Hi,
I am using a ARM based custom SOC which has a power management unit to turn off/on the various power domains. When I execute a suspend command(echo mem > /sys/power/state), then I turn off the power of the entire SOC except my PMU( as they are in different power domains).
When ever the PMU receives a certain wake-up interrupt, it powers up the CPU and SOC and the CPU resumes the kernel as per the Linux power management framework.
Now I have a PCI controller which has been configured in "linux/arch/arm/<mach-mysoc>/pcie.c". During suspend as the PCI power(which is part of the SOC power domain) gets turned off, so the controller loses its register configurations. On resume, the pci driver's resume functions get called and the system hangs up(when it tries to read/write to pci configuration space).
As per my understanding, the pci driver has implementation of bus/ device power management. It does not reconfigure the pci controller. So how should I make the pci controller work fine on system resume. Is it so that I need to reconfigure the pcie controller's registers (as it has been done in "linux/arch/arm/<mach-mysoc>/pcie.c") from the resume function of pci driver. Or would that compromise the entire linux pm framework.
