Quite honestly I'm probably not the right person to be reviewing this
code. I mostly just noticed one of your early patches and it looked
strange to me. Hopefully someone with actual experience in how all
the DRM components work together can actually review and see if this
makes sense. Maybe Sean would know better?

That being said, let me at least look at what you're saying...

Sure, it's part of the sequence. It's also documented in pm.h as:

* The principal role of this callback is to prevent new children of
* the device from being registered after it has returned (the driver's
* subsystem and generally the rest of the kernel is supposed to prevent
* new calls to the probe method from being made too once @prepare() has
* succeeded).

It does not feel like that matches your usage of this call.

So the general model in Linux is that children suspend before their
parents, right? So you're saying that, in this case, the parent needs
to act on the child before the child suspends. Is that correct?

Rather than hijacking the prepare/complete, I'd be at least slightly
inclined to move the other driver to turn off its clocks in
suspend_late and to turn them back on in resume_early? That seems to
be what was done in "analogix_dp-rockchip.c" to solve a similar
problem.

OK, if there is another driver in DRM then I guess I won't object too
strongly. Note that when searching for other drivers I noticed this
bit in todo.rst:

* Most drivers (except i915 and nouveau) that use
* drm_atomic_helper_suspend/resume() can probably be converted to use
* drm_mode_config_helper_suspend/resume(). Also there's still open-coded version
* of the atomic suspend/resume code in older atomic modeset drivers.

Does anything get fixed if you do that? It seems like it'd cleanup
your code a bit so maybe worth doing anyway...

I guess the last question I'd want resolved is why you have this asymmetry:

SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS(pm_runtime_force_suspend, msm_pm_resume)

Why couldn't you use pm_runtime_force_resume()?

I'm curious if you had answers to any of the questions I posed in my review.

1) i'll update the patch to use "drm_mode_config_helper_suspend/resume". This will help in additional cleanup such as enabling FBDEV emulation in the build.

2) For the asymmetry part,
pm_runtime_force_resume() was not waking up the device forcefully if the usage count is 1. PM core thinks that if usage count is 1 then device can be runtime resumed after suspend/resume sequence is complete. This is true for all the child nodes and the parent node. Hence to overcome that i used pm_runtime_resume on parent.

I have explored a bit on how to handle this cleanly, found an old thread discussing on the similar problem (https://lists.gt.net/linux/kernel/1556562 post no#4 Alan Stern ) the suggestion was to use runtime API's directly in PM Suspend/Resume.

I have found few example implementations on similar lines.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm/-/blob/msm-next/drivers/media/platform/mtk-mdp/mtk_mdp_core.c#L279
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm/-/blob/msm-next/drivers/media/i2c/ak7375.c#L273
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm/-/blob/msm-next/drivers/gnss/sirf.c#L377

I have changed the implementation on those lines in v6.

Summary of the flow now:

PM Sleep --> pm_prepare for parent ( Disable all the DRM CRTCs) --> Suspend for child1, child2 ( turn off child clocks )--> Suspend for parent (turn off parent clocks )

PM Wakeup --> Resume for child1, child2 ( force resume is inactive due to usage count 1, but the call is needed to undo the force suspend things ) --> Resume for Parent (turn on parent clocks ) --> PM_complete for Parent.( By the time we reach here, PM core will remove the usage count for all the children and they are ready for runtime resume. Parent enables CRTCs which will runtime resume all the child clocks)

Let me know your views on it.
