I could reproduce this issue on my last GPC+BLK_CTRL series. This was
caused by a bad interaction between our slightly unusual way to control
the nested power domains via runtime PM and the system suspend/resume
code, which lead to some of the power domains not properly coming up
again in the resume path. v2 of my series fixes this issue and the
above sequence works as expected.
