Jason, For your information, the lpcpd pin is named like this as per PCClientTPMSpecification is also known as TPMSTB on this product. The TPMSTB pin can be used in order to support D1 and D2 power management state. I am actually sorry to refer to Microsoft website here ;) : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff543162%28v=vs.85%29.aspx. As mention by our product datasheet: "In order to reach D1/D2 state, the TPMSTB pin must be connected to a GPIO signal. In state D1/D2, the contents of the volatile memory is *preserved*."
Also "... the implementation of the LPCPD# pin on a TPM is platform and chipset implementation specific." Cf PCClientTPMSpecification. I am currently giving the opportunity to an integrator to use this feature. I don't mind removing the power_mgt module option but don't you think there might be interest for an integrator to update their TPM power management policy on their platform ?

I including this clean up in this > patch Add devicetree structure for a future v2 submission I was just looking at what the remaining lpcpd GPIO does, and.. 1) I think you can probably just make this optional, if it is not specified in the DT or through platform data, just don't fiddle with it. This makes the driver much friendlier - ie it can be manually attached via sysfs for instance. 2) This looks fishy: static int tpm_st33_i2c_pm_suspend(struct device *dev) if (power_mgt) { gpio_set_value(pin_infos->io_lpcpd, 0); } else { ret = tpm_pm_suspend(dev); } I can't think of a reason why the driver wouldn't need to call tpm_pm_suspend to save the internal state? Ditto for restore? I'm also suspicious of the power_mgt module option, that should probably go away entirely?
