I find the wording in the preceding paragraph a bit confusing . Would
you mind clarifying what 'parts' means here? I guess you refer to
specific SoCs.

Also, I wonder why not disabling the clocks would forestall coming back
from a power suspension state. Have you raised this matter to the
maintainers of the RK3399 SoC subsystem?

Would you also mind describing what you did to reproduce this
resume-from-suspend issue? Lately we've been getting some fixes for
similar SoC issues and I wonder whether mine also has it.

If this patch depends on another fix being merged first, I think it's
best you delay sending a v2 until it's been committed to its relevant
subsystem tree and changes pulled into drm-misc-next.

I'm not entirely sure about what patch submission guidelines say about
testing information, but normally commit trailers must come about
last. Would you mind then moving this to right before the S-o-b?

You're effectively adding support to a whole new SoC. This made me
wonder, are we sure suspension resumption not working is only because of
GPU_PM_RT? Shouldn't we know first about its supplies and power domains,
and any potential GPU quirks? I think this goes beyond my knowledge, so
maybe Steven Price can pitch in.
