It "just works"... until the domain gets turned off.

Yes, but but more importantly, there are platforms where RPM must get
enabled for the power domain to *stay* on.  For example, the power
domain might get turned on due to devices probing etc, but as soon as
all the RPM-enabled drivers drop their refcount, the domain will turn
off.  If there is a device in that domain with a non-RPM enabled driver,
that device will be powered off anc cause a crash.

You're only looking at the attach, power-on phase.  You need to think
about when the domain powers off and powers back on.
