okay, I added now:

WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(genpd->master_links) ||
             !list_empty(genpd->slave_links) ||
             !list_empty(genpd->dev_list));

So far I understand is master/slave something about domains/subdomains,
the dev_list fis for atteched devices.

But how can I check "if the genpd has an of-provider", the "struct
generic_pm_domain" doesn't know a "of-provider". There is a static list
"of_genpd_providers", do you want to iterate over all and then doing
some matching algorithmn? Or do you want to add something inside "struct
generic_pm_domain", so a genpd knows about the "of-provider".

I am currently confused about how to check on "of-provider".
