Thanks for clarifying!

Although, can you please elaborate a bit more on the actual use case?
What are the typical co-processor and what drivers are involved in
managing it?

As you may know, runtime PM becomes disabled during system suspend of
a device. Which means, if the driver tries to power off the
coprocessor (via calling pm_runtime_put() for example), somewhere in
the system suspend phase of the corresponding device, its attached PM
domain stays powered on when managed by genpd.

Then in the suspend_noirq phase, genpd tries to power off the PM
domain, unless there are wakeups to consider.

Taking the above into account, wouldn't that mean that you potentially
may end up keeping the PM domain powered on, even if it actually can
be powered off in the suspend_noirq phase by genpd?

Kind regards
Uffe
