Sorry. It's my first time submitting a patch. I will fix it and resubmit.

>> According to Mr. Felipe Balbi, the original patch was not accepted because interrupts would be missed when GPIO was used as IRQ source. But in my tests with pandaboard, interrupts were not missed. This is because _idle_sysc() sets the idlemode of gpio module to smart-idle-wakeup, and according to OMAP4430 TRM, under this idlemode, the gpio can generate an asynchronous wakeup request to the PRCM. And after GPIO is awake, the wake-up request is reflected into the interrupt status registers.

According to the respective TRMs, their GPIO modules also can generate wake-up request if the idlemode is set to smart-idle or smart-idle-wakeup. So the patch should work for them, too. But I suspect a potential SW bug may cause missed interrupts: the am33xx_gpio_sysc.idlemodes is marked as capable of SIDLE_SMART_WKUP in omap_hwmod_33xx.c. But according to AM335x TRM, _only_ gpio0 is capable of this mode. This may make GPIO stuck in force-idle mode and unable to generate wakeup request. And thus interrupt will be missed. Again, I don’t have the HW to verify whether this is a bug or not :(

I agree that if the power domain goes to idle, SMART_WAKEUP
won't be effective. But, correct me if i'm wrong, even if we don't call
runtime_put(), the power domain can still go to idle. Because the
modulemode of GPIO is set to HW_AUTO in this case, which won't
prevent the power domain goes to retention. So this patch doesn't
make the situation worse.

I did a quick google search but didn't find the problem with the two
functions. Could you give me a pointer here?

I tested using a gpio pin as interrupt source after applying the patch.
What are the other tests that I should do? Is there a formal way of
reporting test results here?

the am33xx_gpio_sysc.idlemodes is marked as capable of
SMART_WKUP in omap_hwmod_33xx.c. But according to TRM,
only gpio0 is capable of this. So i suspect the patch won't work
for omap3. I don't have the hardware to verify this. Could someone
verify it? Thank you.
