I think given that DMC is strongly recommended there shouldn't be a real

I don't know, not liking it on the first go. But then again I have no
idea how much power would that waste for use cases where DMC fw is
deliberately not present.

Perhaps it would be acceptable to mark GT busy during the async CSR
load. Chris, any thoughts?

It's tightly coupled to requests, adding in an external call seems
troublesome.

What's the reason for depending on the CSR being loaded? The old fw is
broke no matter what, it doesn't get any more broken by us holding a
powerwell wakeref. I think we should go for simplicity and always take
the powerwell along with the rpm?

It's the unknown, maybe only for me, on how much power always holding the power well would waste for use cases where DMC firmware has been deliberately removed.

If I understand correctly that the Daniel's and your proposal is to just got with HAS_CSR as the wa/ criteria, instead of fw loaded check.

Regards,

Tvrtko
