All of the MediaTek SoCs supported by Panfrost can completely cut power to the GPU during full system sleep without any user-noticeable delay in the resume operation, as shown by measurements taken on multiple MediaTek SoCs (MT8183/86/92/95). As an example, for MT8195 - a "before" with only runtime PM operations (so, without turning on/off regulators), and an "after" executing both the system sleep .resume() handler and .runtime_resume() (so the time refers to T_Resume + T_Runtime_Resume): Average Panfrost-only system sleep resume time, before: ~33500ns Average Panfrost-only system sleep resume time, after: ~336200ns Keep in mind that this additional ~308200 nanoseconds delay happens only in resume from a full system suspend, and not in runtime PM operations, hence it is acceptable. Measurements were also taken on MT8186, showing a delay of ~312000 ns. Testing of this happened on all of the aforementioned MediaTek SoCs, but: MT8183 got tested only by KernelCI with <=10 suspend/resume cycles MT8186, MT8192, MT8195 were tested manually with over 100 suspend/resume cycles with GNOME DE (Mutter + Wayland).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
