I'm surprised that this power state is not defined in downstream node qcom,pm-cluster@0
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.9/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sdm845-pm.dtsi?h=msm-4.9
Also note that Ulf and Lina's cluster idling patch series:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-msm/list/?series=117055
hasn't been merged yet.
Is it really safe to add a cluster power state without this series?
If the firmware fails to enter this cluster power state, won't the
cpuidle governor continue to try to enter this power state?
Thus basically disabling cpuidle, since the governor will never try
to enter the per cpu power states?
It would be interesting with statistics of how many times we've tried
to enter this power state, together with how many times entering this
power state has failed. If this percentage is very high, then we probably
need the cluster idling patch series before enabling this power state.
