In a perfect world skipping the update should be fine in these cases, but
on Cherry Trail devices the AML code in the GFX0 devices' PS0 and PS3
methods messes with the PWM controller.
The "ACPI / LPSS: Resume Cherry Trail PWM controller in no-irq phase" patch
earlier in this series stops the GFX0._PS0 method from messing with the PWM
controller and on the DSDT-s inspected sofar the _PS3 method only reads
from the PWM controller (and turns it off before we get a change to do so):
{
PWMB = PWMC /* \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0.PWMC */
PSAT |= 0x03
Local0 = PSAT /* \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0.PSAT */
}
The PWM controller getting turning off before we do this ourselves is
a bit annoying but not really an issue.
The problem this patch fixes comes from a new variant of the GFX0._PS3 code
messing with the PWM controller found on the Acer One 10 S1003 (1):
{
PWMB = PWMC /* \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0.PWMC */
PWMT = PWMC /* \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0.PWMC */
PWMT &= 0xFF0000FF
PWMT |= 0xC0000000
PWMC = PWMT /* \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0.PWMT */
PWMT = PWMC /* \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0.PWMC */
Sleep (0x64)
PWMB &= 0x3FFFFFFF
PWMC = PWMB /* \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0.PWMB */
PSAT |= 0x03
Local0 = PSAT /* \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0.PSAT */
}
This "beautiful" piece of code clears the base-unit part of the ctrl-reg,
which effectively disables the controller, and it sets the update flag
to apply this change. Then after this it restores the original ctrl-reg
value, so we do not see it has mucked with the controller.
*But* it does not set the update flag when restoring the original value.
So the check to see if we can skip writing the ctrl register succeeds
but since the update flag was not set, the old base-unit value of 0 is
still in use and the PWM controller is effectively disabled.
IOW this PWM controller poking means that we cannot trust the base-unit /
on-time-div value we read back from the PWM controller since it may not
have been applied/committed. Thus we must always update the ctrl-register
and set the update bit.
Doesn't this now make patch 6/17 obsolete?
No, there is no guarantee we will get any changes soon after resume,
so we must restore the state properly on resume, before 5.17
we were just blindly restoring the old ctrl reg state, but
if either the freq-div or the duty-cycle changes, we should
also set the update bit in that case to apply the new freq-div/
duty-cycle.
This actually also helps with that case since patch 6/17 uses
pwm_lpss_prepare and this makes pwm_lpss_prepare set the
update but unconditionally.
Also on resume we most do the set the enable bit vs set
the update bit in the right order, depending on the
generation of the SoC in which the PWM controller is
embedded. 6/17 fixes all this by resume, by treating
resume as a special case of apply() taking all the
steps apply does.

Hans
