Ok, ill do that insted.

yes! this slipped by when i re-based to next, i should have
paid more attention. ill remove it.

The *name is allocated and used only when CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG
is enabled, its used to print the status on debugfs, when genpd_summary is read.

for example:

#cat /d/pm_genpd/summary
domain                          status          slaves
    /device                                             runtime status
----------------------------------------------------------------------
b3                              OFF
b2                              OFF
b1                              OFF              b2, b3
a3                              OFF
    /devices/platform/D2                                suspended
a4                              RET
    /devices/platform/D1                                suspended
a2                              RET              a4
a1                              RET              a2, a3
cpg_clocks                      on
