I will take the liberty to put together a kind of a skeleton patch for
how we could make use of runtime PM for this kind of features that is
supposed to be executed in the background. You can then base your
patches on top of that, I think that could be a way forward.
In the meanwhile I will continue to follow up on your Idle BKOPS patches.
