I've taken a look onto of_genpd_add_subdomain. Please correct me if I'm
wrong, I have the feeling that this function is badly designed. It
provokes to use the following sequence:
- register child domain
- register child's domain provider
- mark child as a subdomain of a parent.

So we have a (short) timeslice when users can get hold of child domain,
but the system knows about a child domain, but does not about a
parent/child relationship.

I think this function should be changed to take struct generic_pm_domain
as a second argument. I will attempt refactoring cpuidle-psci-domain to
follow this, let's see if this will work.

Another option would be to export genpd_get_from_provider() and to use
genpd_add_subdomain() directly.

I think I'd need this function anyway for the gdsc code. During
gdsc_init() we check gdsc status and this requires register access (and
thus powering on the parent domain) before the gdsc is registered itself
as a power domain.
