Do you plan to add more AMD-specific admin docs in the future?

I don't have any others planned right now. That move was because I noticed a toc warning with how I had it structured before.

(BTW, I don't
follow v2 discussions.)

Don't worry; documentation hasn't been talked about in v2, it's all been discussion on the S5_RESET_STATUS.


+As there are a lot of places that problems can occur, a debugging script has

+https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/superm1/amd-debug-tools.git/tree/amd_s2idle.py
+
+If you have an s2idle issue, it's best to start with this and follow instructions
+from its findings.  If you continue to have an issue, raise a bug with the
+report generated from this script.

To mailing list following Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst?

Actually I prefer them to drm/amd with the s2idle bug template. I'll add this detail.


+First convert the GPIO number into hex. ::
+
+  $ python3 -c "print(hex(59))"
+  0x3b
+
+Next determine which ACPI table has the ``_EVT`` entry. For example: ::
+
+  $ sudo grep EVT /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SSDT*
+  grep: /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SSDT27: binary file matches
+
+Decode this table:::
+
+  $ sudo cp /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SSDT27 .
+  $ sudo iasl -d SSDT27

Nit: two colons are sufficient for literal code-block.

Thanks.


+To activate PM debugging, use the kernel command line option: ``pm_debug_messages``.
+
+Or enable the feature using the sysfs file: ``/sys/power/pm_debug_messages``
+Constraints that are not met will be displayed in the kernel log and can be
+viewed using anything that processes the kernel ring buffer such as ``dmesg``` or
+``journalctl``.

"To activate PM debugging, either specify ``pm_debug_messagess`` kernel
command-line option at boot or write to ``/sys/power/pm_debug_messages``.
Unmet constraints will be displayed in the kernel log and can be
viewed by logging tools that process kernel ring buffer like dmesg or
journalctl."

What about that patchset status? It was not reviewed by upstream maintainers,
right?


At the time I wrote this document it wasn't yet merged. It's been since merged, I will update to the commit details.
