FYI, we have had some strange issues cropping up in regards to the
so-called ->sync_state() support in genpd, that was added in
v6.17-rc1. Not sure if this could be related.

Most of the problems pointed to commit: 0e789b491ba0 "pmdomain: core:
Leave powered-on genpds on until sync_state".

Although, it's not possible to make a plain revert of the above
commit, one can opt-out from the new behavior in genpd, by setting
GENPD_FLAG_NO_STAY_ON for the corresponding genpds that are registered
with pm_genpd_init().

Kind regards
