On RK3399 platforms, power domains are managed mostly by the kernel
(drivers/soc/rockchip/pm_domains.c), but there are a few exceptions
where ARM Trusted Firmware has to be involved:
(1) system suspend/resume
(2) DRAM DVFS (a.k.a., "ddrfreq")
Exception (1) does not cause much conflict, since the kernel has
quiesced itself by the time we make the relevant PSCI call.
Exception (2) can cause conflict, because of two actions:
(a) ARM Trusted Firmware needs to read/modify/write the PMU_BUS_IDLE_REQ
register to idle the memory controller domain; the kernel driver
also has to touch this register for other domains.
(b) ARM Trusted Firmware needs to manage the clocks associated with
these domains.
To elaborate on (b): idling a power domain has always required ungating
an array of clocks; see this old explanation from Rockchip:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/54503C19.9060607@rock-chips.com/
Historically, ARM Trusted Firmware has avoided this issue by using a
special PMU_CRU_GATEDIS_CON0 register -- this register ungates all the
necessary clocks -- when idling the memory controller. Unfortunately,
we've found that this register is not 100% sufficient; it does not turn
the relevant PLLs on [0].
So it's possible to trigger issues with something like the following:
1. enable a power domain (e.g., RK3399_PD_VDU) -- kernel will
temporarily enable relevant clocks/PLLs, then turn them back off
2. a PLL (e.g., PLL_NPLL) is part of the clock tree for
RK3399_PD_VDU's clocks but otherwise unused; NPLL is disabled
3. perform a ddrfreq transition (rk3399_dmcfreq_target() -> ...
drivers/clk/rockchip/clk-ddr.c / ROCKCHIP_SIP_DRAM_FREQ)
4. ARM Trusted Firmware unagates VDU clocks (via PMU_CRU_GATEDIS_CON0)
5. ARM Trusted firmware idles the memory controller domain
6. Step 5 waits on the VDU domain/clocks, but NPLL is still off
i.e., we hang the system.
So for (b), we need to at a minimum manage the relevant PLLs on behalf
of firmware. It's easier to simply manage the whole clock tree, in a
similar way we do in rockchip_pd_power().
For (a), we need to provide mutual exclusion betwen rockchip_pd_power()
and firmware. To resolve that, we simply grab the PMU mutex and release
it when ddrfreq is done.
The Chromium OS kernel has been carrying versions of part of this hack
for a while, based on some new custom notifiers [1]. I've rewritten as a
simple function call between the drivers, which is OK because:
* the PMU driver isn't enabled, and we don't have this problem at all
(the firmware should have left us in an OK state, and there are no
runtime conflicts); or
* the PMU driver is present, and is a single instance.
And the power-domain driver cannot be removed, so there's no lifetime
management to worry about.
For completeness, there's a 'dmc_pmu_mutex' to guard (likely
theoretical?) probe()-time races. It's OK for the memory controller
driver to start running before the PMU, because the PMU will avoid any
critical actions during the block() sequence.
[0] The RK3399 TRM for PMU_CRU_GATEDIS_CON0 only talks about ungating
clocks. Based on experimentation, we've found that it does not power
up the necessary PLLs.

Notably, the Chromium solution only handled conflict (a), not (b).
In practice, item (b) wasn't a problem in many cases because we
never managed to fully power off PLLs. Now that the (upstream) video
decoder driver performs runtime clock management, we often power off
NPLL.
