I'm debugging why suspend/resume on AM3x and AM4x are mostly working,
but getting the warning that not all powerdomains are transitioning:

   pm33xx pm33xx: PM: Could not transition all powerdomains to target state

I bisected it down to $SUBJECT patch, and verified that reverting it
makes both on am335x-boneblack and am437x-gp-evm fully suspend, and I'm
now seeing:

   pm33xx pm33xx: PM: Successfully put all powerdomains to target state

Note that it doesn't revert cleanly due to some other changes, but this
one-liner[1] effectively reverts the behavior of $SUBJECT patch, and
also makes things work again.

I verified the revert (and hack[1]) on both v5.10 stable and mainline
v5.16 but TBH, I'm still not 100% sure what's going on so looking for
some guidance from you Tony on what the "real" fix should be.
