    iwlwifi: mvm: implement D3 testing · debff618
    Johannes Berg authored
    For testing the D3 (WoWLAN) firmware, it is useful to be able
    to run the firmware with instrumentation while the host isn't
    sleeping and can poke at the firmware debug logging etc.
    
    Implement this by a debugfs file. When the file is opened the
    D3 firmware is loaded and all regular commands are blocked.
    While the file is being read, poll the firmware's PME status
    flag and report EOF once it changes to non-zero. When it is
    closed, do (most of) the resume processing. This lets a user
    just "cat" the file. Pressing Ctrl-C to kill the cat process
    will resume the firwmare as though the platform resumed for
    non-wireless reason and when the firmware wants to wake up
    reading from the file automatically completes.
    
    Unlike in real suspend, only disable interrupts and don't
    reset the TX/RX hardware while in the test mode. This is a
    workaround for some interrupt problems that happen only when
    the PCIe link isn't fully reset (presumably by changing the
    PCI config space registers which the core PCI code does.)
    
    Note that while regular operations are blocked from sending
    commands to the firmware, they could still be made and cause
    strange mac80211 issues. Therefore, while using this testing
    feature you need to be careful to not try to disconnect, roam
    or similar, and will see warnings for such attempts.
    
    Als note that this requires an upcoming firmware change to
    tell the driver the location of the PME status flag in SRAM.
    D3 test will fail if the firmware doesn't report the pointer.
