We could also do pm_runtime_get on the > CPU's power domain, if the CPU is online, before we access the pcsr. I will add pm_runtime_get/pm_runtime_put for apb clock. But for CPU power domain, AFAIK this part is managed by PSCI but is not controlled by pm_runtime_{put|get} pairs. So at beginning, we suggest to use "nohlt" to ensure CPU power domain is enabled. Please let me know if I miss some thing for this?
