This patch ensures our parent is awake before a reboot takes place. This
prevents situations in which the I2C host has been suspended and cannot
be safely woken up anymore when it needs to talk to us.

Hi!

This is supposed to resolve the issue that came up in the review of
"[PATCH v2] i2c: sh_mobile: implement atomic transfers" that the parent
controller may be suspended when the restart method is called. See
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-i2c/msg46367.html for details.

Why not call pm_runtime_get_sync() in da9063_wdt_restart() ? What
guarantees that the local notifier is called before the watchdog core's
restart notifier ? And what is the point of using the watchdog core's
reboot handler if it is bypassed anyway ?

Also, why is it not necessary to call pm functions when the watchdog is
started, when it is stopped, and during suspend/resume ?

Thanks,
Guenter

It's no longer safe to do so at that point because the restart handler runs in atomic context. The unpleasant details can be found at https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-i2c/msg46367.html

It would seem to me that a reboot notifier that triggers after the restart notifier (which, if successfully handled, does not return) would be rather pointless.

I don't think it's bypassed, it should be possible to register several reboot notifiers per device.

It would also be possible to do this stuff in the core's reboot handler, but I have chosen not to do so because the core seems to avoid dealing with PM, which I assume is a design decision. Also, it would affect all other drivers with a restart handler, with (to me) unforeseeable effects. What do you think?

These cases are handled automatically, AFAIK.
