Re: [PATCH 1/2] pmdomain/rockchip: skip QoS operations for idle-only domains

Further testing with NO kernel patches and fw_devlink=strict
reveals both crashes happening simultaneously on different
CPUs:

CPU1 (genpd_power_off_work_fn):
pc : regmap_mmio_read32le+0x8/0x20
Workqueue: pm genpd_power_off_work_fn

CPU2 (deferred_probe_work_func):
pc : clk_gate_endisable+0xa8/0x130
Workqueue: events_unbound deferred_probe_work_func

Kernel panic - not syncing: Asynchronous SError Interrupt

This shows there are perhaps two independent issues:

1. genpd tries to power off idle-only domains and crashes
in rockchip_pmu_set_idle_request (the regmap read at
PMU offset 0x1120 faults)

2. GPIO4 probes while PD_RKVENC is not registered (power
domain controller tore down due to PD_GPU EPROBE_DEFER)
and crashes in clk_gate_endisable

Both crashes occur in the unpatched kernel. Previously we
only observed crash #2 because it appeared first in serial
output, but maybe they're racing on different CPUs?

I also tested removing all pm_qos from all idle-only
domains (PD_VO, PD_RKVENC, PD_VPU). Crash #1 still
occurs. Because it is in rockchip_pmu_set_idle_request,
not in QoS save/restore?

fw_devlink=strict does not prevent either crash.
