Hi Kevin,

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

I tested enabling power domain transitions to off mode [1] and suspending to RAM
[2] with both DT and legacy boot. With legacy booting everything works as 
expected.

In the DT case suspending/resume (without enabling off mode) doesn't affect
system operation. For example the Ethernet chip that uses a GPIO IRQ still is
able to transmit frames after suspending to RAM and waking up the board hitting
Ctrl+C in the serial console.

Now, enabling off mode [2] with DT makes the board to never go out from suspend:

root@igep00x0:~# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/pm_debug/enable_off_mode
root@igep00x0:~# echo mem > /sys/power/state
[  129.833343] PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
[  129.879211] Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.
[  129.905487] Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.02 seconds) 
done.
[  129.935363] Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)

The board just hangs/sleeps and I don't have a way to take it from suspend.

I don't know if there something missing on my board DT file but I think this is
orthogonal with these patches since since I got the same behavior without them.

Best regards,
Javier
