One comment below about the documentation of the new interface. WIth
that fixed, please add:

Sorry for nagging (same comment as for the previous version), but
could you please extend the above with the below text, as to make it
more clear:

"It's assumed that the users guarantee that the genpd wouldn't be
detached while this routine is getting called. Additionally, it's also
assumed that @dev isn't runtime suspended (RPM_SUSPENDED)."

With this, you don't need to mention the thing with the state of the
PM domain, as it can't be powered off when this function is called.
