Hi Johan,
Is there any general method to open/close bluetooth, using rfkill or
pm_runtime_get/put_* API.
Currently we use rfkill to close bluetooth, however we met dead lock
issue, for mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex).
So we use workaround to rmmod bt.ko first, or revert the rfkill patch
in hci_core.c.
BT/WIFI device have chip select pin, we register one rfkill with
sd8x_set_block, and control chip select pin to open/close bt/wifi/fm.
for example:
rfkill unblock bluetooth to open bt
rfkill block bluetooth to close bt
When "rfkill block bluetooth",
rfkill_fop_write->mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex)->rfkill_set_block->sd8x_set_block->waiting
for card is freed.
BT driver will call
hci_unregister_dev->rfkill_unregister->mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex);
So mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex) will be dead locked.
If so, do we have to use other method to control chip select pin to
control bt power, such as pm_runtime_get/put_* API.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Marcel
Do you have some suggestion?
When we use "rfkill block bluetooth" to disable bt, bt driver call
hci_unregister_dev to free driver.
The dead lock happens for acquiring mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex).
One in rfkill_unregister from hci_unregister_dev, the other in
rfkill_fop_write from "rfkill block bluetooth" .
Is this the correct method to open/close bluetooth.
Thanks
