Hi Krzysztof,
Thanks for looking into this!

I tested your patchset on the QDrive3 on a CentOS Stream 9 RT kernel (I
couldn't test it on mainline because the latest RT patchset only supports
6.1 which is missing some bits needed to boot QDrive3).

It fixes the PSCI cpuidle issue I was encountering in [1]. However, I may
have found another code path that triggers a similar issue:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:46

This happens consistently during boot. But on the mainline kernel, this
code path has changed: genpd_power_off no longer calls dev_pm_qos_flags.
So it might not happen on mainline. I hope to be able to test your
patchset again soon on mainline with the next version of the RT patchset
(which should be able to boot the QDrive3).

Best,
Adrien
