I have given this series a go with Tegra updating the XHCI driver to make
use of these new APIs. Good news it does appear to work fine for Tegra,
however, initially when looking at the device_link_add() API ...

/**
 * device_link_add - Create a link between two devices.
 * @consumer: Consumer end of the link.
 * @supplier: Supplier end of the link.
 * @flags: Link flags.

 ... I had assumed that the 'consumer' device would be the actual XHCI 
device (in the case of Tegra) and the 'supplier' device would be the new
genpd device. However, this did not work and I got the following WARN on
boot ...

[    2.050929] ---[ end trace eff0b5265e530c92 ]---

Switching the Tegra XHCI device to be the 'supplier' and genpd device to
be the 'consumer' does work, but is this correct? Seems to be opposite to
what I expected. Maybe I am missing something?

Nit ... I still don't think this is the device we are attaching to, but the
device the PM domains are associated with. IOW we are using this device to
lookup the PM domains.

My only other comments on this series are ...

1. I think it would be nice to have an dev_pm_domain_attach_by_name() and 
   that the DT binding has a 'power-domain-names' property.
2. I am wondering if there could be value in having a
   dev_pm_domain_attach_link_all() helper which would attach and link all
   PM domains at once. 

Cheers
Jon
