Hi Mike,

Hi,

yes, when genpd is powered up then register can be accessed. but have blow problems:

1. pm_runtime_sync can trigger cluster power domian power up notifier but not really
power up the cluster, and not able to distinguish whether it is a real power up notifier
or triggered by pm_runtime_sync.
2. Using the power up/down notifier cannot actively wake up the cluster power,
which results in the components related to this cluster failing to be enabled when the cluster
power off.
3. Using the power up/down notifier for register access does not guarantee
the correct path enablement sequence.

thanks,
yuanfang
