The issue may exist in our most users. Our users mainly are in v4l2.
normally their flow like this:
a) VIDIOC_REQBUFS: call dma_alloc_attrs or dma_buf_map_attachment.
b) VIDIOC_STREAMON. 
c) VIDIOC_QBUF: device_run: pm_runtime_get_sync.

Requesting they call pm_runtime_get before dma_alloc_attrs looks not
reasonable. It seems that they should not care about this.

This patch mainly make sure the flow is right. Locally I have a TODO to
try get the real power-domain status here, the sample code like below:

static struct notifier_block mtk_penpd_notifier;

/* Register the genpd notifier. */
mtk_penpd_notifier.notifier_call = mtk_iommu_pd_callback;
ret = dev_pm_genpd_add_notifier(dev, &mtk_penpd_notifier);

/* Then get the real power domain status in the notifier */
 static int mtk_iommu_pd_callback(struct notifier_block *nb,
                        unsigned long flags, void *data) 
 {
       if (flags == GENPD_NOTIFY_ON)
           /* the real power domain is power on */
       else if (flags == GENPD_NOTIFY_PRE_OFF)
           /* the real power domain are going to power off. Take it as
power off.
            * Skip the tlb ops after receivice this flag.
            */
 }
 
 How about this? or any other suggestion to get the real power-domain
rather than the iommu device's power domain status.
 Thanks.
