Thanks :)
Making cpuidle-psci as loadable does not hold good for target does not
support DLKM, in addition to it rpmh driver has dependency on
cpuidle-psci for pm-domain and rpmh probe will get defer, their are
driver which depends on rpmh probe like interconnect, clk etc. And
eventually dependent driver probe defers which are essential for Linux
boot-up.
Hope you got scenario for getting probe defer if we make cpuidle-psci as
loadable.
I have below options as well
[A]: Can we think of making "governor/param_governor"
module_param_string, string named governor only to load. In that way
need to remove check [3]. Let's say string passed as "teo" then it will
not load "menu" and loads "teo" once comes-up.
[B]: Can we think of making cpuidle.off as writable, let governors to
register (i.e remove check [4]) and allow cpuidle_init() to happen (i.e
remove check [5])
So in this way cpuidle.off=1, your idle state can not be selected
because [6] and later we can write off=0 to let same check [6] to fail.
[C]: Coming to this series approach...What is best way to utilize
already present Flag-CPUIDLE_FLAG_OFF ?
Since we can not add new DT property to take decision in driver as it's
not HW feature to be expose in device tree [7]. Can we introduce new
module_param() for making idle-state disable default and utilize
CPUIDLE_FLAG_OFF? maybe similar to [8]
happy to hear your thoughts!
