We can add this for you driver as well. Regarding corecfg_*, unless that also can be managed via a generic interface (perhaps through syscon), then you need to manage that via genpd. Is that the case? > autosuspend in driver, we have to re-init context. I didn't test the Yes, that's a common scenario, many device drivers do this - as to avoid wasting power. > latency, if it's acceptable, we will apply it.:-) Latency constraints may be controlled via the genpd governor. Moreover we also have the runtime PM autosuspend feature, which is useful when you don't wont to runtime suspend the device between each and every request. Thus avoiding latencies when there are a "burst" of requests. > But it's not a blocker, right? > Hmm, I just want to make sure we do the right things. Else it might just bite us in the other end. Again, my recommendation is to start with runtime PM then continue with system PM. I can imagine you will get system PM "free" if using the runtime PM centric approach. Kind regards Uffe
