To remove a PM domain from the system, it is necessary to ensure
that any PM domain providers associated with the PM domain have
been removed. Otherwise it could be possible to obtain a pointer
to a PM domain structure that has been removed.

PM domains now have a reference to the pointer for the PM domain
provider's data variable. Add a function so that a PM domain can
remove a PM domain provider by referencing the data pointer.

There's currently only one user of of_genpd_del_provider().

Could this patch just convert that user to the new API, so we don't
need to keep both the legacy and new one?

I guess we could then just stick to the name "of_genpd_del_provider()".
I had a look at this and to do that we would end up with
of_genpd_del_provider(struct device_node *np, void *data) where the user
should only pass one of the arguments. It seems a bit odd. However,
unless I have forgotten something, I wonder if we should just make
of_genpd_del_provider_by_name() a local function and not export this at
all? It seems more natural for users to delete a provider by the
device_node than by name rather than the data argument.

The only problem I see with making of_genpd_del_provider_by_name() local
is that I need to add a prototype for the function at the top of the
domain.c source file so that it builds because __pm_genpd_remove() is
defined above it. Yes I could move __pm_genpd_remove() to the bottom of
the file but then it is not located next to pm_genpd_init() which seems odd.

Let me know what you think.
Sorry for delay! I have now looked into this in more detail.
No problem. Thanks!
When an genpd provider is added today, it's supposed to get a
corresponding *unique* OF device node associated with it, right!?

If we store this OF device node from the provider in the struct
generic_pm_domain, instead of the "provider_data pointer", we wouldn't
need to the add of_genpd_del_provider_by_data() at all. Because we can
use the currently available of_genpd_del_provider(), right!?

Or what am I missing? :-)
No that would work as well. I guess I was trying to make it non-DT
specific. However, for now it can be to simplify matters and it could
always be extended later if necessary.

I am also thinking about making pm_genpd_remove_tail()
of_genpd_remove_tail() as it seems silly to have both a struct device
pointer and a struct device_node pointer stored for the provider.

Cheers
Jon
