It is powered, but its runtime PM status does not reflect that, and that is the problem. This patch makes sure that the child, and thereby parent, are both runtime resumed throughout system suspend, but perhaps that should be done explicitly in the parent driver as well (more below). > > In a system with two controllers (e.g. a Beagle Bone Black), > > Do you mean a host controller and a peripheral controller? Yes, in this example (the BBB has two OTG controllers), but it could just as well be two controllers in peripheral mode where one is active. > > the host > > port may be active and keep the shared clock enabled (managed by the > > grandparent device).

Perhaps I read your question too literally above; I'm trying to explain how you can end up with a runtime suspended parent during resume, without hitting the external abort during suspend, with the current kernel. This can be done by keeping the sibling/cousin controller enabled, but could of course also have been achieved by preventing the grandparent (omap) device (which controls the clock) from suspending by other means. I'm just describing how this could happen with the current implementation; I'm not claiming that the implementation is correct. > > When the system is later resumed, you would hit that broken activation > > code of the runtime suspended device, with a likewise runtime suspended > > parent, and the warning would be printed. > > Why would the parent be runtime suspended?

I think understand what you're getting at and yes, the parent *should* be RPM_ACTIVE, while I'm saying that it *currently* is not guaranteed. As mentioned above, this patch does make sure that child and parent are both runtime resume when suspending and therefore remain RPM_ACTIVE throughout suspend. This specifically means that the explicit activation code on resume can now be removed. But I should fix that paragraph and not blame the explicit activation code for not "making sure that the parent was runtime resumed". In fact, some of the parent glue drivers also do register accesses in their suspend/resume callbacks which ought to have been preceded by an explicit runtime resume. These glue drivers are a bit special however and does check for a registered child in their pm callbacks so it's not a problem in practise. I think I'll add them anyway for clarity in a follow up patch.
