If I understand GPD code right :)
There is "small" problem :( Now if PM domain is OFF before suspend
- it's prohibited to turn it on during suspending/resuming.
   commit 596ba34bcd2978ee9823cc1d84df230576f8ffb9
   PM / Domains: System-wide transitions support for generic domains (v5)

But, it is possible to have devices which supports few power states, like:
on, sleep/low power, off (for example OMAP devices and also I saw this
for some I2C devices - can recollect only that it was some sensor and touchscreen). 
In normal operational mode Runtime PM switches device between on and sleep/low power states,
but during suspend device need to be woken up and reconfigured to off state.

Also I found, that It looks like due to continuous refactoring the call of
pm_generic_suspend_noirq(dev) was finally dropped from pm_genpd_suspend_noirq(),
so .suspend_noirq() callback will never be called for devices from GPD.

Seems, that is the problem which this patch tries to fix and looks like there are
 will be more such kind of report as GPD is become used widely.
