Hmm, I thought the HW mode was being set on a per device basis, via its PM domain. Did I get that wrong? Are you saying there could be multiple devices sharing the same PM domain and thus also sharing the same HW mode? In that case, it sure sounds like we have synchronization issues to deal with too.
