You don't need to power on additional power domains if you want to load modules
from a ramdisk! :-)

Besides, you caught me: mtk-pm-domains will be my next target after clocks...
I don't like how it behaves in regard to probe deferrals. Specifically,
I dislike the fact that you either register *all domains* or *none at all*
(unless instantiating two different driver instances and that's ugly).
