Thanks Bjorn for your review.

Sure will update the commit text to be more precise in next series.

Below is the consumer's sequence that switch the GDSC's b/w HW & SW modes:-
1) Enable the GDSC in SW mode
2) Enable required clocks
3) Switch the GDSC to HW mode using dev_pm_genpd_set_hwmode(true)
4) Usecase start
5) Usecase end
6) Switch the GDSC back to SW mode using dev_pm_genpd_set_hwmode(false)
7) Disable clocks
8) Disable GDSC

Hence the new API dev_pm_genpd_set_hwmode() will always be called 
between gdsc_enable() and gdsc_disable(), which ensures GDSC's parent 
power domain/regulator is ON when this callback is being called. Also, 
we can remove the above regulator_is_enabled() check as well.

Sure, I will improvise the comment in next series.

Yes, above SW_COLLAPSE_MASK check is also not required and will remove 
it in next series.

Sure, will update this in the next series.
