Thanks. It looks like really easy and straightforward conversion.
However, I couldn't find the patch you were referring to from any trees
I could find. So, I take that this API does not really have omap2
support in it yet? I tried git grepping through the source and to me it
appears there is nothing in place yet that actually restricts the MPU
sleep states on omap2 when requested.

Which puzzles me.. The patch you are referring to transfers the omap I2C
from the old omap PM API to the new QOS API is not applied yet in
mainline. The I2C is definitely working with the old API too, I'm just
wondering why I can't make it working with either of the APIs.. Am I
missing something here?

 Therefore, it makes sense to actually remove this call entirely from
 the ir-rx51 driver as it is both wrong and does nothing useful at the
 moment.

AFAIK the old API is a noop in mainline. Using the PM QoS API

Thanks for the pointer. I took a look at the state table and adjusted
the latency requirements in my code. If I lower the latency from 50us to
10us, the timers are then waking up as they should be.

I'll replace this patch with one where I convert it using the new API.

Thanks!

[PATCH 7/8] ir-rx51: Remove MPU wakeup latency adjustments

2012-08-22 Thread Timo Kokkonen
The ir-rx51 driver calls omap_pm_set_max_mpu_wakeup_lat() in order to
avoid problems that occur when MPU goes to sleep in the middle of
sending an IR code. Without such calls it takes ridiculously long for
the MPU to wake up from a sleep, which distorts the IR signal
completely.

However, the actual problem is that probably the GP timers are not
able to wake up the MPU at all. That is, adjusting the latency
requirements is not the correct way to solve the issue either. The
reason why this used to work with the original 2.6.28 based N900
kernel that is shipped with the product is that placing strict latency
requirements prevents the MPU from going to sleep at all. Furthermore,
the only PM layer imlementation available at the moment for OMAP3
doesn't do anything with the latency requirement placed with
omap_pm_set_max_mpu_wakeup_lat() calls.

A more appropriate fix for the problem would be to modify the idle
layer so that it does not allow MPU going to too deep sleep modes when
it is expected that the timers need to wake up MPU.

Therefore, it makes sense to actually remove this call entirely from
the ir-rx51 driver as it is both wrong and does nothing useful at the
