The sad fact is that removal of pm_genpd_dev_need_restore() calls
from arch/arm/mach-exynos/pm_domains.c introduces regressions in
multiple exynos drivers (I'm sure it breaks media drivers).
I think before doing such changes all relevant drivers should be
updated first. I need to take a closer look again, but it seems
after dropping the pm_genpd_dev_need_restore() calls, client
driver's runtime_resume() callback is not being called in response
to first pm_runtime_get(_sync) call, even if a device is runtime
pm active.

More details can be found in commit ebc35c726298ba3fdebba316a
'ARM: EXYNOS: register devices in 'need_restore' state for pm_domains'.

The above only happens when devices are added to an inactive power
domain, then I guess patch 2/4 is also an attempt to address this
issue ?
