The newer SoCs (rk3366, rk3399) take a different usb-phy IP block

If suspend can be called multiple times, resume can be called
multiple times as well. Doesn't this cause a clock imbalance
if you call clk_prepare_enable() multiple times on resume,
but clk_disable_unprepare() only once on suspend ?

Well, what you said is reasonable, How does something like below?

Why does it start in suspended mode ? That seems odd.

This is an initialization. Using above design which make 'suspended' as a
condition both in *_usb2phy_resume and *_usb2phy_suspend, I believe if it
is
not initialized as suspended mode, the first resume process will be
skipped.
I had to re-read the entire patch.

Turns out my problem was one of terminology. Using "suspend" and
"resume" to me suggested the common use of suspend and resume
functions. That is not the case here. After mentally replacing
"suspend" with "power_off" and "resume" with "power_on", you are
right, no problem exists. Sorry for the noise.

Maybe it would be useful to replace "resume" with "power_on" and
"suspend" with "power_off" in the function and variable names to
reduce confusion and misunderstandings.

Guenter

Well, it does have a bits confusion, however, the phy-port always just goes
to suspend and resume mode (Not power off and power on) in a fact. So must
it be renamed?

Other phy drivers name the functions _power_off and _power_on and
avoid the confusion. The callbacks are named .power_off and .power_on,
which gives a clear indication of its intended purpose. Other drivers
implementing suspend/resume (such as the omap usb phy driver) tie
those functions not into the power_off/power_on callbacks, but into
the driver's suspend/resume callbacks. At least the omap driver has
separate power management functions.

Do the functions _have_ to be renamed ? Surely not. But, if the
functions are really suspend/resume functions and not
power_off/power_on functions, maybe they should tie to the
suspend/resume functions and not register themselves as
power_off/power_on functions ?

Thanks,
Guenter

As Guenter mentioned above, I doped out two solutions, one is that keep current process but renaming *_resume/*_suspend to *_power_on/*_power_off; another is that do not assign power_on/power_off functions for phy_ops at phy creating time, then, shorten _SCHEDULE_DELAY_ delay time less that 10 Seconds, and the phy-port suspend/resume mechanism depend on _sm_work_ completely.

So which is the better way from your view? or would you like to give other unique perceptions please?

Theoretically, the phy-port in suspended mode make sense when it is at
start
time, then the upper layer controller will invoke phy_power_on (See
phy-core.c), and it further call back *_usb2phy_resume to make phy-port
work
properly.

So could you tell me what make you feeling odd or would you like to give
another appropriate way please? :-)
