Right, this makes sense.

Could we perhaps work out which commit it fixes, or perhaps the
problem been there long time ago and we should just add a stable tag?

One piece is missing to make this fix complete.

More precisely, you must also move the call to dev_pm_domain_set(dev, NULL).

Currently that is done from genpd_free_dev_data(), as it corresponds
to genpd_alloc_dev_data(), but clearly the proper place to call it
should be from genpd_remove_device().

Kind regards

OK, will also look into that.

It looks like commit 989561de9b51 ("PM / Domains: add setter for
dev.pm_domain") added the helper. I then follow it to commit
f104e1e5ef57 ("PM / Domains: Re-order initialization of
generic_pm_domain_data"). The code in the original commit 6ff7bb0d02f8
("PM / Domains: Cache device stop and domain power off governor results,
v3") looks OK to me.

So What should I do ? Add
Fixes: f104e1e5ef57 ("PM / Domains: Re-order initialization of
generic_pm_domain_data")

tag in the mainline. And when Greg or others fix up before v4.4, I need
to work out the fix for that stable version ?
