Hi Krzysztof,

The runtime Power Management of CPU topology is not compatible with
PREEMPT_RT:
1. Core cpuidle path disables IRQs.
2. Core cpuidle calls cpuidle-psci.
3. cpuidle-psci in __psci_enter_domain_idle_state() calls
pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() and pm_runtime_get_sync() which use
spinlocks (which are sleeping on PREEMPT_RT).
Deep sleep modes are not a priority of Realtime kernels because the
latencies might become unpredictable. On the other hand the PSCI CPU
idle power domain is a parent of other devices and power domain
controllers, thus it cannot be simply skipped (e.g. on Qualcomm SM8250).
Disable the idle callbacks in cpuidle-psci and mark the domain as
always on. This is a trade-off between making PREEMPT_RT working and
still having a proper power domain hierarchy in the system.
Wouldn't make sense to rely on the latency constraint framework ?

Changes since v3:
1. Rework - disable idle states, mark as always on (Ulf).
2. Extend Kconfig warning (Ulf).
Changes since v1:
1. Re-work commit msg.
2. Add note to Kconfig.
Several other patches were dropped, as this is the only one actually
needed. It effectively stops PSCI cpuidle power domains from suspending
thus solving all other issues I experienced.
