Thanks, Sudeep!

The 'cluster' in cpu_cluster_pm_enter() doesn't necessarily means
a physical CPU cluster.  I think the documentation of the function has a
better description.

 * Notifies listeners that all cpus in a power domain are entering a low power
 * state that may cause some blocks in the same power domain to reset.

So cpu_domain_pm_enter() might be a better name?  Anyways ...

Yes, I'm running a Qualcomm platform that has OSI supported in PSCI.

Thanks Marc for explain my problem!

Right, all I need is a notification in MPM irqchip driver when the CPU
domain/cluster is about to enter low power state.  As cpu_pm -
kernel/cpu_pm.c, already has helper cpu_cluster_pm_enter() sending
CPU_CLUSTER_PM_ENTER event, I just need to find a caller to this cpu_pm
helper.  

Is .power_off hook of generic_pm_domain a better place for calling the
helper?

Shawn
