malidp_pm_suspend_late checks if the runtime status is not suspended and if so, invokes malidp_runtime_pm_suspend which disables the display engine/core interrupts and the clocks. It sets the runtime status as suspended.
The difference between suspend() and suspend_late() is as follows:-
- suspend() makes the device quiescent. In our case, we invoke the DRM
helper which disables the CRTC. This would have invoked runtime pm suspend but the system suspend process disables runtime pm. 2. suspend_late() It continues the suspend operations of the drm device which was started by suspend(). In our case, it performs the same functionality as runtime_suspend().
The complimentary functions are resume() and resume_early(). In the case of resume_early(), we invoke malidp_runtime_pm_resume() which enables the clocks and the interrupts. It sets the runtime status as active. If the device was in runtime suspend mode before system suspend was called, pm_runtime_work() will put the device back in runtime suspended mode( after the complete system has been resumed).

Afaiui we still haven't bottomed out on the discussion on v1. Did you get hold of Rafael?
No, there was no reply from him. Lets try again:
Rafael, we are debating on what the proper approach is for handling the suspend/resume callbacks for a DRM driver that is likely to not be runtime suspended when the power-down happens (because we are driving the display output). We are using in this patch the LATE_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS in order to do the work that we also do during runtime suspend, which is turning off the output and the clocks driving it. The reason for doing that is because the PM core takes a runtime reference during system suspend for all devices that are not already runtime suspended, so our runtime_pm_suspend() hook is never called.
Daniel's argument is that we should not be doing this from LATE hooks, but from the normal suspend hooks, however kernel doc seems to suggest otherwise.
For more context: I thought the reason behind the recommendation to stuff the rpm callbacks into the late/early hooks was to solve cross-device ordering issues. That way everyone shuts down the device functionality in the normal hooks, but only powers them off in the late hook (to allow other drivers to keep using the clock/i2c master/whatever). But we now have device_link to solve that since a while, so I'm not sure the recommendation to stuff the rpm hooks into late/early callbacks is still correct. -Daniel
It has been more than two weeks and we have not got any response from Rafael. Can you ping him personally or suggest any way by which ask him to respond?
It is in my queue though, sorry for the delay.
It would help if you resent the series with a CC to linux-pm@vger.kernel.org as it would be easier for me to review it then.
Thanks, Rafael
