it is not even a legal value to have a power state higher than ON. I
mean, yeah, we can do
if (new_pwrst > PWRDM_POWER_ON) {
         pr_debug("powerdomain: %s: fix my powerdomain max to ON\n",
pwrdm->name);
         return PWRDM_POWER_ON;
}

if that is your suggestion here, personally, I would use a WARN at least here..
