Hi Rafael, Danilo, Pavel, Len, Zhongqiu,

A gentle ping on this v4 series. I was hoping to see if there is any
further feedback on this approach to introducing the
"pm_qos_resume_latency_us=" boot parameter.

Please let me know if any further adjustments are required, or if you need
me to rebase this against the latest power management tree.


Kind regards,
