Does it need to? M3 firmware can pretty much define "I will force the
device into low power state, and if the drivers dont handle things
properly, fix the darned driver". M3 behavior should be considered as a
"hardware" as far as Linux running on MPU is concerned, and firmware
helps change the behavior by accounting for SoC quirks. *if* we have
ability to handle this in the firmware, there is no need to carry this
in Linux.
