Okay, I see.

The reason why I suggested moving the callbacks to "suspend_late", was
that I was worried that some of the attached devices to genpd could
use "suspend_late" themselves. This is the case for some drivers for
DMA/clock/gpio/pinctrl-controllers, for example. That said, I am
curious to look at the DT files for the platform you are running,
would you mind giving me a pointer?

So, this made me think about this a bit more. In the end, just using
different levels (suspend, suspend_late, suspend_noirq) of callbacks
are just papering over the real *dependency* problem.

What we need for the genpd provider driver, is to be asked to be
suspended under the following conditions:
1. All consumer devices (and child-domains) for its corresponding PM
domain have been suspended.
2. All its supplier devices supplies must remain resumed, until the
genpd provider has been suspended.

Please allow me a few more days to think in more detail about this.

In some way, it looks like we should be able to combine the
information genpd has about its devices and child-domains, use PM
callbacks for the genpd provider driver - so we can rely on the
depency-path the fw_devlinks would give us for its supplier devices.

Kind regards
