In v2 it has been discussed to just mirror the power_on acquisition.

Double checking now, all the current users of dev_pm_domain_attach() follow
this rule, except the i2c bus. i2c powers on the domain conditionally:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.15.2/source/drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c#L575

and powers it off unconditionally:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.15.2/source/drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c#L638

Should we take this into account ?

Thank you,
Claudiu

OK!

Thank you for your review,
