The only major feature left in the PM branch is DVFS (including
SmartReflex, voltage scaling etc.)

Mainline has support for everything else.  IOW, hitting full-chip
retention and full-chip OFF in idle and suspend should now be working in
mainline.  If not, please submit bugs/patches and I will get them merged
ASAP.

My $0.02...

I would recommend all but very brave souls stay away from the PM branch
for any sort of product.

The SmartReflex + voltage + DVFS layers are being completely re-designed
and rewritten, so the PM branch is going through lots of churn
currently.
