It's not clear to me whether you omitted handling the case of
rpm-suspended device on purpose or not. I think it should be a part of
this patch, but sounds like you want to work on it separately, correct?

The current behaviour is incorrect for Tegra because it needs to set the
rpm_pstate for rpm-suspended device, instead of bumping the state
immediately.

Power management is defeated without it on Tegra because SoC will start
to consume extra power while device that needs this power is suspended.

Otherwise $subject looks okay.

Either is fine. Although, won't it be easier to keep these PD patches
within the Tegra series since it depends on them? I can pick up the
patches into the next version of Tegra series.
