No I am not. :-) Let me elaborate.

For the single PM domain case, 'dev' and 'base_dev' are pointing to
the same device. So this works fine.

For the multiple PM domain case or when attaching goes via
genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id(), 'dev' is the virtual device registered in
genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id(). In this case, it's 'dev' that is becoming
attached to genpd and not the 'base_dev'. Note also that, runtime PM
has not been enabled for 'dev' yet at this point and 'dev' has been
assigned the same OF node as 'base_dev", to allow OF parsing to work
as is for it.

Moreover, to deal with runtime PM in the multiple PM domain case, the
consumer driver should create a device link. Along the lines of this:
device_link_add(base_dev, dev, DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME |
DL_FLAG_STATELESS), thus assigning the virtual device ('dev') as the
supplier for its consumer device ('base_dev').

See above. It shouldn't have to be complicated. If it still is, there
is something to fix for the multiple PM domain case.
