i think something related is already in
arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c omap3_enter_idle_bm(...):
/*
* Prevent idle completely if CAM is active.
* CAM does not have wakeup capability in OMAP3.
*/
cam_state = pwrdm_read_pwrst(cam_pd);
if (cam_state == PWRDM_POWER_ON) {
new_state = dev->safe_state;
goto select_state;
}
But probably the power domain is not set to ON, and i don't know where
it should be set. Maybe, as Laurent suggested, adding runtime PM
support will fix it?
Thanks,
Enrico
