Originally this fix was needed when I changed cedrus_hw_probe() to do the rpm-resume while was debugging the hang issue and then also noticed that the !PM should be broken. It's a good common practice for all drivers to have the drv data set early to avoid such problems, hence it won't hurt to make this change anyways. In practice nobody disables PM other than for debugging purposes and !PM handling is often broken in drivers. I assume that it might be even better to enable PM for all Allwiner SoCs and remove !PM handling from all the affected drivers, like it was done for Tegra some time ago. -- Best regards, Dmitry
