I applied on my local development branch all your suggestions except this
one because genpd_dev_pm_detach() as well as acpi_dev_pm_detach() set
dev->pm_domain = NULL.
Due to this I would call first ->dismiss() then ->detach(), as initially
proposed. Please let me know if you consider it otherwise.
Thank you,
