Yes, I can split out the debug stuff from this set for next rev. I'll
also take a look at the tracepoints if they can be used reasonably for
this purpose. We can add tracepoints for failed suspend for each
powerdomain, but are tracepoints a good way to do this kind of recursive
dumps (well, we could maybe register a trace event recursively from
clkdm + clk code if a powerdomain fails to transition.)
