As mentioned previously but not addressed [3], I believe your series
breaks things if there are zero ACTIVE TCSs and you're using the
immediate-flush solution.  Specifically any attempt to set something's
"active" state will clobber the sleep/wake.  I believe this is hard to
fix, especially if you want rpmh_write_async() to work properly and
need to be robust to the last man going down while rpmh_write_async()
is running but hasn't finished.  My suggestion was to consider it to
be an error at probe time for now.

Actually, though, I'd be super surprised if the "active == 0" case
works anyway.  Aside from subtle problems of not handling -EAGAIN (see
another previous message that you didn't respond to [2]), I think
you'll also get failures because you never enable interrupts in
RSC_DRV_IRQ_ENABLE for anything other than the ACTIVE_TCS.  Thus
you'll never get interrupts saying when your transactions on the
borrowed "wake" TCS finish.

Speaking of previous emails that you didn't respond to, I think you
still have these action items:

* Document that rpmh_write(active) and rpmh_write_async(active) also
updates wake state. [1]

* Change is_req_valid() to still return true if (sleep == wake), or
keep track of "active" and return true if (sleep != wake || wake !=
active). [1]

* Document that for batch a write to active doesn't update wake. [1]

Ick.  This is just confusing.  IMO better to set
'drv->client.flush_dirty = true' directly in probe with a comment
saying that it could be removed if we had OSI.

...and while you're at it, why not fire off a separate patch (not in
your series) adding the stub to 'include/linux/psci.h'.  Then when we
revisit this in a year it'll be there and it'll be super easy to set
the value properly.

Wouldn't hurt to have something like:

/*

 * people making in-flight changes at the same time.
 */
WARN_ON(ctrlr->active_clients > 1000)

As mentioned previously [2], I don't think it's valid to call
rpmh_flush() with interrupts disabled.  Specifically (as of your
previous patch) rpmh_flush now loops if rpmh_rsc_invalidate() returns
-EAGAIN.  I believe that the caller needs to enable interrupts for a
little bit before trying again.  If the caller doesn't need to enable
interrupts for a little bit before trying again then why was -EAGAIN
even returned?  tcs_invalidate() could have just looped itself and all
the code would be much simpler.

Unexpected return from void function.
