Ideally, if we are returning a reference to a PM domain via a call to of_genpd_get_from_provider(), then we should keep track of such references via a reference count. The reference count could then be used to determine if a PM domain can be safely removed. Alternatively, it is possible to avoid such external references by providing APIs to access the PM domain and hence, eliminate any calls to of_genpd_get_from_provider(). Add new helper functions for adding a device and a subdomain to a PM domain when using device-tree, so that external calls to of_genpd_get_from_provider() can be removed.
While we are at it, does it make sense to add helpers for of_genpd_remove_device/subdomain() as well? Seems that these could be useful for doing the inverse when cleaning up. Cheers Jon -- nvpublic
