Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that with what I'm proposing
there wouldn't be any slow path.

a) For IRQ context, the master is already powered on and so the SMMU
is also powered on, through respective device link.
pm_runtime_get_sync() would ultimately just increment the runtime PM
usage count.

b) For a case when the master is already powered off (which wouldn't
be IRQ context, for the reason stated in a)), powering on the SMMU is
unavoidable, if the SMMU hardware really needs to be accessed (i.e.
some TLBs need to be invalidated, if their state is preserved despite
master being powered down).

I read through all the links in the cover letter and I could see other
attempts not working out indeed, but they were different from what I'm
proposing.

There was also a point raised that __pm_runtime_resume() called from
pm_runtime_get_sync() would grab dev->power_lock spinlock, which is
true, except that if the device is already active, it would do it only
for the time of checking device state, so I doubt it would really be a
significant point of contention.
