I wouldn't say that the above is the way how I see the calls to
dev_pm_genpd_set_performance_state (or actually
dev_pm_opp_set_rate|opp()) being deployed. The calls should rather be
done from the subsystem/driver's ->runtime_suspend|resume() callback,
then the path above would work in the way you suggest.

Although, as we currently treat performance states and power states in
genpd orthogonally, I wanted to make sure we could cope with both
situations.

I think letting the drivers to call
dev_pm_genpd_set_performance_state(dev, 0) from suspend/resume makes
it really ugly/racy as both depend on the gpd_data->performance_state
for this. It doesn't look nice. And we shouldn't try to protect such
drivers.

Anyway, your call :)

Did this help? :-)

Yes :)
