deprecated bindings with a newer kernel
shouldn't cause any problems since it is
the driver changes that make AOSS PD
mandatory or not. So the newer kernel will
just use qmp_send and leave the PD unused.


Maybe I'm missing something in your argument here, but I see two issues:
* The changes here requires that the new qcom,qmp property is defined,
  or the qcom_qmp_get() will be unable to find the qmp instance.
* Between patch 2 and 5 there's no load_state handling.

Perhaps we can carry the power-domain handling as a fallback i
qcom_qmp_get() fails, for a few releases?

The load_state implementation is currently
broken i.e. it currently sends that the
remoteproc is down during suspend. AFAIK it
can be safely dropped without side-effects.
I'll respin the series fixing Rob's comments.



Other than the ordering and backwards compatibility issue I think this
looks good. So can you please respin this based on the later revision of
the qmp patch? (And fix Rob's request on the commit message)

sure I don't mind, as long as it simplifies
the merge process.
