device_pm_check_callbacks(dev) grabs spin_lock_irq(&dev->power.lock);

But, one of the callers of dev_pm_domain_set() that you just added in
the previous patch "PM / Domains: add setter for dev.pm_domain" also
grabs this same spinlock:

--------------------

  dev->power.subsys_data->domain_data = &gpd_data->base;
- dev->pm_domain = &genpd->domain;
+ dev_pm_domain_set(dev, &genpd->domain);

  spin_unlock_irq(&dev->power.lock);
--------------------

At least on the board I am testing, this causes a deadlock on boot.
