Hello Franklin, This is pretty good stuff. A few questions/comments about your patch: The code has different GPIO configurations for the two analog modes. This is a bit unusual for an em28xx design. Do you know what the difference is in terms of what GPIO7 controls? The digital GPIO block strobes GPO3 to reset the lgdt3303. While I generally believe that it's good to explicitly strobe the reset low, this could cause problems with em28xx devices. This is because the em28xx calls the digital GPIO whenever starting streaming. Hence, you could end up with the chip being reset without the demod driver's init() routine being called, resulting in the chip's register state not being in sync with the driver's state info. In fact, we have this issue with one of the Terratec boards where the zl10353 driver state gets out of sync with the hardware (I still need to submit a patch upstream for that case). Your code at this point should probably only ensure the 3303 is not in reset (by setting the GPIO pin high). It's not surprising that you would uncover an issue with the suspend logic. Despite the fact that the em28xx driver provides a suspend method it is not actually used today in any of the board profiles. The saa7115 stuff looks pretty reasonable at first glance, although I am a bit worried about the possibility that it could cause a regression in other products that use that decoder. Did you actually do any power analysis to confirm that the suspend functionality is working properly? I agree with Mauro though that this should be split into multiple patches. In fact, I would seriously consider three patches instead of two - the first patch adds the basic functionality to get the board working, the second adds the saa7115 code, and the third adds the suspend GPIO changes. This will make it easier for others who have problems to isolate whether any problems are a basic issue with the board not working or whether it is related to the suspend and power management changes.
