Yep, this boils down to the fact that genpd doesn't check whether the
domain-idle-state is disabled by using of_device_is_available(). See
genpd_iterate_idle_states().

That said, I suggest we go with the above one-line change. It may not
be as clean as it could be, but certainly easy to revert when the
support for it has been added in a newer kernel.

Amit, do you want me to post a new patch or do you prefer to re-spin
your patch? It doesn't matter to me.

Kind regards
