We don't need this, it's redundant and weird to me.

Also I am kind of worried that you will hit another new path in genpd,
causing locking issues etc, as it has not been designed to work like
this (a provider device and a child domain sharing the same "parent").

It's perfectly fine that dispcc acts as a genpd provider. In this
case, the corresponding PM domain should be assigned as a child for
the parent MMCX domain. That should make this work, I think.

That sounds reasonable as well.
