This version goes the wrong way, IMHO. This is not what I meant when I
was talking about synchronizing MTD and SPI devices: when accessing the
MTD device we should wake the SPI device up instead of blocking the MTD
handlers when the SPI device enters its suspended mode.
However, the good news is that looking closer at how the runtime pm
works, this synchronization should already be managed:
in drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c:
nor->dev = &spi->dev;
and in drivers/mtd/spi-nor/spi-nor.c:
struct device *dev = nor->dev;
[...]
mtd->dev.parent = dev;
Hence the SPI device is the parent of the MTD device.
Then by default, when resuming a device, the runtime pm framework wakes
the device parent up too: see rmp_resume() from drivers/base/power/runtime.c
About the SPI controller, by default SPI masters ignore their children,
so the SPI controller won't be resumed by the m25p80 SPI device. However
spi_sync() can resume the controller when master->auto_runtime_pm is true.
Then back to the MTD subsystem, maybe you should patch the mtdcore.c
file rather than m25p80.c so the whole MTD subsystem could take
advantage of your work on power management:
you could update the .pm member of 'struct class' mtd_class to add
runtime pm support to the already existing system-wide power management
support. I guess you will have to add new hooks such mtd->_pm_suspend
and mtd->_pm_resume. Finally spi-nor.c will implement those 2 hooks (and
the NAND subsystem may also implement them as needed).
Boris, does it make sense?
Also, one last comment: I guess a call to pm_runtime_enable() is missing
somewhere is this series, otherwise I don't think this could work.
Besides, depending on where it will be added, we should not call
pm_runtime_enable() unconditionally thinking of users who don't want to
use this feature sending unneeded SPI commands to the memory.
Best regards,
Cyrille
