In order to safely remove PM domains there are a few changes that need to be made to ensure that no one is holding an external reference to a PM domain after it has been removed. One solution, implemented here, solves this by eliminating external references to PM domain. This is a follow-up to the initial RFC I sent out [0]. Changes from initial RFC: - Renamed functions made static per Ulf's feedback. - Added patch to clean-up provider/xlate APIs per Ulf's feedback - Re-worked and simplified the association between PM domains and PM domain providers. Dropped the 'provider_data' variable from the generic_pm_domain structure in favour of using the fwnode_handle. - Split patch for removing PM domains into multiple patches per Ulf's feedback.
