Currently, the GPU is being internally powered off for runtime suspend
and turned back on for runtime resume through commands sent to it, but
note that the GPU doesn't need to be clocked during the poweroff state,
hence it is possible to save some power on selected platforms.

Add suspend and resume handlers for full system sleep and then add
a new panfrost_gpu_pm enumeration and a pm_features variable in the
panfrost_compatible structure: BIT(GPU_PM_CLK_DIS) will be used to
enable this power saving technique only on SoCs that are able to
safely use it.

Note that this was implemented only for the system sleep case and not
for runtime PM because testing on one of my MediaTek platforms showed
issues when turning on and off clocks aggressively (in PM runtime)
resulting in a full system lockup.

Doing this only for full system sleep never showed issues during my
testing by suspending and resuming the system continuously for more
than 100 cycles.

Note: Even after fixing the panfrost_power_off() function, I'm still
getting issues with turning off the clocks at .runtime_suspend() but
this time, instead of getting a GPU lockup, the entire SoC will deadlock
bringing down the entire system with it (so it's even worst!) :-)

IIRC the power domain controller also manages some bus isolation bits
that prevent SoC lockup when the clock is disabled. Would reversing
the runtime PM calls and the clock calls help?


Thanks for the reminder, but I tested that already... that doesn't work.

There's one more thing I tried: on the MFG iospace, there are debug registers
that you can poll to check if all bus transactions are finished (so, if the bus
is idle).
During local testing, I even hacked in that, and even with the actual bus being
completely idle, it still freezes... and also checked some more in downstream
code (for Dimensity 9200, kernel 5.10) if there was any other "trick" that I
could make use of, but to no avail.

I'd propose to get at least this power saving upstreamed, then perhaps in the
future we can somehow revisit this to implement some more aggressive power
management code?
We're still getting a generous power saving with this one, I'd say...

Anyway, I expect us to be effectively able to be more aggressive here, but I
also expect that to take quite a bit of time (and probably some help from
MediaTek as well)...
