Subject: PM / Domains: defer dev_pm_domain_set() until genpd->attach_dev succeeds if present

From: Sudeep Holla <[email protected]>

commit 975e83cfb8dc16e7a2fdc58188c77c0c605876c2 upstream.

If the genpd->attach_dev or genpd->power_on fails, genpd_dev_pm_attach may return -EPROBE_DEFER initially. However genpd_alloc_dev_data sets the PM domain for the device unconditionally.

When subsequent attempts are made to call genpd_dev_pm_attach, it may return -EEXISTS checking dev->pm_domain without re-attempting to call attach_dev or power_on.

platform_drv_probe then attempts to call drv->probe as the return value -EEXIST != -EPROBE_DEFER, which may end up in a situation where the device is accessed without it's power domain switched on.
