Changes in v3:
	- Added a couple of patches to adress problems on some Renesas
	platforms. Thanks Geert and Tomi for helping out!
	- Adressed a few comments from Saravanna and Konrad.
	- Added some tested-by tags.

Changes in v2:
	- Well, quite a lot as I discovered various problems when doing
	additional testing of corner-case. I suggest re-review from scratch,
	even if I decided to keep some reviewed-by tags.
	- Added patches to allow some drivers that needs to align or opt-out
	from the new common behaviour in genpd.

If a PM domain (genpd) is powered-on during boot, there is probably a good
reason for it. Therefore it's known to be a bad idea to allow such genpd to be
powered-off before all of its consumer devices have been probed. This series
intends to fix this problem.

We have been discussing these issues at LKML and at various Linux-conferences
in the past. I have therefore tried to include the people I can recall being
involved, but I may have forgotten some (my apologies), feel free to loop them
in.

I have tested this with QEMU with a bunch of local test-drivers and 
DT nodes.
Let me know if you want me to share this code too.

Please help review and test!
During testing on a TI platform, I observed new kernel warnings after 
applying this patch series:

ti_sci_pm_domains 44043000.system-controller:power-controller: 
sync_state() pending due to fd00000.gpu

These warnings occur when a device (in this case, the GPU) has no driver 
bound to it. The fw_devlink_dev_sync_state[0] in the core has a check 
before printing this warning. It checks whether the device driver has a 
sync_state handler OR the device bus has a sync_state handler in the 
dev_has_sync_state[1]. If both conditions are false, 
fw_devlink_dev_sync_state[0] performs an early return before printing 
the warning.

Before this patch series, both handlers were absent for device driver 
ti_sci_pm_domains and the device bus, so both conditions failed and no 
warnings were printed.

This patch series adds a sync_state handler for the bus, which now 
satisfies the second condition. So it doesn't do an early return and 
proceeds to print the warning.

Finally, a big thanks to Saravana for all the support!

Kind regards
