Is it expected that I'm still seeing this on a Rock64 (rk3328), just
like before [1]?

  [   17.124202] rockchip-pm-domain ff100000.syscon:power-controller: sync_state() pending due to ff300000.gpu
  [   17.129799] rockchip-pm-domain ff100000.syscon:power-controller: sync_state() pending due to ff350000.video-codec
  [   17.140003] rockchip-pm-domain ff100000.syscon:power-controller: sync_state() pending due to ff360000.video-codec

This is with a 6.17-rc5 kernel with this patch set applied.
And it also has this patch from Christian Hewitt added, now in v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rockchip/20250906120810.1833016-1-christianshewitt@gmail.com/

When I boot into a 6.17-rc5 kernel without any patches applied, I do get
the 2 for ff350000.video-codec and ff360000.video-codec, but not the 
ff300000.gpu one.

Interestingly:
ff300000.gpu -> power-domains = <&power RK3328_PD_GPU>;
ff350000.video-codec -> power-domains = <&power RK3328_PD_VPU>;
ff360000.video-codec -> power-domains = <&power RK3328_PD_VIDEO>;

I would be surprised if that was a coincidence.

Cheers,
  Diederik
