All, regarding the need for the patch proposed by Rafael on PC401, I have some updates to share from Hynix. First off - the firmware changelog is misleading from 80006E00 to 80007E00. The change was made in the firmware specifically because of a change in behavior from Intel KBL to CFL and WHL. On CFL/WHL the period of time that RefClk was turned on after L1.2 was larger than KBL platforms. So this meant that Hynix couldn't lock up from CLKREQ# to RefClk as quickly on CFL/WHL. So there is a "larger" fixed delay introduced in their FW. To those that don't know - XPS 9380 is a WHL platform. Second - a hypothesis of what is happening with the patch proposed by Rafael is that the link is only transitioning to L1.0 rather than L1.2. This may satisfy the PMC but it shouldn't lead to the lowest actual device power state.
