Hi Kevin,

I am wondering if OMAP would benefit from letting the PM core allow
runtime suspends during system suspend, which is not the case as of
now.

My impression is that it could simplify OMAP drivers and the power
domain, but it would be interesting to hear your opinion in this. It
somewhat touches this patch. I guess.

The reason for bringing this up here, is that I wanted to highlight
that we are at the moment discussing the following RFC on the linux-pm
mailing list:

"[RFC PATCH] PM / Runtime: Allow to inactivate devices during system suspend".

Kind regards
Ulf Hansson
