To be honest I don't see the point of this patch.
You are bloating the PMC interface by introducing another exported
function that does nothing different than what the current function
already does.

If you need a way to assert the clamp I would have expected you to
introduce a common function to do this for all power partitions.

Other comments inline.

Those functions with a bool parameter to set/unset something are really
annoying. Please avoid this pattern. The naming of the original function
is much more intuitive.

You are reading the register back here, which to me seems like you are
trying to make sure that the write is flushed. Why is this needed?
I also observed the need to do this while working on Tegra124 PCIe in
Barebox, otherwise the partition wouldn't power up. I didn't have time
to follow up on this yet, so it would be nice if you could explain why
this is needed, or if you don't know ask HW about it.

I thought about adding an tegra_powergate_assert_clamping(), but that 
doesn't make sense to all the power partitions except GPU. Note the 
difference in TRM. Any suggestion for the common
function?

But the original function is not sufficient. Maybe add a 
tegra_powergate_assert_gpu_clamping()? That way I will prefer to adding 
one more removal function for GPU. And then again that's a bloat,
too.

That's a read fence to assure the post of the previous writes through 
Tegra interconnect. (copy-paster from

Is there anything speaking against adding this function and only accept
the GPU partition as valid parameter for now. So at least the interface
stays symmetric and can be easily extended if any future partitions have
similar characteristics as the GPU one.

I see what it does, the question is more about why this is needed.
What is the Tegra interconnect? According to the TRM the Tegra contains
some standard AXI <-> AHB <-> APB bridges. That a read is needed to
assure the write is posted to the APB bus seems to imply that there is
some write buffering in one of those bridges. Can we get this documented
somewhere?

And isn't it needed for the other partition ungating function too then?

Lucas

I don't think extending the powergate API is useful at this point. We've
long had an open TODO item to replace this with a generic API. I did
some prototyping a while ago to use generic power domains for this, that
way all the details and dependencies between the partitions could be
properly modeled.

Can you take a look at my staging/powergate branch here:

	https://github.com/thierryreding/linux/commits/staging/powergate

and see if you can use that instead? The idea is to completely hide the
details of power partitions from drivers and use runtime PM instead.

Also adding Peter whom I had discussed this with earlier. Can we finally
get this converted? I'd rather not keep complicating this custom API to
avoid making the conversion even more difficult.
