yes correct.

Yes this will be correct as others also suggested to make per genpd
notifier block.

My fault, I somehow missed this link earlier. After going through
this, I found it registers genpd from the platform driver, so the
function signature is
int pm_genpd_register_notifier(struct device *dev, struct notifier_block *nb);
I suggest to make the function signature to be like,
int pm_genpd_register_notifier(struct device_node *np, struct
notifier_block *nb)

In this way this function should should be able to support both
platform devices and non platform devices like clk.

The function may work like,

pdev = of_find_device_by_node(np);
if (pdev) {
         //  get genpd from device and go ahead with notfier registration.
         // blocking_notifier_chain_register(genpd->pd_notifier, nb)
} else
{
        // get pd_handle from np
        // get the pd_name from phandle and try registering this gen pd
        // if the genpd subsystem is not initialised then add this in
a temporary list and register the notifier later
}

Can you post your implementation with 1st part ? Later I can post the
else part with my changes.

Yes this list check is not correct. Will update this. Thanks.

yes correct.
