Thank you for adding support for S4 power domains.

We should avoid the GENPD_FLAG_ALWAYS_ON unless strictly necessary.  If
you look at a1_pwrc_domains[] in this same driver, any use of this flag
has a comment for why it's needed, and it's usually because the domain
is used by low-level SoC/PM code not controlled by linux.

All of these appear to be domains that linux should have driver control,
so should not be set to always on.
