registers are in secure domain, and should be accessed by smc.

We should avoid the GENPD_FLAG_ALWAYS_ON unless strictly necessary. If
you look at a1_pwrc_domains[] in this same driver, any use of this flag
has a comment for why it's needed, and it's usually because the domain
is used by low-level SoC/PM code not controlled by linux.
All of these appear to be domains that linux should have driver control,
so should not be set to always on.

Yes, I understand, this is teh same as for other SoCs (e.g. A1.) The
solution is not to set the domain to always on. The solution is for the
drivers for the devices in these domains use runtime PM so that when the
drivers are active, the power domain does not get shut off.

OK, this one makes sense for "always on" since it used by firmware for
wakeup.

The goal of the power-domain framework + runtime PM is to be able to
save power by turnin off power domains when they are not in use.

My strong preference is that this is controlled by the kernel.

Yes, you mentioned what the domains are for, but you have not answered
why the domains need to remain powered on when they are not in use.
>> S4_VPU_HDMI: for vpu, this domain provide power to many moudles(osd, vpp, hdr, dv, di), if close, will cause system crash
Why does the system crash? Most likely because a driver in this domain
is still trying to access. This suggests that that the DT shoud be
updated so those devices are listed in the power domain, and also that
those drivers use runtime PM so that the power domain is turned off ONLY
when the devices are not in use.
>> S4_USB_COMB domain: for usb, if not always on, all usb status will clear to 0, that's not right status for usb
Why is this not the right status for usb?
Again, my question is: why does the power domain need to stay on when
the underlying devices are NOT used.
If the underlying devices are in use, then if the power domain turns off
it is a software bug. Devices need to be connected to the power domain
(in DT) and their drivers need to use runtime PM. If that is done
correctly, then there is no reason for the power domain to be turned off
when the devices are in use.
In other words, your solution to always keep the power domain on has a
two main problems:
1) it just hides improperly configured, or poorly written drivers
2) it wastes power and prevents low-power usecases
