If it is firmware issue, I prefer we fix it in the firmware and no quirks or work around for this in the kernel while it is still fresh out of oven.

In other words, we need a add a new helper function in drivers/cpuidle/dt_idle_genpd.c, that we can call before calling psci_pd_remove() for this error path. > + > pr_info("Initialized CPU PM domain topology using %s mode\n", > use_osi ?

The spec quoted above only applies when switching from platform-coordinated mode to OS-initiated mode. For switching from OS-initiated to platform-coordinated, which is the case Maulik is referring to, section 5.20.2 of the spec specifies: "A switch from OS-initiated mode to platform-coordinated mode is only possible if all cores other than the calling one are OFF, either through a call to CPU_OFF or not yet booted." > > > > > > > Currently OSI mode is enabled before power domains are created.

The issue here is that the kernel prematurely enabled OSI mode based on the condition that OSI mode is supported by the firmware, and is unable to switch back to PC mode in the bail out path if hierarchical CPU topology isn't used because the other CPUs at this point are now online. > > > > > > Is CPUidle enabled before setting the OSI mode.
