Damn.  Reading ACPI spec (6.1 and 6.2), it talks about _LPI and _RDI
but E200HA doesn't have that in any ACPI table.
The table in section 7.1 Power Resource Objects and the Power Management Models
says "Choose a supported device state to enable a targeted system sleep or
Low- power Idle state ... [use] _PRx".

d31fd43c0f9a4 was added to fix a "hard hangup on boot" issue,
so I guess the default should be to keep clocks enabled.

BTW, in E200HA DSDT, the PowerResources in question are children of
the I2Cx devices, presumably it means these clocks are to be used by
devices connected to the i2c busses.  Maybe it's a left over from devices
that are not present in E200HA, and we should ignore them.

In conclusion the BIOS bug is that it enables these clocks at boot,
and the correct quirk is to make clk-pmc-atom.c disable them during init,
but leave the _PRx handling for the used clocks (CLK3) to ACPI.

Right?


Thanks,
Johannes
