Adam,

That's for the patches!

I tested just this series on top of v5.16-rc3 on an
imx8mm-venice-gw73xx-0x and found that if I loop fluster I can end up
getting a hang within 10 to 15 mins or so when imx8m_blk_ctrl_power_on
is called for VPUMIX pd :
while [ 1 ]; do uptime; ./fluster.py run -d GStreamer-VP8-V4L2SL-Gst1.0; done
...
[  618.838436] imx-pgc imx-pgc-domain.6: failed to command PGC
[  618.844407] imx8m-blk-ctrl 38330000.blk-ctrl: failed to power up bus domain

I added prints in imx_pgc_power_{up,down} and
imx8m_blk_ctrl_power_{on,off} to get some more context
...
Ran 55/61 tests successfully               in 8.685 secs

While this wouldn't be an issue with this series it does indicate we
still have something racy in blk-ctrl. Can you reproduce this (and if
not what kernel are you based on)? Perhaps you or Lucas have some
ideas?

Best regards,

Tim
