Yes agreed on that, plus the runtime handling needs to be built in, right

this goes without saying, patches are welcome :)
Okay, so what is the conclusion? Do you want me to do the whole rework of
dma
engine core to get this runtime pm patchset for pl330 merged??? Is there any
roadmap for this rework prepared, so I can at least take a look at the
amount
of work needed to be done?
I'm rather new to dma engine framework and I only wanted to fix pl330 driver
not to block turning off the power domain on Exynos5422/5433 SoCs.
As you probably know, this is a common problem for many dma devices,
slave devices and platforms.
Right, this is a common issue and someone has to finally find a solution
for it.
If possible, it would be great if we could avoid a solution that
doesn't force changes to lots of "dma consumer" drivers.
My current solution doesn't require changing ANY "dma consumer" driver.
However,
I have one more idea how to avoid touching dma engine ("provider")
drivers as
well. This will also address some issues pointed by Lars.
Best regards
