Why do we need these functions? Can't we just call
mutex_lock/unlock directly?

These look a little outdated.

Please use sizeof(*cp) instead.

Can this be -EPROBE_DEFER so that we can defer probe until a
later time if the power domain provider hasn't registered yet?

Would it be possible to call the of_genpd_add_to_domain() and
of_genpd_del_from_domain() functions directly in the driver core,
similar to how the pinctrl framework has a hook in there? That
way we're not relying on any initcall ordering for this.
