Okay. I noticed that in tegra_genpd_power_on(). And the same clocks
are enabled/disabled also in tegra_genpd_power_off(), when powering
off the PM domain.

So I guess the problem kind of exists for tegra_genpd_power_off() too?

This sounds complicated and I still don't quite follow all of it, sorry.

So, tegra_genpd_power_on() gets called from genpd_resume_noirq(), when
the first device of the attached devices to genpd gets resumed. And
vice versa for tegra_genpd_power_off() and genpd_suspend_noirq().

Are you saying that trying to enable/disable clocks from
tegra_genpd_power_on|off() in these paths doesn't work, because it
would also require the performance state to be changed, which would
fail because the I2C bus/driver is suspended?

So the low level code is gating and ungating the clock behind the back
of the clock driver then? Why is that done like that, more exactly?

Right, so the PM domain managed in tegra_genpd_power_on|off() can
still be powered on/off, as long as the clock remains ungated?

Kind regards
