Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 2/5] gnss: sirf: power on logic for devices without
wakeup signal
Please change the commit summary to something more descriptive like
gnss: sirf: add support for configurations without wakeup signal

Is this really needed? If so, it should probably go in a separate patch.

I don't think this is an accurate description, but more on that below.

You only need to add one new define for the no-wakeup case and it should
reflect the report cycle (e.g. name it SIRF_NOWAKEUP_REPORT_CYCLE).
Specifically, it is the time we must wait in order to infer that a
device has failed to be activated, or succeeded to hibernate.
In pseudo code we have:
activate:
- toggle on-off
- wait(data-received, ACTIVATE_TIMEOUT + REPORT_CYCLE)
- reception: success
- timeout: failure
hibernate:
- toggle on-off
- sleep(HIBERNATE_TIMEOUT)
- wait(data-received, REPORT_CYCLE)
- reception: failure
- timeout: success
A problem with your implementation, is that you assume a report cycle
of one second, but this need to be the case. Judging from a quick look
at the sirf protocols (sirf nmea and sirf binary) report cycles can be
configured to be as long as 30s (sirf binary) or even 255s (sirf nmea).
[ To make things worse these numbers can be even higher in some
low-power modes it seems. ]
Adding just a one-second timeout (the minimum supported cycle length)
seems way too low, even if whatever value we choose will be reflected
directly in the time it takes to hibernate (suspend) the device.
And since this is configurable at runtime, the only safe value would be
the maximum one...
Perhaps we can say that no-wakeup support depends on having reasonably
short report cycles, but this needs to be documented.

Too verbose to have here. And see if you can reuse the mutex protecting
open (opened).

Rename to the more descriptive sirf_serdev_open().

Move increment inside conditional.

Similar comments as for open above.

You're leaving opened set when returning here.

Add the report cycle length to the timeout in
sirf_wait_for_power_state() also for the activation case.

And move this outside of the retry loop. No need to reopen for every
retry, right?

As mentioned above, this seems unrelated to the rest of the patch, so
break it out.
I'm not sure why it is even needed though. And you should probably just
call sirf_set_active(false) directly, if anything.
