So you are saying that you have power dependencies independent
of the device tree?

Why can't you do this within the framework? You simply suspend when
all a domain's devices have been autosuspended.
I suppose we could have a helper.

int pm_autosuspend_in_domain(struct device *dev)
{
int err;

mutex_lock(dev->power_domain);
if (! --dev->power_domain.active_devices)
err = dev->power_domain->power_down(dev->power_domain);
else
err = 0;
mutex_unlock(dev->power_domain);

return err;
}

Regards
Oliver
