Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] Add PM support to STM32 LP Timer drivers

This patch series adds power management support for STM32 LP Timer:
- PWM driver
- Document the pinctrl states for sleep mode

It also adds device link between the PWM consumer and the PWM provider.
This allows proper sequencing for suspend/resume (e.g. user will likely
do a pwm_disable() before the PWM provider suspend executes), see [1].

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/5/770

---
Changes in v4:
- improve error handling when adding the PWM consumer device link.

Changes in v3:
- Move the device_link_add() call to of_pwm_get() as discussed with Uwe.

Changes in v2:
- Don't disable PWM channel in PWM provider: rather refuse to suspend
and report an error as suggested by Uwe and Thierry.
- Add patch 3/3 to propose device link addition.
- No updates for STM32 LP Timer IIO driver. Patches can be send separately.

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] pwm: stm32-lp: Add power management support

Add suspend/resume PM sleep ops. When going to low power, enforce the PWM
channel isn't active. Let the PWM consumers disable it during their own
suspend sequence. Only perform a check here, and handle the pinctrl states.
See [1].
[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/5/770

Signed-off-by: Fabrice Gasnier <[email protected]>

Changes in v2:
- Don't disable PWM channel: let the PWM user disable it. Refuse to
suspend in case it's been left enabled.
- Drop the ifdefs, use __maybe_unused instead.

Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] pwm: core: add consumer device link

Add a device link between the PWM consumer and the PWM provider. This
enforces the PWM user to get suspended before the PWM provider. It
allows proper synchronization of suspend/resume sequences: the PWM user
is responsible for properly stopping PWM, before the provider gets
suspended: see [1]. Add the device link in:
- of_pwm_get()
- pwm_get()
- devm_*pwm_get() variants
as it requires a reference to the device for the PWM consumer.

- turn/split pr_debug() into dev_err()/pr_warn().

- add struct device to of_get_pwm() arguments to handle device link from
there as discussed with Uwe.

Hi Uwe,

I'm wondering a bit about this: In this case, the caller that doesn't
provide a struct device *, PWM provider isn't responsible for that. So I
just hope this wouldn't be miss-leading ?

IMHO it's more the wording that might make the message misleading. If
you use

dev_warn(pwm->chip->dev, "No consumer device specified to create a device link to\n");

that's completely fine in my eyes.
