BTW, what platform are you running on and also what PM domains are being used? Anyway, it seems like there may be need for certain cases, but certainly not all - especially since it may slow down the shutdown process, when not needed. Can we make this runtime configurable, via sysfs or whatever that makes sense!? > > commit 2d30bb0b3889 ("platform: Do not detach from PM domains on shutdown"), > removes what this patch tries to add, because of a warning. > commit e79aee49bcf9 ("PM: Avoid false-positive warnings in dev_pm_domain_set()") > already fixes the false alarm warning.

To make this fully work, we need to call dev_pm_domain_detach() from amba, spi, etc as well. Perhaps another option to manage this more generally, an without having detach devices, could be to extend the struct dev_pm_domain with a new callback, "->shutdown()" and then make the driver core call it from device_shutdown(). Typically, for genpd, I would probably count the number of calls being made to ->shutdown() per PM domain, then when it reaches the number of attached devices to it, allow to power off it. Let's see what Rafael thinks about it. Kind regards Uffe
