Subject: [PATCH] pmdomain: mediatek: fix race conditions with genpd

If the power domains are registered first with genpd and *after that*
the driver attempts to power them on in the probe sequence, then it is
possible that a race condition occurs if genpd tries to power them on
in the same time.
The same is valid for powering them off before unregistering them
from genpd.
Attempt to fix race conditions by first removing the domains from genpd
and *after that* powering down domains.
Also first power up the domains and *after that* register them
to genpd.

This comes as another way to fix the problem as described in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20231129113120.4907-1-eugen.hristev@collabora.com/

I have not been able to reproduce the problem with either fix anymore
(so far).

I have a few doubts about this one though, if I really covered the
way it's supposed to work, and registering the pmdomains in the recursive
function in the reversed order has any side effect or if it does not
work correctly.
Tested on mt8186 where it appears to be fine.

Eugen
