Additionally (on Arndale Octa):

$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/pm_genpd/pm_genpd_summary
    domain                      status         slaves
           /device                                      runtime status
----------------------------------------------------------------------
power-domain                    on
    /devices/platform/amba/3880000.adma                 suspended
power-domain                    off
power-domain                    off
power-domain                    off
power-domain                    off
power-domain                    off

This really is not helpful. From the power domain debugfs code it is
complicated to extract of_node of power domain. It is easier to print
the name of power domain. But wait... all names are the same! :) So
why do we have the name in the first place?
