[PATCH v9 03/11] PM / Domains: Document flags for genpd

From: Ulf Hansson
Date: Wed Oct 03 2018 - 10:39:45 EST


The current documented description of the GENPD_FLAG_* flags, are too
simplified, so let's extend them.

+ * Flags to control the behaviour of a genpd.
+ *
+ * These flags may be set in the struct generic_pm_domain's flags field by a
+ * genpd backend driver. The flags must be set before it calls pm_genpd_init(),
+ * which initializes a genpd.
+ *
+ * GENPD_FLAG_PM_CLK: Instructs genpd to use the PM clk framework,
+ * while powering on/off attached devices.
+ *
+ * GENPD_FLAG_IRQ_SAFE: This informs genpd that its backend callbacks,
+ * ->power_on|off(), doesn't sleep. Hence, these
+ * can be invoked from within atomic context, which
+ * enables genpd to power on/off the PM domain,
+ * even when pm_runtime_is_irq_safe() returns true,
+ * for any of its attached devices. Note that, a
+ * genpd having this flag set, requires its
+ * masterdomains to also have it set.
+ *
+ * GENPD_FLAG_ALWAYS_ON: Instructs genpd to always keep the PM domain
+ * powered on.
+ *
+ * GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP: Instructs genpd to keep the PM domain powered
+ * on, in case any of its attached devices is used
+ * in the wakeup path to serve system wakeups.
