I'll add one for v5.

This should be easy, we can add a hook at the pwrdm_clkdm_enable /
disable calls to check against idle / active states. However, seeing the
acceptance status for the usecounting series, we probably have to just
go ahead with the extra latency involved iochain series and make
optimizations later once the usecounting can be accepted.

Speaking of the usecounting series, Paul, did you have any time to look
at it? Also, there are still some issues seen by Kevin on that series
with omap3430 which I am unable to reproduce (I posted a couple of trial
patches for taking care of that but don't know how they behave.)
