Rafael,

What's your idea about this patch?

We hit the issue when enabling Android on a latest tablet. After
suspend-to-ram wakeup, serial console doesn't work.
This serial port is bound by pnpcore driver.
At suspending,
static int __pnp_bus_suspend(struct device *dev, pm_message_t state)
{
...

if (pnp_can_disable(pnp_dev)) {
error = pnp_stop_dev(pnp_dev);
if (error)
return error;
}

if (pnp_dev->protocol->suspend)
pnp_dev->protocol->suspend(pnp_dev, state);
return 0;
}

pnp_stop_dev calls dev->protocol->disable.
As for ACPI device, that disable callback calls _DIS. Based
on ACPI spec, driver need turn off the device before disabling it
by _DIS. That means, after pnp_stop_dev returns, the device is at OFF
state.

Then, __pnp_bus_suspend calls pnp_dev->protocol->suspend, which
continues to access the device while the device is at OFF.

Our firmware just provides _DIS for the device. There is no _STS
method. Then, after wakeup, the device doesn't work.

But just like what the patch points out, pnp_dev->protocol->suspend
continues to access the device while the device is at OFF. It's not safe.

The patch looks like a workaround. Another possible fix is to just
delete the calling of pnp_stop_dev in function __pnp_bus_suspend, as
suspend is not equal to _disable_.
The deletion might be a little intrusive. That's why we sent a workaround
patch to LKML.

Which one is better?

Thanks,
Yanmin

I haven't had the time to look deeper into that, sorry. I'll let you know
when I do that.

Thanks!
