Hi Sudeep,
Thanks for the review.

It's not a redundant question, no.
I²C drivers on OF are responsible for controlling device's power state
already (using runtime PM or without) so I think the drivers could use the
property directly on OF systems (and document the property in DT bindings
first) if there's a need to. IOW this code isn't needed on OF.
Note that the power_on or power_off arguments are not used by
genpd_dev_pm_attach() or genpd_dev_pm_detach() so this patch only affects
ACPI. I think I should check the device is an ACPI device above, for
clarity.
Cc also DT list. The entire set is here:
