From: Hiago De Franco <hiago.fra...@toradex.com> When the Cortex-M remote core is started and already running before Linux boots (typically by the Cortex-A bootloader using a command like bootaux), the current driver is unable to attach to it. This is because the driver only checks for remote cores running in different SCU partitions. However in this case, the M-core is in the same partition as Linux and is already powered up and running by the bootloader.
This patch adds a check using dev_pm_genpd_is_on() to verify whether the M-core's power domains are already on. If all power domain devices are on, the driver assumes the M-core is running and proceed to attach to it. To accomplish this, we need to avoid passing any attach_data or flags to dev_pm_domain_attach_list(), allowing the platform device become a consumer of the power domain provider without changing its current state. During probe, also enable and sync the device runtime PM to make sure the power domains are correctly managed when the core is controlled by the kernel.

I made a small correction into the commit description, s/SCFW partitions/SCU partitions/g and updated with the check for the return value. I hope this is ok. Thanks! Hiago. v7 -> v8: - Added return error check for dev_pm_domain_attach_list(). - Commit description: changed to use "SCU partitions" instead of "SCFW partitions". This is more accurate since these are hardware enforced partitions. v6 -> v7: - Added Peng reviewed-by. v5 -> v6: - Commit description improved, as suggested. Added Ulf Hansson reviewed by. Comment on imx-rproc.c improved. v4 -> v5: - pm_runtime_get_sync() removed in favor of pm_runtime_resume_and_get(). Now it also checks the return value of this function. - Added pm_runtime_disable() and pm_runtime_put() to imx_rproc_remove() function. v3 -> v4: - Changed to use the new dev_pm_genpd_is_on() function instead, as suggested by Ulf. This will now get the power status of the two remote cores power domains to decided if imx_rpoc needs to attach or not. In order to do that, pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_get_sync() were introduced and pd_data was removed. v2 -> v3: - Unchanged. v1 -> v2: - Dropped unecessary include. Removed the imx_rproc_is_on function, as suggested. --- --- drivers/remoteproc/imx_rproc.c | 41 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/remoteproc/imx_rproc.c b/drivers/remoteproc/imx_rproc.c index 627e57a88db2..a6eef0080ca9 100644 --- a/drivers/remoteproc/imx_rproc.c +++ b/drivers/remoteproc/imx_rproc.c @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ #include <linux/of_reserved_mem.h> #include <linux/platform_device.h> #include <linux/pm_domain.h> +#include <linux/pm_runtime.h> #include <linux/reboot.h> #include <linux/regmap.h> #include <linux/remoteproc.h> @@ -890,10 +891,8 @@ static int imx_rproc_partition_notify(struct notifier_block *nb, static int imx_rproc_attach_pd(struct imx_rproc *priv) { struct device *dev = priv->dev; - int ret; - struct dev_pm_domain_attach_data pd_data = { - .pd_flags = PD_FLAG_DEV_LINK_ON, - }; + int ret, i; + bool detached = true; /* * If there is only one power-domain entry, the platform driver framework @@ -902,8 +901,25 @@ static int imx_rproc_attach_pd(struct imx_rproc *priv) if (dev->pm_domain) return 0; - ret = dev_pm_domain_attach_list(dev, &pd_data, &priv->pd_list); - return ret < 0 ? ret : 0; + ret = dev_pm_domain_attach_list(dev, NULL, &priv->pd_list); + if (ret < 0) + return ret; + /* + * If all the power domain devices are already turned on, the remote + * core is already powered up and running when the kernel booted (e.g., + * started by U-Boot's bootaux command).
