How is this going to interact with client devices which are already enabling runtime PM for themselves, and what are the advantages of doing this over having the client device enable runtime PM for itself (given that the client still needs an explicit put() adding)?
Given that it's relatively common for devices to have both I2C and SPI control it seems like it'd be sensible to keep the policy common between the two buses to simplify driver implementation. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
