We(rajendra and myself) discussed this some time back with Benoit and we agreed
that for CPU and MPU power domains which are needed very early in the PM power
up sequence, we can do direct APIs..
These calls were in critical path and the PD API's proposed for context clear
and logic clear were use to iterate over all power domains.
It is only recently we got clear context etc some reasonable form
even though it still iterates over all hwmod etc which is really overhead.
Also you need to create 'pdev' etc for context-loss kind of APIs and
we all thought that that makes things un-ncessary complicated and
lengthy.

 I will have another look at the code with your recent power domain clean-ups
and see what all can be moved to generic APIs.
