We'll need to evaluate that (I'm not sure > if runtime PM is available on all platforms targeted by V4L2 for instance). That sounds like a really good direction. It would let us have clear standardized rules for power handling in V4L2. And with new chips of more complicated topologies the power handling details could be taken care of by the Runtime PM subsystem. As the runtime PM becomes more granular it appears a good alternative for simple subdev s_power call. Unfortunately still only a few architectures support runtime PM at device bus level in the mainline. What I identified is: arm/mach-exynos4 arm/mach-omap1 arm/mach-omap2 arm/mach-shmobile So very few, no x86 here. As we have I2C, SPI and platform device v4l subdevs ideally those buses should support Runtime PM. >> I just wanted to put all what is needed to control device's power in the PM >> helpers and then use pm_runtime_* calls where required. -- Regards, Sylwester Nawrocki -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
