I am not sure I get your point. This is just documenting existing functionality in genpd, there is nothing new here. > > I think you can just flag the power_on/off in genpd, then have cpu_pm > callbacks do it. Not really sure what you propose, but feel free to send a patch. Do note, genpd has since the beginning of its time tried to cope with pm_runtime_irq_safe() devices. I admit it's quite complicated, however GENPD_FLAG_IRQ_SAFE greatly improved the support for such devices and their PM domains. Moreover, we need this functionality, in one way or the other, as long as there users of pm_runtime_irq_safe(). Kind regards Uffe
