Right, but we *should* be able to.  ;)

I'm still trying to craft a good description of this problem so I can
argue better for it on linux-pm.

Until then...

A bit of a hack, but you could do a _get_noresume() (which is safe from
interrupt context) and directly call the drivers ->runtime_resume()
method, which would be the equivalent of a _get_sync().  Followed of
course by a _put() (async version, also interrupt safe) at the end of
the ISR to keep the usecount correct.

The problem though is that without a main clock, autodeps are not
tracked which means that PER might transition independently of the
initiator (in this case, MPU) which we do not want either.

I discussed this a little more with Paul, and the root of the problem is
that the clock framework really should not disable iclks if iclk
autoidle is enabled.  This is a change that is needed in the clock
framework that might have other side effects so is to late to attempt
for this merge window.

So for now, I suggest we try the above hack (well commented in the code,
of course.)

This would certainly be the ideal solution.

It would be great to get rid of the need for calling GPIO core in the
idle path, but I'm not yet convinced we can do that.

For example, there is some other errata handling in my pm-gpio branch
(that I've been waiting to rework until after this hwmod conversion.)  I
would want to be sure that those things can still be correctly handled.

Also How would you propose to handle 2430 CORE GPIOs?
