Hi Ulf,

thank you for the comments.

Yes, I'll change this.

The devices in the PU power domain are Vivante GPUs and the CODA Video
Processing Unit. These are platform devices that don't need to be active
to enumerate before being probed. The drivers support runtime PM, so if
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is enabled, it is safe to disable the PU power domain
on boot. The drivers will probe and request for the power domain to be
enabled via runtime PM before accessing the hardware.

If CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is disabled, the power domain needs to stay enabled
at all times.

The GPU and VPU drivers are standard module_platform_drivers, those will
be probed later at device_initcall times.
