'power collapse' is a qcom-ism. Maybe say something like "deep CPU idle
states"?

Can you provide an example of a HW solver mode controller? Presumably
the display RSC is one of these?

Can drv be const? Would be nice to make it const in some places in this
driver.

not busy, because we use wake TCSes for active requests in this case.

Might be good to stick a lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() in this function
then. That would document that this function should only be called when
irqs are disabled.

This function name keeps throwing me off. Can we please call it
something like rpmh_configure_tcs_sleep_wake()? The word "flush" seems
to imply there's some sort of cache going on, but that's not really the
case. We're programming a couple TCS FIFOs so that they can be used
across deep CPU sleep states.
