Mostly, but not all :)

That's the whole point of *dynamic* pm; _when_ the client wants to
request a translation, _then_ the device is waken up, which is what I
believe the code currently does.

After your patch, even if I don't use the camera, or the DSP, the
iommu devices will be enabled, and will be consuming energy *all the
time*. Which I don't think is what we want.

I'm not saying I have a solution, I'm simply saying that's what's
going to happen if I'm correct.

I understand, but perhaps there should be?

All right, it has been some time since I've touched pm code, so if you say so.

You are doing __pm_runtime_disable(dev, true), kfree will do
__pm_runtime_disable(dev, false), which is what we want. Both will
decrement the disable_depth.

But at least you agree that there's a chance that the device will be waken up.

Yeap, according to the TRM. Take a look at 12.3 Camera ISP Integration
Fig 12-50.

Cheers.
