True. So currently we have
- a deadlock
- disabled runtime power management
We need to fix the deadlock. We can fix it retaining a disabled
runtime power management. Or we can fix it fixing the runtime
power management at the same time. However this opens
the door to regressions. So for now I really suggest removing
it from the driver and reintroduce it properly for the next merge
window.
