The current HW_CTRL flag switches the video GDSC to HW control mode as
part of GDSC enable itself, instead of that use HW_CTRL_TRIGGER flag to
give consumer drivers more control and switch the GDSC mode as and when
required.
HW_CTRL_TRIGGER flag allows consumer drivers to switch the video GDSC to
HW/SW control modes at runtime using dev_pm_genpd_set_hwmode API.
This states what the code currently does, and what the new code will do.
But I don't find that it adequately describes _why_ this is done.
In the current implementation, the hardware is might collapse the GDSC
anytime between gdsc_enable() and gdsc_disable(). By giving "drivers
more control" the time spent in this state is reduced to some fraction
of that span, which to me implies higher power consumption.
Under the assumption that we don't want to consume more power without
reason, I'm forced to guess that there might be some scenarios that we
want this feature to keep the GDSC non-collapsed against the indication
of the hardware - to avoid some instability somewhere, perhaps?
Thanks Bjorn for your review. Sure, will update commit text with details
in next series.
Normally, consumers will enable the GDSC and then the required clocks.
If GDSC is moved to HW mode in gdsc_enable() itself, the subsequent
clocks enablement that are dependent on GDSC might fail since GDSC could
be turned off by HW. The consumers can still switch the GDSC to HW mode
with new API right after the clocks are enabled and the control will be
taken back to SW mode just before disabling the GDSC, so even with the
newer implementation, HW can collapse the GDSC anytime for most of the
duration between gdsc_enable() and gdsc_disable(). This API adds more
flexibility for consumer drivers to control the GDSC mode as per their
requirements.
Thanks,
Jagadeesh

Bjorn
