sheesh, who is that crazy TI guy.  They should probably fire him.

That's debatable I guess.  The ideal world is that runtime PM hides all
of this, but I'm not sure it's achievable in all cases.

Ah, I see.  Makes sense.

No, that sysfs knob is for disabling runtime PM.  We still want the
device to hit low-power state in system suspend.  Solving that problem
is half the reason we have this omap_device noirq mess in the first
place.

You need to test this by disabling runtime PM from userspace and ensure
that the low power state is still hit during suspend.

Agreed.  I wasn't thinking about the autosuspend case.  Thanks for
clarifying.

The question is why do you a flag in addition to OMAP_DEVICE_SUSPEND.
Whenever that flag is set, omap_device has gone behind your back, and
the runtime PM status should be kept in sync.
