Yes, for serial core I have long standing patch series to implement
RPM (more or less?) properly.

However, OMAP is a beast which prevents us to go due to a big hack
called pm_runtime_irq_safe().
Tony is aware of this and I think the above is somehow related to removal of it.

But I completely agree that the goal is to get better runtime PM
implementation over all.
