Thanks for providing this information!

I was about to tell that I overlooked the fact that there is more than
one way to assign PM domain pointers to devices. To fix the problem,
dev_pm_domain_attach() should return 0, not -EEXIST when it finds and
existing PM domain pointer.

Does the below patch fix the problem?

Subject: [PATCH] PM / Domains: Don't return -EEXIST at attach when PM domain
 exists

As dev_pm_domain_attach() isn't the only way to assign PM domain pointers
to devices, clearly we must allow a device to have the pointer already
being assigned. For this reason, return 0 instead of -EEXIST.
