Currently, scmi_pd_power() explicitly verifies whether the requested power state was applied by calling state_get(). While this check could detect failures where the state was not properly updated, ensuring correctness is the responsibility of the SCMI firmware. Removing this redundant state_get() call eliminates an unnecessary round-trip to the firmware, improving efficiency. Any mismatches between the requested and actual states should be handled by the SCMI firmware, which must return a failure if state_set() is unsuccessful. Additionally, in some cases, checking the state after powering off a domain may be unreliable or unsafe, depending on the firmware implementation. This patch removes the redundant verification, simplifying the function without compromising correctness.
