Right, I do agree, don't get me wrong. But, do we really want to treat
s2-to-idle differently, compared to s2-to-ram in regards to this?

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to let cpuidle drivers to opt-out for
cpuidle_pause|resume(), no matter whether it's for s2-to-idle or
s2-to-ram?

It's one specific case so far, but we have the riscv driver on its
way, which would suffer from the same problem.

Anyway, an option is to figure out what platforms and cpuidle drivers,
that really needs cpuidle_pause|resume() at this point and make an
opt-in solution instead. This could then be used by runtime PM based
cpuidle drivers as well. Would that be a way forward?

Kind regards
