If the genpd->attach_dev or genpd->power_on fails, genpd_dev_pm_attach
may return -EPROBE_DEFER initially. However genpd_alloc_dev_data sets
the PM domain for the device unconditionally.

When subsequent attempts are made to call genpd_dev_pm_attach, it may
return -EEXISTS checking dev->pm_domain without re-attempting to call
attach_dev or power_on.

platform_drv_probe then attempts to call drv->probe as the return value
-EEXIST != -EPROBE_DEFER, which may end up in a situation where the
device is accessed without it's power domain switched on.

This looks like the right fix to me.

Right, this makes sense.

Could we perhaps work out which commit it fixes, or perhaps the
problem been there long time ago and we should just add a stable tag?

One piece is missing to make this fix complete.

More precisely, you must also move the call to dev_pm_domain_set(dev, NULL).

Currently that is done from genpd_free_dev_data(), as it corresponds
to genpd_alloc_dev_data(), but clearly the proper place to call it
should be from genpd_remove_device().

Kind regards
