[RFC] sdhci: use ios->clock to know when sdhci is idle

From: Pierre Tardy
Date: Wed Dec 22 2010 - 08:20:54 EST


This allows sdhci to detect its own activity and to autosuspend
when not used

inspired from mmci: handle clock frequency 0 properly
>From Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
author of mmc aggressive clock gating fw.

The idea of using mmc clock gating fw in order to power gate the
sdhci is simple (hope no too simplistic):
Whenever the mmc fw tells we dont need the MMC clock, we dont need
the sdhci power as well.

This does not mean that the child (card) is
suspended. In case of a Wifi SDIO card, the card will be suspended
and resumed according to the ifconfig up/down status.
Even if the Wifi interface is up, user might not use the network.
Sdhci can be powered off during those period. It is up to the HW
implementation to implement smart enough power gating to still
support enough always-on circuitry allowing to detect sdio
interrupts.

This patch goes on top of Yunpeng's patch available on patchwork:
378052 [v2,2/3] mmc: enable runtime PM support of sdhci host controller
