Subject: [Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH v2 0/2] realtek ethernet : remove legacy power management callbacks.

The purpose of this patch series is to remove legacy power management callbacks
from realtek ethernet drivers.

The callbacks performing suspend() and resume() operations are still calling
pci_save_state(), pci_set_power_state(), etc. and handling the powermanagement
themselves, which is not recommended.

The conversion requires the removal of the those function calls and change the
callback definition accordingly.

Subject: [Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH v2 1/2] realtek/8139too: Remove Legacy Power Management

Upgrade power management from legacy to generic using dev_pm_ops.

Remove "struct pci_driver.suspend" and "struct pci_driver.resume"
bindings, and add "struct pci_driver.driver.pm" .

Add "__maybe_unused" attribute to resume() and susend() callbacks
definition to suppress compiler warnings.

Generic callback requires an argument of type "struct device*". Hence,
convert it to "struct net_device*" using "dev_get_drvdata()" to use
it in the callback.

Uncapitalize "legacy power management" in subject. I'd say "convert",
not "remove", to make it clear that the driver will still do power
management afterwards.

I think your to: and cc: list came from the get_maintainer.pl script,
but you can trim it a bit by omitting people who have just made
occasional random fixups. These drivers are really unmaintained, so
Dave M, netdev, Rafael, linux-pm, linux-pci, and maybe LKML are
probably enough.

Instead of the paragraphs below, which cover the stuff that's fairly
obvious, I think it would be more useful to include hints about where
the things you removed will be done now. That helps reviewers verify
that this doesn't break anything. E.g.,

In the legacy PM model, drivers save and restore PCI state and set
the device power state directly. In the generic model, this is all
done by the PCI core in .suspend_noirq() (pci_pm_suspend_noirq())
and .resume_noirq() (pci_pm_resume_noirq()).

This sort of thing could go in each commit log. The cover letter
doesn't normally go in the commit log, so you have to assume it will
be lost.

This one is a little more interesting because it relies on the driver
state (cp->wol_enabled). IIUC, the corresponding pci_enable_wake() in
the generic path is in pci_prepare_to_sleep() (called from
pci_pm_suspend_noirq()).

But of course the generic path doesn't look at cp->wol_enabled. It
looks at device_may_wakeup(), but I don't know whether there's a
connection between that and cp->wol_enabled.

Did you test any of the changes? If not, then mention this at least.
A typical comment in the commit message would be "compile-tested only".

In addition the following should be changed.
[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH v2 0/2]
Use
[PATCH net-next v2 0/2]
instead.

Yeah its compile-tested only. I should have mention that. Thanks for

I have tested it by just compiling it. I will try to dig a bit more deep into
this and check if it is affecting something (on the basis of code).
The final test has to done with hardware.
