This patch landed in stable/linux-5.10.y as commit d5f13bbb5104 and it
broke suspend/resume on at least one TI AM335x board I'm testing on:
upstream dts: arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-icev2.dts, upstream defconfig:
arch/arm/configs/omap2plus_defconfig.

Bisecting between vanilla v5.10 (good) and stable/linux-5.10.y (bad)
pointed me to this patch, and I confirmed that reverting just this patch
on top of stable/linux-5.10.y makes it work again.

Also interesting, this same platform works fine on vanilla v5.15, which
also includes this patch.  That suggests that either 1) this patch
should not have been backported to v5.10 stable or 2) there are some
other dependencies that are missing in v5.10.

Since vanilla v5.10 works fine, I'm leaning towards (1), but if you have
any ideas for deps that need backporting, I'm happy to try.

I haven't debugged exactly where it's hanging yet, but, enabling
CONFIG_DEBUG_DRIVER=y, and suspending with "no_console_suspend" on the
command line, the last line before it hangs is:

   [   28.129966] simple-pm-bus ocp: noirq power domain suspend

Any ideas?

Kevin
