The transport > driver calls hid_input_report() when an irq has been processed. The driver was handling the IRQs originally to avoid duplicating a lot of code in each of the transport devices. But, now that the custom GPIO code has been removed the reasoning for handling it in rmi_driver is less compelling. Plus, now we have SMBus and HID transports which don't handle the IRQs directly. It might also be better to enable and disable IRQs in the transport drivers pm callbacks. > - suspend/resume: > with the smbus implementation, we have quite some troubles with the > suspend/resume part.

The interaction between the SMBus and the PS/2 interface does complicate things. I have not noticed any similar issues with PS/2 + HID/I2C. Probably, because PS/2 + HID/I2C was designed to work without any driver interaction. > I wonder if having the pm functions directly in the bus is a good idea > and if we should not let the transport driver handle those.

I guess we could just call rmi_driver_suspend/resume() from the transports and have it loop through all of the function drivers and call their suspend/resume functions. So far it has just made sense to use the pm subsystem instead of doing things manually. But, none of the other transports have dependencies on devices in separate driver stacks. > [just thinking out loud: maybe we encounter problems of ordering due to > the fact that the bus is registered to the pm subsystem.

Well if rmi_smbus can register itself with the pm subsystem, could we just make the transport device the parent of the bus device? Would that ensure that all of the pm callbacks get called together? Sounds like some more investigating is needed for figuring out how best to handle suspend/resume.
