Looking into this some more, it turns out that of_genpd_add_provider_onecell()
now returns an error if one of the provided power domains does not exist.
In this case, the "ARM" power domain does not exist. I don't see where it is
created, so it may well be that this now fails for all imx6 boards with
multi_v7_defconfig. Looking into kernelci.org test results, this is confirmed
for at least imx6dl-riotboard. Overall I think it is quite safe to assume
that all imx6 boards crash with mainline kernels and multi_v7_defconfig.

The change can be tracked down to commit 0159ec67076 ("PM / Domains: Verify
the PM domain is present when adding a provider"). Adding everyone in the
commit log for feedback.
