That patch sets the allowable power domain states for the am35x; the intent
of this patch was to make the code respect what is set in the pwrst* fields.

Well, sort of.  pwrdm_set_next_pwrst() fails if its an invalid state
returning -EINVAL.  Very few of the callers actually check to see if
it failed so they don't try the "next-one-up" power state.  The net
result is that the next state doesn't change even though it could
move to a lower state (just not the one that was asked for).

Is that acceptable?

Another sort of strange one is omap3_pm_off_mode_enable().  If its
called with 'enable' set and PWRDM_POWER_OFF isn't a valid state,
omap_set_pwrdm_state() will return 0 and leave the next state alone.
When omap3_pm_off_mode_enable() is called again with 'enable' set,
omap_set_pwrdm_state() will find the lowest valid state >= RET.
So, if you had a device where OFF wasn't valid but RET was and
its currently ON, when the user enables OFF mode, it stays ON
and when they disable OFF mode, it moves to RET.

Is that acceptable?

If the things above are acceptable, then I think you're right, we can
forget this patch.  FYI, the am35x appears to work okay and no invalid
states are entered (according to /sys/kernel/debug/pm_debug/count)
without this patch.
