Hi,

Support for Retention looks interesting, can you shed more lights
on it



Right now, only setting max_blk_size correctly as supporting
ADMA and Retention will take a lot of work.

Tested on OMAP5 uEVM.

HWINFO has a bit (bit 6) which tells you whether retention is supported,
it's in all TRMs since OMAP3630 or so.

6  RERETMODE   Retention mode generic parameter
This bit field indicates whether the
retention mode is supported using the
pin PIRFFRET.

0x0: Retention mode disabled
0x1: Retention mode enabled

I have seen that but just wondering how the driver can make use of it :-)

oh, perhaps you can use to conditionally save context. The difficulty is
knowing if we're going to RET or OFF, but that could be extrapolated
from pm_qos, perhaps ?!?

just a thought.

Got mislead by your reply to this series, about the alternative way of
reading memory size from CAPA register


sure, we can do that if you prefer, I just felt I wouldn't touch

 platforms I can't really test :-s

I think so, since those 3 newer registers are not documented for all platforms.
Not sure whether it is valid in those cases where it is not documented.

Since capa register has these info and can be
applied uniformly across all paltforms, I feel reading capa register is the
way to go. Do you still think there is a need for new api with no offset ?




this has been here for almost a month, any comments ?



Do you see any performance impact with this series ?


in the normal case ? no... it helps only with large transfers



Do you have the numbers ?
Is it for read or write,
how large should the transfer size be ?

I couldn't get any performance improvements with this patch series,
Could you please share your test setup, may be I am missing something.

that same HWINFO register gives you information about availability of
ADMA or not.

just OMAP5 uEVM with UHS-I memory card.
