vfe_pm_domain_off() shall not be called before vfe_pm_domain_on() call.

If vfe_pm_domain_on() is called and returns failure, then a media pipeline
shall not be started, and vfe_pm_domain_off() shall not be called.

If vfe_pm_domain_on() is called and returns success, then vfe->genpd_link
is not NULL.

Are there any perceptable flaws within the given above reasoning?

Since you've encountered a bug and taking the reasoning from above as
correct, I believe the bug is present somewhere else, and if so, it will
remain unfixed by this change.
