[PATCH] ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod code/data: fix 32K sync timer

Kevin discovered that commit c8d82ff68fb6873691536cf33021977efbf5593c
("ARM: OMAP2/3: hwmod data: Add 32k-sync timer data to hwmod
database") broke CORE idle on OMAP3.  This blocks device low power
states.

The root cause is that the 32K sync timer IP block does not support
smart-idle mode[1], and so the hwmod code keeps the IP block in
no-idle mode while it is active.  This in turn prevents the WKUP
clockdomain from transitioning to idle.  There is a hardcoded sleep
dependency that prevents the CORE_L3 and CORE_CM clockdomains from
transitioning to idle when the WKUP clockdomain is active[2], so the
chip cannot enter any device low power states.

It turns out that there is no need to take the 32k sync timer out of
idle.  The IP block itself probably does not have any native idle
handling at all, due to its simplicity.  Furthermore, the PRCM will
never request target idle for this IP block while the kernel is
running, due to the sleep dependency that prevents the WKUP
clockdomain from idling while the CORE_L3 clockdomain is active.  So
we can safely leave the 32k sync timer in target-no-idle mode, even
while we continue to access it.

This workaround is implemented by defining a new hwmod flag,
HWMOD_ALWAYS_FORCE_SIDLE, that places the IP block into target
force-idle mode even when enabled.  The 32k sync timer hwmods are
marked with this flag for OMAP3 and OMAP4 SoCs.  (On OMAP2xxx, no OCP
header existed on the 32k sync timer.)

Another theoretically clean fix for this problem would be to implement
PM runtime-based control for 32k sync timer accesses.  These PM
runtime calls would need to located in a custom clocksource, since the
32k sync timer is currently used as an MMIO clocksource.  But in
practice, there would be little benefit to doing so; and there would
be some cost, due to the addition of unnecessary lines of code and the
additional CPU overhead of the PM runtime and hwmod code - unnecessary
in this case.

Another possible fix would have been to modify the pm34xx.c code to
force the IP block idle before entering WFI.  But this would not have
been an acceptable approach: we are trying to remove this type of
centralized IP block idle control from the PM code.

This patch is effectively a workaround for a hardware oversight.  A
better hardware approach would have been to implement a smart-idle
target idle mode for this IP block.  The smart-idle mode in this case
would behave identically to the force-idle mode.  We consider the
force-idle and no-idle target idle mode settings to be intended for
debugging and automatic idle management bug workarounds only.

This patch is a collaboration between Kevin Hilman <khilman at ti.com>
and Paul Walmsley <paul at pwsan.com>.
