PM / Domains: Avoid infinite loops in attach/detach code
If pm_genpd_{add,remove}_device() keeps on failing with -EAGAIN, we end up with an infinite loop in genpd_dev_pm_{at,de}tach(). This may happen due to a genpd.prepared_count imbalance. This is a bug elsewhere, but it will result in a system lock up, possibly during reboot of an otherwise functioning system. To avoid this, put a limit on the maximum number of loop iterations, using an exponential back-off mechanism. If the limit is reached, the operation will just fail. An error message is already printed. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
