Re: Power Management Framework architectural design



The problem is that power domains don't necessarily fit into that strict hierarchical model; one "device" (the main board or whatever) might have multiple power domains with control logic of those domains not in the ancestry of the devices whose power is being managed.

This is the question I was seeking to answer to you, configuration
through inheritance is not globally feasible. I'm not sure what values you mean here, but platform specific configuration files could be used
to implement fully descriptive device profiles

I never said configuration, just providing the registration hierachical.
mainbus or whatever it is called on $RANDOM_ARCH is already MD, so it
can just register the powerdomain or whatever it should be called hooks with PMF and child devices will inherit that. What you are doing in the
hooks would be up to you.
