In case we have succeeded to attach a CPU to its PM domain, let's deploy
runtime PM support for the corresponding attached device, to allow the CPU
to be powered-managed accordingly.

To set the triggering point for when runtime PM reference counting should
be done, let's store the index of deepest idle state for the CPU in the per
CPU struct. Then use this index to compare the selected idle state index
when entering idle, as to understand whether runtime PM reference counting
is needed or not.

Note that, from the hierarchical point view, there may be good reasons to
do runtime PM reference counting even on shallower idle states, but at this
point this isn't supported, mainly due to limitations set by the generic PM
domain.

Wonder if we can have separate psci_enter_idle_state for OSI mode so
that all these runtime extra check can be reduced ? It will also make
sure there's no additional latency for PC mode because of OSI.

Good idea, that's the plan. See previous answer.

Perhaps if I add a patch on top, implementing your suggestion, would
you be happy with that?

No, I prefer to amend this itself to keep it easy to be able to bisect.

Alright!

So I explored this a little bit more - and it actually forced me to
re-order some of the patches in the series, but it seems to have
turned out well.

In the new approach I have taken, I haven't replaced the actual
callback for the idle state, but instead make an early decision in
psci_enter_idle_state(), based on one single read of a per CPU
variable/struct. This tell what path to go.

I am running some final test, but should be able to post a new version
tomorrow. Although, if you still don't think the new approach is good
enough, we can always invent a callback, that we can assign when the
CPU is attached to PM domain. In any case, you will have to tell what
you think, after I posted the new version, just wanted to give you a
heads up.

Kind regards
Uffe
