My understanding is that when resuming the 38310000.video-codec, the
vpumix isn't powered up. It happens because runtime_status and
runtime_last_status = RPM_ACTIVE. 

I tried to change blk-ctrl suspend routine to force the runtime_status
= RPM_SUSPENDED, but the system ended up hanging on another device.

From the comment in blk-ctrl suspend, we rely on PM_SLEEP code that
iterates over dpm_list for suspend/resume.
I did look at the dpm_list, and it changes the order on every boot. 

With all the tests, I also found that the system randomly hangs on
dispblk-lcdif suspend. I have confirmed this device is in a different
place in the dpm_list (not sure if it is the root cause). 
I haven't understood how blk-ctrl ensures the correct order there yet. 

Taking the following dpm_list excerpt:
idx - device
------------------------------
...                                                                   
191 - imx-pgc-domain.7                                                
192 - imx-pgc-domain.8                                                
193 - imx-pgc-domain.9                                                
194 - 38330000.blk-ctrl                                               
195 - 38310000.video-codec                                            
196 - 38300000.video-codec                                            
...
205 - genpd:0:38330000.blk-ctrl
206 - genpd:1:38330000.blk-ctrl
207 - genpd:2:38330000.blk-ctrl
208 - genpd:3:38330000.blk-ctrl
------------------------------

Shouldn't genpd devices be before 38330000.blk-ctrl?
As their power domain is GPC and the blk-ctrl power domain is genpd.
