So you are saying you'd be OK with essentially the following (with
devm_pm_domain_attach() actually being elsewhere in a real patch and not
necessarily mimicked by devm_add_action_or_reset()):

If so, then OK, it will work for me as well. This achieves the
same behavior as with using devres group. The only difference is that if
we ever need to extend the platform bus to acquire/release more
resources they will also have to use devm API and not the regular one.

Thanks.
