[PATCH RFC 2/2] pmdomain: ti-sci: Support retaining PD boot time state

[Tomi Valkeinen]

Add a new flag, TI_SCI_PD_KEEP_BOOT_STATE, which can be set in the dts
when referring to power domains. When this flag is set, the ti-sci
driver will check if the PD is currently enabled in the HW, and if so,
set the GENPD_FLAG_ALWAYS_ON flag so that the PD will stay enabled.

The main issue I'm trying to solve here is this:

If the Display Subsystem (DSS) has been enabled by the bootloader, the
related PD has also been enabled in the HW. When the tidss driver
probes, the driver framework will automatically enable the PD. While
executing the probe function it is very common for the probe to return
EPROBE_DEFER, and, in rarer cases, an actual error. When this happens
(probe() returns an error), the driver framework will automatically
disable the related PD.

Powering off the PD while the DSS is enabled and displaying a picture
will cause the DSS HW to enter a bad state, from which (afaik) it can't
be woken up except with full power-cycle. Trying to access the DSS in
this state (e.g. when retrying the probe) will usually cause the board
to hang sooner or later.

Even if we wouldn't have this board-hangs issue, it's nice to be able to
keep the DSS PD enabled: we want to keep the DSS enabled when the
bootloader has enabled the screen. If, instead, we disable the PD at the
first EPROBE_DEFER, the screen will (probably) go black.

Another option here would perhaps be to change the driver framework
(drivers/base/platform.c) which attaches and detaches the PD, and make
it somehow optional, allowing the driver the manage the PD. That option
has two downsides: 1) the driver _has_ to manage the PD, which would
rule out the use of simplefb and simpledrm, and 2) it would leave the PD
in off state from Linux's perspective until a driver enables the PD, and
that might mean that the PD gets actually disabled as part of normal
system wide power management (disabling unused resources).

Yet another option would be to do this outside the ti_sci_pm_domains
driver: a piece of code that would somehow be ran after the
ti_sci_pm_domains driver has probed (so that we have the PDs), but
before tidss/simplefb/simpledrm probes. The problem here is the
"somehow" part. Also, this would partly have the same issue 2) as
mentioned above.

TODO: If this approach is ok, sci-pm-domain.yaml needs to be extended.
Also, it sounds a bit like the cell value is not a bit-mask, so maybe
adding TI_SCI_PD_KEEP_BOOT_STATE flag this way is not fine.
