I think the API should only have the domain ID as input so:

int tegra_powerdomain_on(int id) 

/*
 * Prerequisites: domain is off
 * Result: domain is on, clocks of the modules in the domain are off, modules are in reset
 */

int tegra_powerdomain_off(int id)

/*
 * Prerequisites: all clocks of the modules in the domain are off
 * result: domain is off
 */

Cheers,
