[PATCH] drm/imagination: retry runtime idle when firmware is not yet idle

From: Baihui Liang

Date: Thu Oct 29 2026 - 04:39:48 EST


Returning -EBUSY from ->runtime_idle() prevents the PM core from
retrying the idle check. Schedule an autosuspend so the idle state
can be re-evaluated once the firmware reaches ROGUE_FWIF_POW_IDLE.

Tested on SpacemiT K3 (PowerVR Rogue BXM-4-64) by running vulkaninfo
repeatedly. Without this change the device intermittently stayed
runtime-active after the last user went away, because the firmware had
not yet reached ROGUE_FWIF_POW_IDLE when the idle check ran. With the
change the device reliably suspends.
