It makes little sense to use generic power domains without runtime PM.
Also, since the complexities of handling the !PM_RUNTIME case are
causing more trouble and confusion than they're worth, let's simplify
the world by making genpd always enable runtime PM.

I do agree that your above statement seems reasonable, even if can't
really tell if that would break some SOCs use-cases.

My concern is though, that I fear we will be taking short-cuts in
genpd that might bite us later on, but I might be wrong.

The reason for my concern is that on every other place, like in the
subsystem level, driver core, PM core and of course in drivers -  we
need to cope with all the combinations of CONFIG_PM_SLEEP and
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP.  So theoretically, why shouldn't genpd be able to do
that as well?

Shouldn't we actually depend on PM_RUNTIME instead?

Does it?
It still powers down the PM domains on system suspend (at least on my
boards ;-)

Good question, and one we need to figure out.  (I meant to mark this
patch as RFC for that reason.)

I think the primary question is: why would one want to use genpd without
runtime PM?

I understand why one might want to use/test drivers with various
combinations of PM_SLEEP and PM_RUNTIME, but I'm not seeing why we
should need to support genpd without PM_RUNTIME enabled.

In fact, on all the SoCs I've worked closely with, power domains,
suspend/resume and runtime PM are all so closely intertwined that I
can't imagine a useful scenario where they they are not all used
together.  If you care about PM, you turn them all on.  If you don't,
you turn them all off and ensure everything is enabled at boot.

IMO, we're spending a lot of cycles supporting these various
combinations and permutations and as a result are not really able to
solve the real problems people are raising.

Seems like most of the time a new feature/fixup/cleanup is proposed, the
discussion always ends up around how to support things when this or that
option is disabled, or some combination of kconfig options that weren't
considered.

I think we should simplify the config space permuations so we can focus
on improving the frameworks.

Sure, but your devices are also using runtime PM, so I'm not sure how
does that change my statement above?

Yes, I'm curious also.  This patch was supposed to be marked RFC.

Moreover, recently we've spend quite some time on discussing pretty much
how to do runtime PM for CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME unset and really the conclusion
to me is "Don't do that".

There evidently are systems that require runtime PM (in some form) for basic
functionality and it looks like all systems using genpd will fall into that
category, more or less.  Now, the runtime PM framework is what we have for
handling this kind of stuff and I don't see a reason to pretend that it may
be unnecessary.

Questions here are (1) how many users will actually want to disable PM_RUNTIME
for systems using genpd (my sort of educated guess is "none") and (2) whether
or not we need to power up stuff dynamically during initialization on systems
using genpd (and several recent discussions indicate that the answer here is
"yes, we need to do that").

I'm totally for making this change and I'm going to queue up this patch for
3.19, so if anyone sees a really good reason for not doing this, please let
me know what that reason is as soon as you can.

I do mean with CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME turned off.

If PM domain support is disabled, s2ram will not power down the PM domains.

Well. Developers sometimes want to disable power management so that
they don't have to debug it just now... disabling PM_RUNTIME is a way
to do that.

OTOH making code more complex to make new board bring-up easier may
not be good idea..

But if PM_RUNTIME is enabled along with it, I don't think it will make much
of a different, will it?

Building the kernel with genpd and without PM_RUNTIME is possible today,
but is it really useful?  To me, it only seems to make people try to
reinvent the wheel "because PM_RUNTIME may be unset".

I have to say I'm seriously considering to make PM_SLEEP select
PM_RUNTIME too as that would make quite a few things a *lot* simpler.

I agree that it would simplify things, a reduce testing efforts.

Yes.  

If that were the case, we woudn't need the pm_runtime_force_* calls
either.

3.18-rc5 still has:

config PM_RUNTIME
        bool "Run-time PM core functionality"
        depends on !IA64_HP_SIM
        ---help---

So I assume this patch is against tree where PM_RUNTIME does not
depend on anything?

Looking through the config file, there are more config options that
should be stripped.

config SUSPEND_FREEZER
        bool "Enable freezer for suspend to RAM/standby" \
"Turning OFF this setting is NOT recommended! If in doubt, say Y."

config HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS
       bool

...can we just use CONFIG_HIBERNATE, instead?

Yeah, I'll gladly apply a patch removing this one. :-)

We do, but in addition.

HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS is used by Xen IIRC and they don't want to build in the
whole hibernation image creation etc code (which they never use anyway).
