At this point in the kernel boot process, the device cannot be in a
pm_domain yet.

Adding devices to pm_domains is done later, so it can be overridden.

Sorry, the !dev->pm_domain check does deserve a comment explaining this.
If there are multiple clocks suitable for pm_runtime, the pm_clk_create(dev)
should be done only once.
Currently e.g. davinci registers 3 clocks with pm_clk ("fck",
"master", and "slave").
Omap has 2 ("fck" and "ick").
BTW, keystone doesn't seem to set pm_clk_notifier_block.con_ids. From a quick
look, this will crash with a NULL-pointer dereference in pm_clk_notify()? Or am
I missing something here?
