Imre convinced me yesterday on irc that this should work.

Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@xxxxxxxxx>

On the surface, this reduces the need to enable/disable the aux power so
much. It's unnecessary, so it stands to reason to optimize it. We should
only grab the domain references we actually need.

However, this *also* papers over an issue we've been seeing [1]. We need
to be aware the root cause for that remains unknown, and needs to be
figured out.

I presume simply doing aux transfers won't reproduce the problem,
because that disables the power asynchronously since commit f39194a7a8b9
("drm/i915: Disable power asynchronously during DP AUX
transfers"). Perhaps we wouldn't have seen this at all if pps_unlock()
also did that as suggested in the commit message.

Anyway, I'd like to get acks or rb's from Imre and Ville before merging
this.


BR,
Jani.
