Any driver for device which is using PMC clock should take it into

I agree that each driver should properly request the clocks and other
resources needed.

Can you elaborate a bit more the case you are talking about?

I think the board with igb ethernet controllers might
just as well be handled the same way (I already checked it has usable
DMI identifying info).

But am I right that in the case of igb we will loose power at suspend? Wouldn't
be better to patch the driver?

This is an industrial embedded PC, so it is not running on battery and
I doubt it typically spends a lot of time in suspend at all.

Okay, but still from logical point of view wouldn't be better to fix the driver
for such case? At least I see benefits out of this approach: a) less hackish,
less quirk code; b) if this happens on non-industrial case it would be better
to have in the driver due to power consumption.

Maybe, I guess we first need to figure out which platforms clock(s) is (are)
being used, if there is more then one; or it is a different one then in the
realtek ethernet case it might be better to go with the dmi quirk option.

Semyon Verchenko can you (as root) run the following command on a kernel
where the ethernet does work:

grep . /sys/kernel/debug/clk/pmc_plt_clk_?/flags

And then email us the output please?

I don't have flags files in /sys/kernel/debug/clk/pmc_plt_clk_?; did you mean 
clk_flags?

[root@archatom ~]# grep . /sys/kernel/debug/clk/pmc_plt_clk_?/flags
grep: /sys/kernel/debug/clk/pmc_plt_clk_?/flags: No such file or directory
[root@archatom ~]# grep . /sys/kernel/debug/clk/pmc_plt_clk_?/clk_flags
/sys/kernel/debug/clk/pmc_plt_clk_0/clk_flags:CLK_IS_CRITICAL
/sys/kernel/debug/clk/pmc_plt_clk_1/clk_flags:CLK_IS_CRITICAL
/sys/kernel/debug/clk/pmc_plt_clk_2/clk_flags:CLK_IS_CRITICAL
/sys/kernel/debug/clk/pmc_plt_clk_3/clk_flags:CLK_IS_CRITICAL
[root@archatom ~]# ls /sys/kernel/debug/clk

Hmm, so 4 ethernet cards and 4 enabled / marked as critical clocks.

Supporting this through get_clk is going to require a DMI table in the igb 
driver
combined with checking which PCI "slot" the card is to get the correct clock
for each ethernet controller.

I believe tht just restoring the old behavior to mark all clocks enabled
on boot as critical, but then limited to this system based on a dmi match,
is the best solution here.

Andy?

Hans
