rather it means that run-time suspends will
+automatically be delayed until the desired period of inactivity has elapsed.
+
+Inactivity is determined based on the power.last_busy field. Drivers should
+call pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() to update this field after carrying out I/O,
+typically just before calling pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(). The desired length
+of the inactivity period is a matter of policy. Subsystems can set this length
+initially by calling pm_runtime_set_autosuspend_delay(), but after device
+registration the length should be controlled by user space, using the
+/sys/devices/.../power/autosuspend_delay_ms attribute.
+
+In order to use autosuspend, subsystems or drivers must call
+pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() (preferably before registering the device), and
+thereafter they should use the various *_autosuspend() helper functions instead
+of the non-autosuspend counterparts:
+
+ Instead of: pm_runtime_suspend use: pm_runtime_autosuspend;
+ Instead of: pm_schedule_suspend use: pm_request_autosuspend;
+ Instead of: pm_runtime_put use: pm_runtime_put_autosuspend;
+ Instead of: pm_runtime_put_sync use: pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend.
+
+Drivers may also continue to use the non-autosuspend helper functions; they
+will behave normally, not taking the autosuspend delay into account.
+Similarly, if the power.use_autosuspend field isn't set then the autosuspend
+helper functions will behave just like the non-autosuspend counterparts.
+
+The implementation is well suited for asynchronous use in interrupt contexts.
+However such use inevitably involves races, because the PM core can't
+synchronize ->runtime_suspend() callbacks with the arrival of I/O requests.
+This synchronization must be handled by the driver, using its private lock.
+Here is a schematic pseudo-code example:
+
+ foo_read_or_write(struct foo_priv *foo, void *data)
+ {
+ lock(&foo->private_lock);
+ add_request_to_io_queue(foo, data);
+ if (foo->num_pending_requests++ == 0)
+ pm_runtime_get(&foo->dev);
+ if (!foo->is_suspended)
+ foo_process_next_request(foo);
+ unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+ }
+
+ foo_io_completion(struct foo_priv *foo, void *req)
+ {
+ lock(&foo->private_lock);
+ if (--foo->num_pending_requests == 0) {
+ pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(&foo->dev);
+ pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(&foo->dev);
+ } else {
+ foo_process_next_request(foo);
+ }
+ unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+ /* Send req result back to the user ... */
+ }
+
+ int foo_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev)
+ {
+ struct foo_priv foo = container_of(dev, ...);
+ int ret = 0;
+
+ lock(&foo->private_lock);
+ if (foo->num_pending_requests > 0) {
+ ret = -EBUSY;
+ } else {
+ /* ... suspend the device ... */
+ foo->is_suspended = 1;
+ }
+ unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+ return ret;
+ }
+
+ int foo_runtime_resume(struct device *dev)
+ {
+ struct foo_priv foo = container_of(dev, ...);
+
+ lock(&foo->private_lock);
+ /* ... resume the device ... */
+ foo->is_suspended = 0;
+ pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(&foo->dev);
+ if (foo->num_pending_requests > 0)
+ foo_process_requests(foo);
+ unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+The important point is that after foo_io_completion() asks for an autosuspend,
+the foo_runtime_suspend() callback may race with foo_read_or_write().
+Therefore foo_runtime_suspend() has to check whether there are any pending I/O
+requests (while holding the private lock) before allowing the suspend to
