Which commit exactly are you talking about, for reference?

This looks like a candidate for the new PM domain callbacks, ->activate and
->dismiss.

->activate() is called before the probe, so it may power up things.

->dismiss() in turn is called in the failed probe case, so it can do the
cleanup.

Have you considered using these?
