I'll send that clk patch separately once this series and some other tegra-clk patches will be merged, otherwise there are too many dependencies and it's too difficult to review.

You are likely correct from the merging point of view, but for
completeness I would prefer to look at the whole series. Would you
mind folding in some of these changes too?

Hmm. In general, the new changes to genpd and the opp library with
"performance states" for DVFS, should help to avoid using clock rate
notifications.

Instead of updating the performance votes from the clock provider
driver, the more proper thing would be to let the clock consumer
driver (various drivers) to call dev_pm_opp_set_rate() when it needs
to move to a new OPP. This also means calling dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev,
0) when the votes for an OPP can be dropped.

In this way, the opp library will call genpd to update the performance
state vote for the corresponding device.

What we have there is the tegra-host1x device driver that resumes PMC powergate domain on Tegra30, the PMC driver enables clock from the genpd.power_on callback of the powergate domain and this propagates to the clock's RPM callback which sets the performance vote of the core domain. Hence core domain vote is set from within of the powergate domain.

Right, this sounds like a fragile looking path. Are you sure it can't
lead into deadlock situations?

In any case, we designed dev_pm_opp_set_rate() (and its friends in
genpd) with these locking issues in mind.

I was not trying to solve a problem, but was just curious and wanted
to ask about the reasons for the lockdep_set_class(), as it simply
caught my attention while reviewing.

Looks like there may be something fishy going on, but let's see, I may be wrong.

Thanks for sharing the log.

Could you perhaps point me to the corresponding DTS files. I would
like to understand more about the PM domain hierarchy and where the
clock controller may be located.

Kind regards
