I was thinking that we could have dispc always enabled when services from dispc have been requested. I'm not sure if we need to toggle dispc state, having it set to SYSC_IDLE_SMART mode might be enough. And I think the clocks are already on for dispc from the top level dss module if any of the dss components are active.

I think we have omapdrm close to doing the right things. But trying to use PM runtime for system suspend is like using a Rube Goldberg machine to turn off the lights at night when you want to sleep :p > > I think we really should also change omap_drv use prepare/complete ops, > > and have the components use standard SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS.

That would leave out the need to use late_pm_ops at all for the driver, we should suspend a bit earlier, and resume a bit later. > Slightly off topic, but I just noticed that we're using runtime_put_sync for > some reason.

Worth trying, but it will only help if the -EBUSY error from pm_runtime_put() is handled somewhere for a retry..
