grab it from old patch. I will fix that, I suppose it should something
like:
if (!ret && packet.on != on)
ret = -EINVAL;
to confirm if packet.on is set or unset afterwards. I don't know if this
is a valid error reporting mechanism from firmware.
I will drop such checking here.

yes, I will fix it.

Okay, Eric Anholt told me to support the power domains which he had in
his patch only. I would add add the power domains only which has an
use-case -> "USB".

I would say yes. The function will call:
list_add(&genpd->gpd_list_node, &gpd_list);
And gpd_list is a _static_ list inside the generic power domain subsystem.
If probing fails we need to delete these entries from gpd_list again.
I searched the whole file about "gpd_list_node" and can't find a
list_del on it. :-( Seems such handling isn't supported, but I think
"normally" it should be cleanuped then.
