Commit 4ca46ff3e0d8c234cb40ebb6457653b59584426c (PM / Sleep: Mark
devices involved in wakeup signaling during suspend) introduced
the power.wakeup_path field in struct dev_pm_info to mark devices
whose children are enabled to wake up the system from sleep states,
so that power domains containing the parents that provide their
children with wakeup power and/or relay their wakeup signals are not
turned off. Unfortunately, that introduced a PM regression on SH7372
whose power consumption in the system "memory sleep" state increased
as a result of it, because it prevented the power domain containing
the I2C controller from being turned off when some children of that
controller were enabled to wake up the system, although the
controller was not necessary for them to signal wakeup.To fix this issue use the observation that devices whose
power.ignore_children flag is set for runtime PM should be treated
analogously during system suspend. Namely, they shouldn't be
included in wakeup paths going through their children. Since the
SH7372 I2C controller's power.ignore_children flag is set, doing so
will restore the previous behavior of that SOC.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

The pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along
with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in
terms of being included from other commonly used
files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times.The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere.
This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was
masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time.There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the
struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead
and simply make it a few more.Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by
these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can
finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

The original implementations reference THIS_MODULE in an inline.
We could include , but it is better to avoid chaining.Fortunately someone else already thought of this, and made a similar
inline into a #define in for device_schedule_callback(),
[see commit 523ded71de0] so follow that precedent here.Also bubble up any __must_check that were used on the prev. wrapper inline
functions up one to the real __register functions, to preserve any prev.
sanity checks that were used in those instances.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

The naming convention used by commit 7538e3db6e015e890825fbd9f86599b
(PM: Add support for device power domains), which introduced the
struct dev_power_domain type for representing device power domains,
evidently confuses some developers who tend to think that objects
of this type must correspond to "power domains" as defined by
hardware, which is not the case. Namely, at the kernel level, a
struct dev_power_domain object can represent arbitrary set of devices
that are mutually dependent power management-wise and need not belong
to one hardware power domain. To avoid that confusion, rename struct
dev_power_domain to struct dev_pm_domain and rename the related
pointers in struct device and struct pm_clk_notifier_block from
pwr_domain to pm_domain.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

The platform bus type is often used to handle Systems-on-a-Chip (SoC)
where all devices are represented by objects of type struct
platform_device. In those cases the same "platform" device driver
may be used with multiple different system configurations, but the
actions needed to put the devices it handles into a low-power state
and back into the full-power state may depend on the design of the
given SoC. The driver, however, cannot possibly include all the
information necessary for the power management of its device on all
the systems it is used with. Moreover, the device hierarchy in its
current form also is not suitable for representing this kind of
information.The patch below attempts to address this problem by introducing
objects of type struct dev_power_domain that can be used for
representing power domains within a SoC. Every struct
dev_power_domain object provides a sets of device power
management callbacks that can be used to perform what's needed for
device power management in addition to the operations carried out by
the device's driver and subsystem.Namely, if a struct dev_power_domain object is pointed to by the
pwr_domain field in a struct device, the callbacks provided by its
ops member will be executed in addition to the corresponding
callbacks provided by the device's subsystem and driver during all
power transitions.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are
making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another
directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them.This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option
that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way
the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option
on the command line.The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set
the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing
config files.Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes
care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code
look nicer.v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only
handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems
and that seems to work.Cc: axboe@kernel.dk

Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER as a bus notifier event.
For driver binding/unbinding we with this in
place have the following bus notifier events:
- BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER - before ->probe()
- BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER - after ->probe()
- BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER - before ->remove()
- BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER - after ->remove()The event BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER allows bus code
to be notified that ->probe() is about to be called.Useful for bus code that needs to setup hardware before
the driver gets to run. With this in place platform
drivers can be loaded and unloaded as modules and the
new BIND event allows bus code to control for instance
device clocks that must be enabled before the driver
can be executed.Without this patch there is no way for the bus code to
