As we're using multi power domains in Devicetree, attach_dev() needs to
know which power domain the device is going to attach.
e.g.
sdhc1: mmc@5b010000 {
compatible = "fsl,imx8qxp-usdhc", "fsl,imx7d-usdhc";
power-domains = <&pd IMX_SC_R_SDHC_0>, <&pd IMX_SC_R_SDHC_1>; // for test only
...
};
Then attach_dev() can parse the correct "resource id" (e.g. IMX_SC_R_SDHC_1) from device tree
And store it in per-device struct generic_pm_domain_data for later start()/stop() using.

AFAICT no.
With the only device and the genpd as in-parameters, the ->attach_dev() don't know
which power domain to to parse from device tree.
Thus no way to store it in genpd struct.

TI actually does not use multi PM domains. So they can always parse
the first power domains to get the correct "resource id" / power id..

wdt: wdt@02250000 {
compatible = "ti,keystone-wdt", "ti,davinci-wdt";
power-domains = <&k2g_pds 0x22>;
};

static int ti_sci_pd_attach_dev(struct generic_pm_domain *domain,
struct device *dev)
{
...
// the index is always 0
ret = of_parse_phandle_with_args(np, "power-domains",
"#power-domain-cells", 0, &pd_args);
idx = pd_args.args[0];
...
}

I'm afraid no.
Per our earlier discussion, we're going to use a single global power domain
(Tegra is not) and implement the ->attach|detach_dev() callback for the genpd
and use the regular of_genpd_add_provider_simple().

From within the ->attach_dev(), we could get the OF node for the device that is
being attached and then parse the power-domain cell containing the "resource id"
and store that in the per device struct generic_pm_domain_data (we have void pointer
there for storing these kind of things).

Additionally, we need implement the ->stop() and ->start() callbacks of genpd,
which is where we "power on/off" devices, rather than using the
->power_on|off() callbacks.

Now the problem is current attach_dev() has no idea to parse the correct power domain
containing the "resource id".
That's why I stored it in per-device struct generic_pm_domain_data before calling
attach_dev() in this patch implementation.

Any ideas?
