This will work if the sole control of the resources lies in these platform_*()
APIs. But in reality, the controller drivers are the ones controlling the power
supply to the devices  and with this series, the control would be shifted partly
to pwrctl driver.

I think what we need is to call in the callbacks of the drivers in a hierarchial
order.
