On my platform, when the device is attached to the PD it gets turned on.
That feels logical to me: if a driver is not RPM aware it "just works".
Are there platforms where RPM must get enabled for the attached
power-domains to be turned on?

The call chain that attaches & enables PD is platform_probe ->
dev_pm_domain_attach. That function takes a bool power_on which is
always true. In the genpd case, genpd_dev_pm_attach
calls __genpd_dev_pm_attach which does a genpd_power_on.

Things I've not accounted for:

 - ACPI looks like it does the same but I've not checked. It gets passed
   the power_on bool argument.

 - genpd_dev_pm_attach early returns with no error if there are multiple
   PM domains attached to the device. There are many platforms in the
   case according to some devicetree grepping. I can imagine a behavior
   difference where dev_pm_domain callpaths handle that differently in
   the RPM case. Is that what we are discussing?

I agree & I have a prototype, but that requires some work on the child
devices as from what I remember they are not eager to go to runtime
suspend (ie a driver might be holding a reference).

I feel this leans outside the scope of this patch series though.
