Re: domain off

Hi Krzysztof,


Are you saying that only power domains under "Local Power Control" can
be attached to runtime PM and can be turned off?

In that case, i dont see other domains such as peris, psgen, wcore in
there, Hence these need to be always on?

is my understanding correct?


Thanks
