Technically this:

Fixes: 6494a9ad86de ("usb: xhci: tegra: Add genpd support")

which was merged into v4.20.

However, I have never seen this actually crash on current kernels and
only came across it while working on a change to reset controls which
can cause dev_pm_domain_attach_by_name() to fail. That function can't
fail in current kernels, so I don't think we need to fix this in old
kernels. So if we can get this into v5.0, that'd be good enough for
me.
