The CS35L45 features a low-power Hibernation State. In this state, all register contents are lost, but the contents of RAM are retained. In the Hibernation State, only always-on digital functions to support wake-up are enabled. Entry to this state is achieved via the register interface (either by an external driver using the control port, or the programmable DSP). Exit from this state is triggered by activity on device GPIO pins, intended SPI transaction, or I2C transaction with intended slave address
OK, so it's essentially just a faster mechanism for bringing the device out of runtime suspend?
I don't think it is a faster way since it requires interaction with DSP and restoring all wiped registers.
But it saves a some power comparing a low power state in the current driver
I would suggest doing something in the code to clarify that this is not the same thing as system level hibernation, having references to hibernate in the driver is likely to lead to confusion down the line.
The feature is named hibernation in the data sheet. Renaming it in the driver will add confusing for the driver user.
I'd also include a bit more description in the commit message too.
I will do in next version.
Please don't top post, reply in line with needed context. This allows readers to readily follow the flow of conversation and understand what you are talking about and also helps ensure that everything in the discussion is being addressed.
Thanks. I will do.
