These suspend parameters look funky.. is this just a PSCI sleep
implementation that strays far away from Arm's suggested guidelines?
not really! it's just that 30th bit is set according to spec i.e
it's marked as a retention state.
So, is there no state where the cores actually power down? Or is it
not described yet?
FWIW by "power down" I mean it in the sense that Arm DEN0022D does,
so "In this state the core is powered off. Software on the device
needs to save all core state, so that it can be preserved over
the powerdown."
I was told we mark it explicitly as retention because hw is expected
to handle powerdown and we don't want sw to also do the same.

So, can the 3 clusters not shut down their L2 and PLLs (if separate?)
on their own?
on CL5 the clusters are expected to shutdown their l2 and PLL on their
own.
Then I think this won't happen with this description
every cpu has a genpd tree like this:
cpu_n
|_CPU_PDn
|_CLUSTER_PD
and CLUSTER_PD has two idle states: CLUSTER_CL4 and CLUSTER_CL5
which IIUC means that neither cluster idle state will be reached
unless all children of CLUSTER_PD (so, all CPUs) go down that low
This is "fine" on e.g. sc8280 where both CPU clusters are part of
the same Arm DynamIQ cluster (which is considered one cluster as
far as MPIDR_EL1 goes) (though perhaps that's misleading and with
the qcom plumbing they perhaps could actually be collapsed separately)
We did verify that the sleep stats increase independently for each
cluster, so it's behavior is unlike what you explained above. I'll
re-spin this series again in the meantime and you can take another
stab at it there.
