Hi,

After commit 843107498f91e57d1d4b22cd8787112726fdaeb4 (bus: sunxi-rsb: Implement suspend/resume/shutdown callbacks) Q8 A33 tablet I have here cannot be powered-on after power-off, it needs press-and-hold of the power button for 10 seconds (I guess some HW assisted power down happens) before it can be powered-on again.

The following patch makes it behave correctly:

diff --git a/drivers/bus/sunxi-rsb.c b/drivers/bus/sunxi-rsb.c
index 60b082fe2ed0..30016d62044c 100644

pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev);
- sunxi_rsb_hw_exit(rsb);
}

static const struct dev_pm_ops sunxi_rsb_dev_pm_ops = {


I guess the issue comes from the fact that by the time 'power off' command to the power management IC has to be send, the bus it lives on is already down, so the device is left in semi-powered down state. Ofc this is a wild guess, however, preventing the bus being turned off on shutdown fixes the issue.

Please LMK if the above is the correct approach so I will send a proper patch or something else shall be fixed.
