That MT8192 lockup story is getting crazy in my head... anyway, besides that,
I get the point - I was somehow ignoring the fact that kernel modules do exist.

Eh, sorry about that :-)

I admit I should've worded that better.

"should we make clock controllers depend on power domains" was actually implying
"IF those need one" :-)

I really wonder if - at this point - it's simply a better idea to not restrict
the call to devm_pm_runtime_enable/resume_and_get to `need_runtime_pm == true`.

Do we really need to exclude that on other clock controllers that don't have
any power domain dependency? Any side effect?

Saying this because if we can avoid yet another per-SoC flag I'm really happy,
as readability is also impacted and besides - if we ever find out that one of
those need a power domain in the future, we'll need just one commit and just
only in the devicetree, instead of enabling a flag in driver X as well as that,
avoiding some (potentially unnecessary) noise... I guess.

P.S.: I just noticed that the return value for the devm_pm_runtime_enable() call
       is not being checked!

......

In short....

Chen-Yu, at this point, do you have any reason why we wouldn't be able and/or it
wouldn't be a good idea to just avoid adding the `need_runtime_pm` flag (meaning
that we perform pm_runtime calls for all clock drivers unconditionally)?

If this is about longer boot time, I don't think that it's going to be more than
a millisecond or two, so that should be completely ignorable.

Can you please do a test for that, or should I?

Cheers
Angelo
