Subject: [PATCH v7 3/3] remoteproc: imx_rproc: detect and attach to pre-booted remote cores
Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2025 14:25:12 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250629172512.14857-4-hiagofranco@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250629172512.14857-1-hiagofranco@gmail.com>
From: Hiago De Franco <hiago.franco@toradex.com>
When the Cortex-M remote core is started and already running before
Linux boots (typically by the Cortex-A bootloader using a command like
bootaux), the current driver is unable to attach to it. This is because
the driver only checks for remote cores running in different SCFW
partitions. However in this case, the M-core is in the same partition as
Linux and is already powered up and running by the bootloader.
This patch adds a check using dev_pm_genpd_is_on() to verify whether the
M-core's power domains are already on. If all power domain devices are
on, the driver assumes the M-core is running and proceed to attach to
it.
To accomplish this, we need to avoid passing any attach_data or flags to
dev_pm_domain_attach_list(), allowing the platform device become a
consumer of the power domain provider without changing its current
state.
During probe, also enable and sync the device runtime PM to make sure
the power domains are correctly managed when the core is controlled by
the kernel.

v6 -> v7:
- Added Peng reviewed-by.
v5 -> v6:
- Commit description improved, as suggested. Added Ulf Hansson reviewed
by. Comment on imx-rproc.c improved.
v4 -> v5:
- pm_runtime_get_sync() removed in favor of
pm_runtime_resume_and_get(). Now it also checks the return value of
this function.
- Added pm_runtime_disable() and pm_runtime_put() to imx_rproc_remove()
function.
v3 -> v4:
- Changed to use the new dev_pm_genpd_is_on() function instead, as
suggested by Ulf. This will now get the power status of the two
remote cores power domains to decided if imx_rpoc needs to attach or
not. In order to do that, pm_runtime_enable() and
pm_runtime_get_sync() were introduced and pd_data was removed.
v2 -> v3:
- Unchanged.
v1 -> v2:
- Dropped unecessary include. Removed the imx_rproc_is_on function, as
suggested.
