Even though the remoteproc device has no PM callbacks, this allows the
parent device's PM callbacks to be properly called.

I see this patch staged now for 5.8, and the latest -next branch has broken the pm-runtime autosuspend feature we have in the OMAP remoteproc driver. See commit 5f31b232c674 ("remoteproc/omap: Add support for runtime auto-suspend/resume").

What was the original purpose of this patch, because there can be differing backends across different SoCs.

Did you try pm_suspend_ignore_children()? It looks like it was made for your use-case.

Sorry for the delay in getting back. So, using pm_suspend_ignore_children() does fix my current issue.

But I still fail to see the original purpose of this patch in the remoteproc core especially given that the core itself does not have any callbacks. If the sole intention was to call the parent pdev's callbacks, then I feel that state-machine is better managed within that particular platform driver itself, as the sequencing/device management can vary with different platform drivers.

The problem is that with Ingenic SoCs some clocks must be enabled in order to load the firmware, and the core doesn't give you an option to register a callback to be called before loading it. The first version of my patchset added .prepare/.unprepare callbacks to the struct rproc_ops, but the feedback from the maintainers was that I should do it via runtime PM. However, it was not possible to keep it contained in the driver, since again the core doesn't provide a "prepare" callback, so no place to call pm_runtime_get_sync(). So we settled with having runtime PM in the core without callbacks, which will trigger the runtime PM callbacks of the driver at the right moment.

Sorry if that caused you trouble.

Cheers,
-Paul

Notes:
v2-v4: No change
v5: Move calls to prepare/unprepare to rproc_fw_boot/rproc_shutdown
v6: Instead of prepare/unprepare callbacks, use PM runtime callbacks
v7: Check return value of pm_runtime_get_sync()
