I guess I don't really understand your description, but it does sound
strange ... runtime pm enabling from my patch is only about D3, power
well changes are still done. And as long as we have anything enabled
(even with PSR) we'll prevent D3.

So the only thing I can think of is that somehow D3 wreaks something
in the PSR setup and that's causing issues. Unfortunately I have no
idea about our hw details around PSR and D3, so no idea. Maybe Art has
some?

Need to adjust the comment.
