[RFC PATCH 2/4] soc: qcom: pmic_glink: Report wakeup events on behalf of clients
From: Vladyslav Tymoshchuk
Date: Thu Oct 22 2026 - 12:47:36 EST
The GLINK interrupt is requested with IRQF_NO_SUSPEND, but it is not a
wakeup interrupt: most PMIC GLINK messages, battery status updates for
one, must not wake up the system. A notification that arrives during
system sleep is now held back until the system has resumed, so the
client sees it too late to report it as a wakeup event.
Decide in pmic_glink, when the notification arrives: it is a wakeup
event if the client's device may wake up the system and the client's
wakeup filter, if the client has set one, accepts it. The client
driver picks the default with device_init_wakeup() or
device_set_wakeup_capable(), and user space can change it through
power/wakeup, like for any other device. Report a hard wakeup event,
so that it also brings the system out of suspend-to-idle.
While a wakeup notification is held back, keep the wakeup source of
the client's device active, so that autosleep, or a suspend started
through /sys/power/wakeup_count, does not put the system back to sleep
before the client has seen it. Release it right before the callback
rather than after it, as the client may keep the same wakeup source
active from there.
Responses are not wakeup events, the client is waiting for them.
Keep the device passed to devm_pmic_glink_client_alloc() in the client
for this, and document the function. No in-tree client enables wakeup
on its device yet, so nothing changes for them.

I used an AI assistant (Claude) for the analysis and to draft this
patch and its description; I reviewed the result. The testing is
described in the cover letter.
