Hi Vivek,

Thanks for the patch. Please see my comments inline.

pm_runtime_get_sync() will return 0 if the device was powered off, 1
if it was already/still powered on or runtime PM is not compiled in,
or a negative value on error, so shouldn't the test be (ret < 0)?

Moreover, I'm actually wondering if it makes any sense to power up the
hardware just to program it and power it down again. In a system where
the IOMMU is located within a power domain, it would cause the IOMMU
block to lose its state anyway.

Actually, reflecting back on "[PATCH v7 2/6] iommu/arm-smmu: Add
pm_runtime/sleep ops", perhaps it would make more sense to just
control the clocks independently of runtime PM? Then, runtime PM could
be used for real power management, e.g. really powering the block up
and down, for further power saving.

+Generally similar comments for other places in this patch.

Is there any point in the put being sync here?

I suspect this may be a disaster for systems where IOMMUs are located
inside power domains, because the driver doesn't take care of the
IOMMU block losing its state on physical power down, as I mentioned in
my comments above.
