Probably I am missing something, but which power domain associated to a
rail is scaled to NOM corner here?


That would be the parent of the GCC_USB30_PRIM_GDSC, which should be the
CX rail. We currently have a NOM requirement here just in case we're
going to operate a SuperSpeed link, and the driver doesn't scale.


This is a bit concerning. There are other subsystems which share CX
rail, including GPU. So a hw spec violation on USB may impact these
subsystems which would be pretty hard to root cause to USB.

@Krishna, do you plan to fix this with a follow up patch?


That said, your question is very much valid, because on SM8750 GCC
doesn't specify CX as a power-domain of &gcc, this vote goes into the
void.

So the fix is to just add the VDD_CX power domain to the gcc node and a
gcc driver change to enable "use_rpm" flag?


Will check with the team internally and post a patch.
