Ah. right we only have one parent per device. Ok, setting a power
domain as a device's parent is not going to work for some devices.

However, I have some other questions.

1. pm_genpd_runtime_suspend and pm_genpd_runtime_resume are opened to
outside (not static and "extern"ed). Are devices supposed to call
pm_genpd_runtime_* directly? Shouldn't they be hidden so that devices
are forced to turn on/off power domains with runtime_pm framework
only? Is there any reason to expose them?

2.  If we can assure that related clocks are not turned on when a
power domain is shutting down, it'd be nice.
I guess it would be sufficient to let it "WARN" at
gov->power_down_ok(). Is it the intention of governor?

Thank you! I also think this is going to help us a lot, too :)
