[PATCH] of: Add generic handling for hardware incomplete fail state

From: Tony Lindgren
Date: Tue Apr 12 2016 - 14:38:15 EST


We have devices that are in incomplete state, but still need to be
probed to allow properly idling them for PM. Some examples are
devices that are not pinned out on certain packages, or otherwise
not enabled for use on some SoCs.

Setting status = "disabled" cannot be used for this case. Setting
"disabled" makes Linux ignore these devices so they are not probed.

To proper way deal with the incomplete devices is to probe them,
then allow the driver to check the state, and the disable or idle
the device using PM runtime. To do this we need to often enable
the device and run some device specific code to idle the device.

Also boards may have needs to disable and idle unused devices.
This may be needed for example if all resources are not wired
for a certain board variant.

It seems we can use the ePAPR 1.1 status fail-sss to do this.
>From "Table 2-4 Values for status property" we have "fail-sss":

"Indicates that the device is not operational. A serious error was
detected in the device and it is unlikely to become operational
without repair. The sss portion of the value is specific to the
device and indicates the error condition detected."

At least some of these fail states can be handled in a generic
way. So let's introduce a generic status = "fail-hw-incomplete"
that describes a situation where a device driver probe should
just shut down or idle the device if possible and then bail out.
This allows the SoC variant and board specific dts files to set
the status "fail-hw-incomplete" as needed.

The suggested usage in a device driver probe is:

static int foo_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
int err;
...

pm_runtime_enable(&pdev->dev);
pm_runtime_get_sync(&pdev->dev);
pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(&pdev->dev);
...

/* Configure device, load firmware, idle device */
...

if (of_device_is_incomplete(pdev->dev.of_node)) {
err = -ENODEV;
goto out;
}

/* Continue normal device probe */
...

return 0;

out:
pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend(&pdev->dev);
pm_runtime_put_sync(&pdev->dev);
pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev);

return err;
}

Then as needed, handling for other generic status = "fail-sss"
states can be added if needed as per ePAPR 1.1.
