Subject: Re: [PATCH 00/12] coresight: Add CPU cluster funnel/replicator/tmc support

Hi,

This entire set seems to initially check the generic power domain for
a list of associated CPUs, then check CPU state for all other
operations.

Why not simply use the generic power domain state itself, along with
the power up / down notifiers to determine if the registers are safe
to access? If the genpd is powered up then the registers must be safe
to access?

Regards

Mike
