Cover letter [RFC 0/4] OMAP Cpuidle/Suspend Cleanups

Hi,

Here are some CPUidle/Suspend cleanup patches done by adding some more functionality in the OMAP Powerdomain framework. They mostly cleanup OMAP3 but the same ideas can be used/ applied for OMAP4 and beyond.

Quoted 5 lines

The series is based off Teros' series [1] to add usecounting support within the OMAP Powerdomain framework.

The patches are tested with RET/OFF in CPUidle and Suspend on 3630 beagle Xm and 3430 SDP.

This set looks good to me, just requires careful testing that you don't break anything as you are moving lots of stuff around. For debugging purposes (maybe also permanently?), it might be good to keep some sort of failsafe mechanism in place that prevents actual core / per off transitions in case there is a problem with the usecounting, and you accidentally hit core / per off even though the usecounting doesn't expect it (some autoidle mechanism is overlooked for example.)

Quoted 3 lines

Maybe add some caching for the programmed next state, and only program the HW register once we get to the callbacks, and restore the next state to ON after leaving...? This should get rid of any unexpected hangs.ly

Thats exactly what I have been thinking too. The caching is turning out to be a little tricky though. But something like that would certainly be needed, and should also get rid of unwanted (multiple) target state programming.
