Subject: Enable PNPACPI _PSx Support, v3


(This is an update to the patch presented earlier in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/8/284, with new error handling.)

This patch sets the power of PnP ACPI devices to D0 when they
are activated and to D3 when they are disabled. The latter is
in correspondence with the ACPI 3.0 specification, whereas the
former is added in order to be able to power up a device after
it has been previously disabled (or when booting up a system).
(As a consequence, the patch makes the PnP ACPI code more ACPI
compliant.)

Section 6.2.2 of the ACPI Specification (at least versions 1.0b
and 3.0a) states: "Prior to running this control method [_DIS],
the OS[PM] will have already put the device in the D3 state."
Unfortunately, there is no clear statement as to when to put
a device in the D0 state. :-( Therefore, the patch executes the
method calls as _PS3/_DIS and _SRS/_PS0. What is clear: "If the
device is disabled, _SRS enables the device at the specified
resources." (From the ACPI 3.0a Specification.)

The patch fixes a problem with some IBM ThinkPads (at least the
600E and the 600X) where the serial ports have a dedicated
power source that needs to be brought up before the serial port
can be used. Without this patch, the serial port is enabled
but has no power. (In the past, the tpctl utility had to be
utilized to turn on the power, but support for this feature
stopped with version 5.9 as it did not support the more recent
kernel versions.)

The error handlers that handle any errors that can occur during
the power up/power down phases return the error codes to the
caller directly. Comments welcome! :-)

No regressions were observed on hardware that does not require
this patch.

The patch is applied against 2.6.27.x.

Very good patch.
Do you have the hardware on which the dedicated power source is
required by the serial port(PnP device) in your hand?

When the Pnp ACPI device is started, it should be changed to D0 state if
there exists the _PSX object or the power resource is required.
When it is disabled, it should be changed to D3 state.

How about changing the power state before calling _SRS object?

Thanks for fixing the PNPACPI side of things :-)

Yes, I have an IBM ThinkPad 600E. I need this patch in order to
be able receive accurate time using a DCF77 receiver attached
to the serial port.

I recall reading something in the ACPI spec that says that the power
needs to be set after the device was enabled. But the main driver
for this order (_SRS followed by _PS0) is the symmetry to the required
_PS3 followed by _DIS (according to the spec).
