Hi,

Here are some CPUidle/Suspend cleanup patches done by adding
some more functionality in the OMAP Powerdomain framework.
They mostly cleanup OMAP3 but the same ideas can be used/
applied for OMAP4 and beyond.

The series is based off Teros' series [1] to add usecounting
support within the OMAP Powerdomain framework.

The patches are tested with RET/OFF in CPUidle and Suspend
on 3630 beagle Xm and 3430 SDP.

This set looks good to me, just requires careful testing that you don't
break anything as you are moving lots of stuff around. For debugging
purposes (maybe also permanently?), it might be good to keep some sort
of failsafe mechanism in place that prevents actual core / per off
transitions in case there is a problem with the usecounting, and you
accidentally hit core / per off even though the usecounting doesn't
expect it (some autoidle mechanism is overlooked for example.)

Maybe add some caching for the programmed next state, and only program
the HW register once we get to the callbacks, and restore the next state
to ON after leaving...? This should get rid of any unexpected hangs.ly

Thats exactly what I have been thinking too. The caching is turning out
to be a little tricky though. But something like that would certainly be
needed, and should also get rid of unwanted (multiple) target state
programming.
