PM: Move disabling/enabling runtime PM to late suspend/early resume

2013-01-05T23:35:55+00:00

Currently, the PM core disables runtime PM for all devices right
after executing subsystem/driver .suspend() callbacks for them
and re-enables it right before executing subsystem/driver .resume()
callbacks for them.  This may lead to problems when there are
two devices such that the .suspend() callback executed for one of
them depends on runtime PM working for the other.  In that case,
if runtime PM has already been disabled for the second device,
the first one's .suspend() won't work correctly (and analogously
for resume).

To make those issues go away, make the PM core disable runtime PM
for devices right before executing subsystem/driver .suspend_late()
callbacks for them and enable runtime PM for them right after
executing subsystem/driver .resume_early() callbacks for them.  This
way the potential conflitcs between .suspend_late()/.resume_early()
and their runtime PM counterparts are still prevented from happening,
but the subtle ordering issues related to disabling/enabling runtime
PM for devices during system suspend/resume are much easier to avoid.

power_supply: Add support for CHARGE_CONTROL_* attributes

2012-11-18T04:21:43+00:00

Add support for power supply attributes CHARGE_CONTROL_LIMIT
and CHARGE_CONTROL_LIMIT_MAX.

These new attributes will enable the user space to implement
custom charging algorithms based on platform state.

PM / QoS: Introduce PM QoS device flags support

2012-10-22T23:09:12+00:00

Modify the device PM QoS core code to support PM QoS flags requests.

First, add a new field of type struct pm_qos_flags called "flags"
to struct dev_pm_qos for representing the list of PM QoS flags
requests for the given device.  Accordingly, add a new "type" field
to struct dev_pm_qos_request (along with an enum for representing
request types) and a new member called "flr" to its data union for
representig flags requests.

Second, modify dev_pm_qos_add_request(), dev_pm_qos_update_request(),
the internal routine apply_constraint() used by them and their
existing callers to cover flags requests as well as latency
requests.  In particular, dev_pm_qos_add_request() gets a new
argument called "type" for specifying the type of a request to be
added.

Finally, introduce two routines, __dev_pm_qos_flags() and
dev_pm_qos_flags(), allowing their callers to check which PM QoS
flags have been requested for the given device (the caller is
supposed to pass the mask of flags to check as the routine's
second argument and examine its return value for the result).

power_supply: Add new power supply properties CHARGE_CURRENT/VOLTAGE_MAX

2012-08-23T04:59:15+00:00

There are different types of chargers avalibale like AC, Solar, USB,
etc..  Even in USB we have different types SDP/DCP/CDP/ACA and all these
chargers have different o/p ratings. For example SDP supports only 500mA
of charge current whereas AC charger can support upto 8A or more.

Similarly batteries also come with charge current and voltage ratings
and these ratings vary depending on its capacity and the technology
used.

This patch adds two new power supply properties
CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT_MAX and CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT_MAX.

Pull battery updates from Anton Vorontsov:
 "The tag contains just a few battery-related changes for v3.6.  It's is
  all pretty straightforward, except one thing.

  One of our patches added thermal support for power supply class, but
  thermal/ subsystem changed under our feet.  We (well, Stephen, that
  is) caught the issue and it was decided[1] that I'd just delay the
  battery pull request, and then will fix it up by merging upstream back
  into battery tree at the specific commit.

  That's not all though: another[2] small fixup for thermal subsystem
  was needed to get rid of a warning in power supply subsystem (the
  warning was not drivers/power's "fault", the thermal registration
  function just needed a proper const annotation, which is also done by
  a small commit on top of the merge.

  So, to sum this up:
   - The 'master' branch of the battery tree was in the -next tree for
     weeks, was never rebased, altered etc.  It should be all OK;
   - Although, for-v3.6 tag contains the 'master' branch + merge + the
     warning fix.
