[PATCH] pmdomain: raspberrypi-power: add remove function

[PATCH] pmdomain: raspberrypi-power: add remove function

[Gregor Herburger]

The raspberrypi-power driver registers resources with
of_genpd_add_provider_onecell and pm_genpd_init but never removes them.
When the driver gets unbound and bound again this causes error. Add a
remove function to cleanup all registered resources.

In general it's not a good idea to allow unbinding power domain
drivers, as it will probably break consumers and their drivers.
Although, I don't know whether it makes sense in this particular case.

Another option is to prevent user-space from unbinding by adding the below here:
".suppress_bind_attrs = true,"

Ok. I stumbled on this when I was trying to fix an error in the remove path of
the raspberrypi-firmware driver. I have not checked if all the drivers still
work so you are probably right.

That would be the simpler solution. If I add this for this driver, it should
also be added to raspberrypi-firmware and to bcm2835-mbox. Because without those
drivers this driver wouldn't work anyways. Should I add this to those drivers?
And remove the remove callbacks?

Yes, that seems reasonable to me.
