Indeed. On sc7180 it's not the first non-zero corner. I suppose
retention for CX isn't actually used when the SoC is awake so your
rpmhpd patch is putting in a vote for something that doesn't do anything
at runtime for CX? I imagine that rpmh only sets the aggregate corner to
retention when the whole SoC is suspended/sleeping, otherwise things
wouldn't go very well. Similarly, min_svs may be VDD minimization? If
so, those first two states are basically states that shouldn't be used
at runtime, almost like sleep states.
