Ok, so I'll leave it as is then.

Ok I completely misunderstood (in a stupid way) what you were asking
me to do. I don't mind breaking it up into smaller patches at all.
Will do so.

Agreed for the example you are giving where PM domains/voltages are
dropped automatically when dropping the device freq to suspend freq.
I'm just wondering about a different scenario where if some power
domain needed to be at say 0.5v when it's suspended (no consumer using
it) to not lose state, or to come back up without brownouts, etc then
suspend OPP for PM domains might be useful. But I don't know enough
about that to speak with authority, so I'll leave it at this.

I see this suspend-opp as a way to mark to what level the bandwidth
needs to be dropped to/brought back up from during suspend/resume by
the driver making interconnect bandwidth requests. For example, what
if the CPU -> DDR needed to be at some level to avoid suspend/resume
issues (say CPU bug with respect to timing/latencies)? In this
example, the CPU driver would be the one making bandwidth requests for
CPU -> DDR bandwidth during normal operation and during
suspend/resume. So it's basically exactly the same way it would treat
CPU freq OPP.

Btw, I don't have a strong opinion on this. But, even if we do only a
rate comparison, what does it even mean to compare rates for genpd or
BW opp tables? It's just weird. So I think it's nicer to just allow
marking any OPP as suspend OPP in any OPP table type. If there's a
need people can use it, if not, nothing is lost.
