Re: [PATCH] mmc: core: Mark mmc_host device with pm_runtime_no_callbacks

[hieagle <chgokhl@gmail.com>]

Sorry, I don't receive the reply email in my gmail.

Normally the mmc_host's power.disable_depth is large than zero, the
rpm_resume(mmc:0001) will not be called recursively for parent. This is
the most case.

Although the mmc class device never calls pm_runtime_enable() directly,
there are still some cases as below to call pm_runtime_enable(), which
may cause it's power.disable_depth decremented to zero.
  case1: device_resume_early->pm_runtime_enable
  case2: device_resume->pm_runtime_enable

Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Unfortunately we meet the case.
If you trigger to set the mmc_host's power.disable_depth value to zero
after mmc suspended, you can find the issue.

In our platform the mmc device's parent list is as below:
     mmc0:0001->mmc_host mmc0->fa630000.mmc->soc.
The rpm_resume call trace is as below in our scenario:

rpm_resume(mmc0:0001)
|
if (!parent && dev->parent) //true
if (!parent->power.disable_depth
   && !parent->power.ignore_children) //true
rpm_resume(parent, 0) --->  rpm_resume(mmc_host, 0)
|                           |
|                           callback = RPM_GET_CALLBACK(mmc_host, ...) = NULL
|                           retval = rpm_callback(callback, mmc_host) = -ENOSYS
|                           |
|                           return retval = -ENOSYS
if (retval) goto out; //skip rpm_callback()
return retval = -ENOSYS

The scenario is rare, but anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
The patch can enhance the code to avoid this scenario.
