Per the changelog this is deliberate. If we allow !PM, then there is a
potential that you could probe a device when the power domain is not
powered on. I understand that some SoCs turn on all the power-domains
when !PM but this will not work for tegra because we don't register the
power domain until later in the boot and so we are relying upon probe
deferral to defer the probe of devices that use power-domains.

Cheers
Jon
