tty: serial: 8250_core: add run time pm
While comparing the OMAP-serial and the 8250 part of this I noticed that
the latter does not use run time-pm. Here are the pieces. It is
basically a get before first register access and a last_busy + put after
last access. This has to be enabled from userland _and_ UART_CAP_RPM is
required for this.
The runtime PM can usually work transparently in the background however
there is one exception to this: After serial8250_tx_chars() completes
there still may be unsent bytes in the FIFO (depending on CPU speed vs
baud rate + flow control). Even if the TTY-buffer is empty we do not
want RPM to disable the device because it won't send the remaining
bytes. Instead we leave serial8250_tx_chars() with RPM enabled and wait
for the FIFO empty interrupt. Once we enter serial8250_tx_chars() with
an empty buffer we know that the FIFO is empty and since we are not going
to send anything, we can disable the device.
That xchg() is to ensure that serial8250_tx_chars() can be called
multiple times and only the first invocation will actually invoke the
runtime PM function. So that the last invocation of __stop_tx() will
disable runtime pm.
NOTE: do not enable RPM on the device unless you know what you do! If
the device goes idle, it won't be woken up by incomming RX data _unless_
there is a wakeup irq configured which is usually the RX pin configure
for wakeup via the reset module. The RX activity will then wake up the
device from idle. However the first character is garbage and lost. The
following bytes will be received once the device is up in time. On the
beagle board xm (omap3) it takes approx 13ms from the first wakeup byte
until the first byte that is received properly if the device was in
core-off.
v5…v8:
- drop RPM from serial8250_set_mctrl() it will be used in
restore path which already has RPM active and holds
dev->power.lock
v4…v5:
- add a wrapper around rpm function and introduce UART_CAP_RPM
to ensure RPM put is invoked after the TX FIFO is empty.
v3…v4:
- added runtime to the console code
- removed device_may_wakeup() from serial8250_set_sleep()
