You must use PSCI and it will set the ops and it can't be module.

Suspend-to_Idle(S2I) is another suspend method supported by linux kernel. The corresponding s2idle_ops can be hooked by s2idle_set_ops by underlying platforms. For example, S2I is now introduced into Mediatek SoC platforms. Besides, power management driver is built as kernel module. Mobile platforms are now call for kernel drivers to be kernel modules. This could help drivers easier to migrate to newer linux kernel. Ref: https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/790/ Regards, Claude

But I am interested in looking at the module you want to use this and how that interacts with PSCI. If this is arm64, you must use PSCI for system suspend and cpu suspend. What does this module do on top of those is what I want to know. Please post that module or point me if it is already present in the tree.

Regardless, generally speaking, patches that export stuff to modules without an in-the-tree user needing this are not applicable to the mainline kernel source tree IMV. Cheers!

Thank for your feedbacks! Indeed, there is no actual kernel module which uses s2idle_set_ops in Mainline kernel right now. However, Google recently ask SoC vendors to build drivers as kernel modules for reducing migration efforts. For example, The power management driver on Mediatek platform is now built as vendor module, which has no plan to upstream so far. From Mainline kernel's perspective, I am wondering whether such vendor modules are applicable to export APIs. Exporting APIs only at Google's Android Common Kernel is an option, but this would make Android Kernel and Mainline kernel much more diverse. Regards, Claude
