Hi Rajendra,

A few questions...

Hmmm.  For OMAP3, I was under the impression that the PRCM would request 
that a target module exit idle via SIdleReq when the module's main 
functional clock was enabled.  (Assuming that the interface clock was 
enabled and in auto-idle.)  We would see this happen in the clock code by 
waiting for the CM_IDLEST* bits to change -- apparently these represented 
SIdleReq signals.

The PRCM would wake up the module's functional and interface clockdomains 
if they were in hardware-supervised mode and INACTIVE.  Then the module 
would exit idle and signal the PRCM via SIdleAck.

Then the processor could read and write module registers, etc.

Later, when the processor was finished, it would disable the module's main 
functional clock.  The PRCM would request the module to go idle via 
SIdleReq.  If the module's internal state allowed it to go idle, it would 
do so and use its SIdleAck signal to notify the PRCM.  The PRCM could then 
allow the clockdomains to go INACTIVE if the clocks were not needed.

Is this theory of operation correct?  If so, then it would seem that as 
long as a module's interface clock and main functional clock are enabled, 
module accesses should succeed, with no abort.

On the other hand, reading the 34xx TRM Rev. ZH section 4.12.2.4.6 
"CM_CLKSTCTRL_ <domain name> (Clock State Control Register)", it appears 
that some clockdomains don't take target module idle states into account.  
For example, DSS and USBHOST both contain target modules, but the 
paragraphs on DSS and USBHOST don't mention target module idle states at 
all.  (This section also does not mention SGX or CAM for some reason.)  
Do these clockdomains disregard target idle states when determining 
whether to go INACTIVE?  If so, that would certainly create a need 
to add a sleep dependency whenever a processor wished to access a module.

Or is some other phenomenon happening?

In terms of triage, does this patch fix something that currently doesn't 
work (meaning that we should try to merge it for 2.6.39)?  Or can we plan 
to merge this during the 2.6.40 time frame?  It would be ideal, of course, 
if we could wait until 2.6.40, given how close we are to the merge window 
opening.
