The power domain pre-transition and post transition calls were kept
under the CONFIG_PM_DEBUG in the first few versions of the patches.
These pre and post
transition use to take lot of time once in while when measurement were
done and the only
useful thing they were doing was the counter updates. Later I removed
the PM_DEBUG as
per your suggestion.

As per Pauls comment they are optimised, so that should be good.

In this code the need is to clear only CPU and MPUPD, and hence they are
explicitly cleared since the pre/post transition calls can be moved to PM_DEBUG
in production kernels.

But as you stated in current mainline kernel they are superfluous since the
pre/post calls are not under PM debug. So I am ok either way
