So.. I did *something* and I'm no longer getting a jump to EDL.

The *something* being knocking off hfi_core_suspend().

If I send a sys_idle_indicator = true, I get (reformatted for
better legibility):


[    0.576543] qcom-venus 5a00000.video-codec: VenusFW  :

Which then crashes Venus for good (perhaps we're missing a
handler for such errors that would hard reset the hw), meaning
trying to access it through ffmpeg will result in it never firing
any IRQs, so no submitted commands ever complete.

With this information, after uncommenting the hfi_core_suspend
call and changing:

[1]
--- hfi_venus.c : venus_suspend_3xx() --

- venus_prepare_power_collapse(hdev, true);
+ venus_prepare_power_collapse(hdev, false);

----------------------------------------

I was able to test further. Turning the ARM9 core off messes
with the sys_idle things. Perhaps some power sequencing is
wrong. The diff I just mentioned comes from the fact that
AR50L will never ever ever send a PC_PREP_DONE ack, or at
least downstream never expects it (or any other HFI6XX
target FWIW) to do so.


Now, I also realized the adjacent set_power_control doesn't seem to be used at
all on msm-4.19 techpack/video. Testing all the possible combinations, I get
(to make it extra clear, with all the powerdown stuff in place and only diff
[1] in place atop what I already had before):


[set_idle_message] [set_power_control] [result]
0 0 - no crash at boot, venus doesn't work ->
	"Too many packets buffered for output stream 0:1."

0 1 - no crash at boot, ffmpeg hangs near vdec session init ->
	jump to EDL shortly after

1 0 - hang at boot, even before display subsys initializes ->
	platform totally hangs

1 1 - same as (1, 0), probably due to sys_idle_indicator being on ->
	platform totally hangs as well

Perhaps (0, 0) is "good" and things can be worked up from there?
Can you recheck with the firmware team if this is expected?
