No it doesn't. See below.

Yes. Feel free to have a look in __psci_enter_domain_idle_state().

In principle, when running the s2idle path, we call
dev_pm_genpd_suspend|resume(), rather than pm_runtime_get|put*.

This let genpd manage the reference counting (hierarchically too) and
it also ignores the genpd governor in this stage, which also is needed
to enter the deepest state. Quite similar to how cpuidle works.
