Very nice!

Do you know what's taking so long? I'm disabling clks + the main power
domain in panthor (I leave the regulators enabled), but I didn't get to
measure the time it takes to enter/exit suspend. I might have to do
what you did in panfrost and have different paths for system and RPM
suspend.

Thanks for working on that, and sorry if I've been picky in my previous
reviews. Looking forward to review these new patches.
