    i2c: imx: add runtime pm support to improve the performance · 588eb93e
    Gao Pan authored
    
    In our former i2c driver, i2c clk is enabled and disabled in
    xfer function, which contributes to power saving. However,
    the clk enable process brings a busy wait delay until the core
    is stable. As a result, the performance is sacrificed.
    
    To weigh the power consumption and i2c bus performance, runtime
    pm is the good solution for it. The clk is enabled when a i2c
    transfer starts, and disabled after a specifically defined delay.
    
    If CONFIG_PM is disabled the net result of this patch is that the
    clock is never disabled.
    
    Without the patch the test case (many eeprom reads) executes with approx:
    real 1m7.735s
    user 0m0.488s
    sys 0m20.040s
    
    With the patch the same test case (many eeprom reads) executes with approx:
    real 0m54.241s
    user 0m0.440s
    sys 0m5.920s
