In low power modes of AM335X platforms, peripherals power is cut off.
This patch supports low power sleep transition support for ELM driver.

The above code looks really wrong - it will just spin endlessly with the
waitqueues doing nothing useful.  What are you trying to do here?

The intention of waitqeue is to make the suspend process really wait till
the ELM module finishes current activity. Although this type of protection
already achieved in mtd layer using nand_suspend(), this one is particularly
required for ELM module to really make sure that *any pending* corrections to
finish really before gone to suspend.

If suspend activity initiated and NAND driver requested service of ELM
module for error correction, then suspend activity has to wait till
(info->idle == false), so that ELM module finishes activity.

I can think of adding different states to ELM module and take action.
I will add following states.

RUNNING
SUSPEND

Thanks

I don't think you understand what's going on with the above, and why the
above is completely ineffective.

1. Your wait queue head is declared on stack, and there's no references
   to it outside of this function.  So _nothing_ can activate the wait
   queue.
2. You're not changing the current thread's status away from TASK_RUNNING,
   so schedule() will either return immediately or it will schedule another
   task if it's time for this one to be preempted.

In other words, the above can be rewritten as:

	while (info->idle)
		schedule();

and it will still have the same effect.

Now, if you want to be kinder to the system, then you should use a
wait queue properly.  Put the waitqueue head in struct elm_info.  Use
wait_event() here.  And call wake_up() where you set info->idle to
false.

I understood the issue. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

It seems the entire mechanism of ELM module state check is not required.
The ELM suspend procedure initiated only after the current MTD transaction
finishes and is ensured in MTD class driver.

So I can simply disable ELM module in suspend without any check.

Thanks
