Moving forward, platforms are going to need to execute specific "last-man"
operations before a domain idle state can be entered. In one way or the
other, these operations needs to be triggered while walking the
hierarchical topology via runtime PM and genpd, as it's at that point the
last-man becomes known.

Moreover, executing last-man operations needs to be done after the CPU PM
notifications are sent through cpu_pm_enter(), as otherwise it's likely
that some notifications would fail. Therefore, let's re-order the sequence
in psci_enter_domain_idle_state(), so cpu_pm_enter() gets called prior
pm_runtime_put_sync().

I can pick this up provided an ACK from a maintainer of this driver.

I need to dig the thread details, but I remember commenting on one of
the similar discussion. It was something to do with voting which wasn't
necessary at all. I am interested in the details here.

More details on why notifications fail ?

This change is ignoring the retention case psci_enter_state handles and
this may affect performance by doing unnecessary save/restore.

Ah OK.

Please don't use cpu_cluster_pm_enter. I thought the whole idea of genpd
will remove the notion of cluster and we will never need to use
cpu_cluster_pm_*

Ah so, it was just for use of cpu_cluster_pm_* which I would like to
avoid. That was one of the motivation for using genpd I thought.

Good, you do think so.

Ah OK, I recall now, sorry for the noise.

Sometimes bots pick up patches for stable based on Fixes tag, hence I
thought of mentioning that.
