So, The Keystone 2 Generic PM Controller is just a proxy PM layer here between
device and Generic clock manipulation PM callbacks.
It fills per-device clock list when device is attached to GPD and
ensures that all clocks from that list enabled/disabled when device is
started/stopped.

The idea of such a generic power domain implementation sounds useful, but
it has absolutely no business in platform specific code.

Yes it does.  This isn't a generic power domain implementation, but
rather just the platform-specific glue that hooks up the clocks to the
right devices and power-domains so that the generic power-domain and
generic pm_clocks code does the right thing.

How would you do this on an arm64 version of keystone then? With
the current approach, you'd need to add a machine specific directory,
and that seems completely pointless since this is not even about
a hardware requirement.

The Keystone PM domain code actually doesn't have to be under machine
code. Infact my first patch I added that under drivers/bus/ and later
based on Kevin's suggestion moved under machine. That time the Keystone
64 bit arch point I couldn't bring up for other reasons.

But the code itself can be easily moved to drivers/power/ without
any issue if thats what is the concern here.
