Yeah, now it's a bit clearer!

At this point, I think that you can get away with locking just one path (or two):

/* This is the one giving me lots of suspects */
static void scpsys_remove_one_domain(struct scpsys_domain *pd)
{
int ret;

***lock***
if (scpsys_domain_is_on(pd))
scpsys_power_off(&pd->genpd);
***unlock***

.....
}

/* This one as well eventually */
static struct
generic_pm_domain *scpsys_add_one_domain(struct scpsys *scpsys, struct device_node
*node)
{
...............

if (MTK_SCPD_CAPS(pd, MTK_SCPD_KEEP_DEFAULT_OFF)) {

if (scpsys_domain_is_on(pd)) /* Maybe LOCK this one too? */

dev_warn(scpsys->dev,
"%pOF: A default off power domain has been ON\n", node);
} else {
** *** lock ***
ret = scpsys_power_on(&pd->genpd);
** *** unlock ***
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err(scpsys->dev, "%pOF: failed to power on domain: %d\n", node, ret);
goto err_put_subsys_clocks;
}

if (MTK_SCPD_CAPS(pd, MTK_SCPD_ALWAYS_ON))
pd->genpd.flags |= GENPD_FLAG_ALWAYS_ON;
}

..........
}

Can you please try locking only the remove_one_domain() poweroff call before
trying both?

Reason is that in the add_one_domain() case, we haven't registered the power
domain yet, so locking may not be required there to make things ticking right.

Cheers!
