The problem with that approach is that if those drivers are cross SoC
drivers. In some cases PM isn't needed and it is.

Of course I don't have the in depth knowledge about the drivers being
used in Tegra which may need PM, perhaps it's not that many?

Anyway, to me it seems like ARCH_TEGRA should depend on PM instead.
Would that work?

Kind regards
