Thanks a lot for confirmation.

I will add pm_runtime_get/pm_runtime_put for apb clock.

But for CPU power domain, AFAIK this part is managed by PSCI but is not
controlled by pm_runtime_{put|get} pairs. So at beginning, we suggest
to use "nohlt" to ensure CPU power domain is enabled.

Please let me know if I miss some thing for this?
