Also you lost When you go to idle you certain tasks before going to sleep. If the granularity matches, relinquishing locality is one of those tasks. > degree of freedom even now you may want perform each of these > operation for each tpm request, that might not be true in general, we > would like to witch to runtime auto suspend it won't work anymore, for > example.

You can start with something simple like once per transmission or once per idle/ready. If that does not scale, then it must be adjusted. I think this is really business as usual... > Thanks > Tomas /Jarkko
