Subject: Re: Regression found (Stop-marking-clocks-as-CLK_IS_CRITICAL)

Hi Dean,

Attached are 2 different attempts at fixing this.

When trying these patches do not forget to remove the revert of the
"Stop-marking-clocks-as-CLK_IS_CRITICAL" commit.

Please first try the 0001-ASoC-intel-cht_bsw_max98090_ti-Use-pmc_plt_clk_0-ins.patch
patch I expect that one to do the trick indicating that the Swanky model
uses a different pmc clk then which is normally used for the codec clock.

If that patch does not fix things, please give the other patch a try.

Regards,

Hans

I believe that the statement "It's indeed the expectation that the
audio mclk is handled by the firmware" is not correct for BYT/CHT
platforms (and the commit causing the regression only affects BYT/CHT
platforms). Various machine drivers under sound/soc/intel/boards have
code to deal with the mclk themselves, like this:

         drv->mclk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "pmc_plt_clk_3");
...

         if (SND_SOC_DAPM_EVENT_ON(event)) {
                 ret = clk_prepare_enable(ctx->mclk);
		...
         } else {
                 clk_disable_unprepare(ctx->mclk);
         }

The above code is from sound/soc/intel/boards/cht_bsw_max98090_ti.c
which is the machine driver used on the machines for which problems
are now being reported.

And my commit introducing the problem is in essence a revert of:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit?id=d31fd43c0f9a41e2678a1e78c0f22f0384c6edd3

Which is from 2017-07-14 and the ASoC code for BYT/CHT platforms is
much older then that.

Also I asked Carlo why he wrote that patch and it was to fix a problem
with ethernet on some laptops.

> not sure I understand why removing the CLK_IS_CRITICAL was necessary or what it has to do with S0ix.

It is necessary, because if it is set the clock never gets disabled and
on x86 platforms using suspend2idle we are responsible for *all* the hardware
power-management as OS. If we do not disable the clocks then we can only
reach S0i1 instead of S0i3 when suspended leading to increased battery
drain during suspend.

Also note that this patch is only causing problems on CHT + max98090 codec
using machines. I've tested it on many other BYT/CHT machines myself and
we've not had any other bug reports related to this.

So this clearly points to a problem with the clock management in the
cht_bsw_max98090_ti.c machine driver.

I've some ideas how to fix this and I will prepare some patches to test.

Regards,

Hans
