I'm giving my thoughts in the cover letter instead of spreading it
around all the patches so that there's context between the comments.

1) Why can't all the logic in this patch series be implemented at the
framework level? And then allow the drivers to opt into this behavior
by setting the sync_state() callback.

That way, you can land it only for QC drivers by setting up
sync_state() callback only for QC drivers, but actually have the same
code function correctly for non-QC drivers too. And then once we have
this functionality working properly for QC drivers for one kernel
version (or two), we'll just have the framework set the device's
driver's sync_state() if it doesn't have one already.

2) sync_state() is not just about power on/off. It's also about the
power domain level. Can you handle that too please?

3) In your GDSC drivers, it's not clear to me if you are preventing
power off until sync_state() only for GDSCs that were already on at
boot. So if an off-at-boot GDSC gets turned on, and then you attempt
to turn it off before all its consumers have probed, it'll fail to
power it off even though that wasn't necessary?

4) The returning -EBUSY when a power off is attempted seems to be
quite wasteful. The framework will go through the whole sequence of
trying to power down, send the notifications and then fail and then
send the undo notifications. Combined with point (2) I think this can
be handled better at the aggregation level in the framework to avoid
even going that far into the power off sequence.
