More handling can be added for some cases. With this patch the poweron bits will clear to defaults if power is completely removed. So start-up with VBUS and CHG works in that case. However, if you have a battery connected, and you poweroff, with this patch the device won't power up with VBUS or CHG connected. Note that most battery operated devices are not using the charger on twl4030 because it has issues charging a completely empty battery AFAIK. So most battery powered devices have been using an external USB charger chip that's not affected by this patch. We could consider exporting a function for the charger driver to configure the poweron mask. And we could also consider passing a mask in ti,use_poweroff = 0xff. > It seems to me that forcing these bits on power off can break that kind of > devices and these settings should really be board specific. > What do you think? There's a patch series for "[RFC,01/16] kernel: Add support for poweroff handler call chain" that should help with that. For sure the poweroff handling needs to be board specific as some systems may need to use a GPIO to shut off a regulator powering something before powering off the SoC.
