This is just unnecessary maintenance churn and it's not the
right way to go. Better to fix this the right way instead of having
a temporary fix.

I had already sent-out a patch series 5 months back to describe
this in DT:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220727114302.302201-1-apatel@ventanamicro.com/

No one has commented/suggested anything (except Samuel
Holland and Sudeep Holla).

Please review this series. I can quickly address comments to
make this available for Linux-6.2. Until this series is merged,
the affected platforms can simply remove non-retentive suspend
states from their DT.

With all due respect, NACK to this patch from my side.

Regards,
Anup
